we got some cute little girl clothes
Daniel put the stroller together
There was loads of good food....
And the Chocolate Butter-Cream cake with vanilla filling was divine.
A couple of days ago the folks over here threw me a baby shower. We got lots of nice stuff....thank you everybody who contributed! Also, special thank you to everyone in NJ who gave us gifts. Thanks to my family for the little clothes and the books, we've already started reading them together. Thank you Aunt Allie for the awesome playpen, thank you Aunt Rachel for the things you sent a few months ago...I am going to be doing some scrapbooking over the next few weeks with that little baby album.
Yesterday we had tour of the local hospital with our Childbirth Class. We are planning on having a home birth, but the tour was included when we signed up and plus we're pre-admitted to the hosp. should the need arise. Anyway, I thought it looked like an extremely un-relaxing environment to give birth in. The lights were super bright and the bed looked uncomfortable and there were like no private showers or tubs to labor in. I guess if that's all you know your options to be it will work, and this particular hosp. was quite small, but I'm very thankful to have grown up with a familiarity to natural home birth. According to our midwife, Midwifery in Canada has not been around that long compared to the states but recently home birth and using doulas have become more common. Well tomorrow I'm 35 weeks...5 more to go! I think the baby has dropped a bit because everything feels and looks lower...and I am starving ALL THE TIME. It's been hard to sleep at night and recently I've been waking up in the middle of the night ravenous and needing "something" so I usually eat some organic cerial and milk. :) Anyways, here are a few pictures from this week...enjoy.
