Been feeling a bit 'off' - is something happening?

Well yesterday I had a rather strange experience - my vision got really blurred for about an hour, and I could barely see. Then I got a bit of a headache as well - and didn't feel quite right for the rest of the day. Today I was really tired too, and feeling lightheaded at times. I've had a few stronger pains down low and it's got me thinking - is something starting to happen? Maybe he's moving into position and it's taking a bit of a toll on my body - or maybe I've been pushing myself too hard. That could be it... I haven't slowed down much.

But I'm taking it as a sign to relax a bit more and enjoy these last few weeks of being not-a-mother, and our family being just Dave and I. It sort of hit me today that major changes are coming our way - so I'm going to take Dave out to dinner tonight for a 'date night', buying him dinner and treating him nice :) We won't be able to do that too often from now on!

I pampered myself a bit today with a trip to the hairdresser, got my hair all trimmed up and shaped, and a colour put in. I'm all set now, won't need to worry about it for a few months, not that I'll be able to! :)

I've been reading up about the last few baby products we need to buy - a baby sling, baby monitor and a breast pump. There are so many different varieties of those 3 products and so many different prices - it's VERY hard to know what to get! But after a lot of research, going through product reviews, reading advice from mothers on message boards etc... I think that the best sling may be the Hugabub Sling (www.hugabub.com) and the best breast pump the Medela Swing electric. Jury is still out on the monitor :) I think, seeing as it's technically a 'gadget', that I'll rope Dave into helping me with that one.

Now I just have to find both of those products on Ebay at bargain prices - a bit of a challenge seeing as they are both so popular and seem to hold their value. But I guess that's of benefit to us too, hopefully when we go to resell we'll have no problems recouping much of our costs.

Well I better go get ready to take my gorgeous husband out for dinner - I'm taking him to Outback Jacks, he's been wanting ribs for a few weeks now and I fancy some buffalo wings. We've never been there before, so I hope it's good! Wish me luck! :)
