The date is getting closer and suddenly there has been a lot of baby related activity. We attended our intensive antenatel weekend class, which was, to put quite mildly, overwhelming! It was a fun 10 couple group; a lot of laughs and fun, yes. BUT, towards the end of the session things got a bit serious and graphic. I left the class that day seriously contemplating an elective caesar.
A few days later friends in Sydney had organised a "surprise" baby shower :) Sorry to disappoint but the surprise didn't quite last 4 days leading to it. I happened to hear a voicemail that AE was listening to on speaker on his swanky new mobile.
At my weekly OB appointment that week the usual rigmarole ensued. Position: C; BP: Normal; Swelling: none; Pee: Perfect!; Fundal height: 34; Heartbeat: a horse gallopin away...well what more can I ask for? :)
A hospital tour last weekend delivered us into the transitory birthing units and post-natal wards at the Westmead Hospital. Nothing fancy at the birthing unit. Four walls, a ceiling, a floor, a bed, some gas etc. The newly built wards were swanky and had the looks of a 5 star hotel. That's something to look forward to while cuddling and relaxing with bub.
And to top it all, we have been on this shopping spree, gearing up for the baby's arrival. Our garage space is getting smaller and smaller as I get bigger and bigger!
This weekend, Sunday, September 9th to be precise, mama will arrive in Sydney. Coincidentally it's Grandparents Day! I'm sure she will be super-thrilled when she hears that!
