34 weeks

Earlier in the week we had our last antenatal class at the Birth Centre. We met some first time parents and their sweet little 3 month old daughter, and talked about the few weeks following birth. I know it will be an intense (wonderful, mind blowing, exhausting, fulfilling) time, but I'm sure it's too hard for me to fathom now just how intense it will be. That's ok though, every first time parent is much the same I imagine, perhaps it's enough just to feel ready? I think I'm almost there.

Despite the fact that I've had my work 'head' on in this last week before I start maternity leave, we've still managed to tick a few baby check boxes. Most importantly, we've bought a new (secondhand) car so we're ready for when the baby seat people call; our nappies have arrived and K has installed our Little Squirt; the blinds in the nursery are being fitted tomorrow morning; and we bought a small upright bar freezer from the classifieds which will live in the (very kind) parents' garage to store all our frozen meals (as poor old Kelvin might struggle with this task).

So, only one more day of work to go...

PS...and then I'm looking forward to visiting my blogging friends who I've been neglecting a little lately. So very sorry...I'll be back to check out what you've been up to soon. x

PPS. The softest cotton and most blissfully comfortable maternity pyjamas from here...they've been one of my favourite pregnancy buys so far (and in fact one of the only 'maternity' pieces I've bought) . The photo doesn't do them justice though - they're actually very sweet and quite a bit cute.
