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...

The nursery is done - well, mostly!

I'm so happy - finally, at 38 weeks pregnant, I have a completed nursery! The last piece of furniture was delivered the other day and now we have set it all up - I think it's gorgeous, I am SO happy with it - take a look at the pics below, although they don't really allow you to see everything correctly or do it justice. I may add a short video in here too.
But basically all we want to do now is:
a) put baby's name above his bed in large white wooden letters (which we already have, just have to mount)
b) put a shelf unit above the blanket box, which will be painted white. The shelf unit is great, I will post a pic at some point
c) put a white framed colourful jungle print above the dresser
Then it will be DONE! :) Yay!
In a way I'm glad we waited so long to do the nursery, not that it was what we wanted or intended - it just kinda happened that way due to other people, like our painter-friend, being slack - but now it makes everything much more exciting. I think if everything had been sitting there ready to go already, and I hadn't still had so much to do while on leave, I might have gotten anxious or impatient or bored. But as it is, I'm just excited!
The baby seat gets fitted on Thursday so I have let bubby know he can arrive sometime after that :) Will be interesting to see when he actually decides to join us - so many people think I will go early and I've heard SO MANY ladies going early lately - maybe it's the hot weather and the storms, or something in the air. :) All very mysterious but the one thing I know is - he'll come when he's good and ready, and not a minute before. So what's the point of stressing? :)
OK here are my pics - enjoy! I would love to hear your comments, and I'll update with video or better pics when I get the chance...
