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...

No... this isn't about the baby shower. Yet...

But just a couple of things I want to mention....

  • I was chatting to my belly yesterday, and asked the little man when he was going to come and see us. When I mentioned some dates, he kicked out twice when I said February 1st. Hmmm. Wonder if it means anything? Oh and Mum thinks 11th Feb is the day. We shall see!
  • I put the new cot together today! All by myelf! I love it - but the mattress we had already is a bit small. So I will have to get a new one - more expsense! Augh! Will it never end?
  • I have had a few feelings in the past week - hard to describe but - as if I can sense my body getting ready for the baby to come out. I was quite ahhhh.... (TMI warning!) moist last night, was wondering if it was a show or some fluid leaking but possibly it wasn't. And I've had some strong cramps that I can feel all through my middle to my bottom - Mum thinks maybe he's engaging. I hope so!
  • I have bought nearly everything I was still missing out on now - except a few little things like breast pads and mittens and stuff like that. As soon as the rest of the nursery furniture comes this weekend - and the old furniture gets picked up - then I can set it all up ready to go. I cannot BELIEVE that me - the Queen of Organisation - is only just NOW getting the nursery set up. It's bizarre!

That's all I can think of for now but I'm sure I'll be back shortly with more! I must talk about the baby shower more - it just seems such a chore *sigh* But ... if this is my only record of everything I suppose I should try and be a bit more committed to it!!! OK, I'll blog more - I promise! :)
