The Pregnancy, Birth & Early Life of Dexter...

Chronicle of my first pregnancy, and the expected homebirth into water of my baby. This blog was started at 18 weeks of pregnancy (I was too lazy and tired to start before now!) and includes some flashbacks to the earlier days of the pregnancy... UPDATE 13/03/08: I have decided to continue this blog through the early months of Dex's life, and possibly beyond...

Niggly feelings, and a new capsule in the car!

Well as you can see I'm trying to keep up with this blog at least every second day and so far I'm being terribly good at it haha!

Not terribly much to update on - I had a few niggly, crampy period-like pains this morning that went on for a few hours, and I also think baby has dropped down a bit - it looks that way, anyway. So things are definitely happening! :) Progress is good!

And this morning I got the baby capsule installed in the car. We decided to hire a capsule - only $65 for 6 months, and they install it for you too. It is going to be good because we won't have to wake the baby to get him in and out of the car, which will be handy. The only downside is how much room it takes up in the car! Not much passenger seat room in the car now - which is fine when I'm driving by myself but when Dave & I go anywhere together we'll probably have to make him drive. No more designated driver for me haha! :)

Oh on another note - Dave just bought some plastic jungle animals yesterday for his project. Have I mentioned the "PROJECT" yet? hehe! Well basically he wants to build a jungle scene outside the window of the nursery - there is a big tree out there and so he wants to make kind of a window display for the baby to grow up with. The first step has been taken with the items he bought yesterday - he placed them out there and now he wants to get a few more animals when we can find them, like a zebra and giraffe and tiger etc - some more birds in the tree - and then put in a waterhole and rocks and all sorts of stuff - he's really taking it very seriously and is getting into it. I think it's lovely that it's something special he wants to do for his son! I've just taken some pictures which I've added here - cute huh? :)
