The Pregnancy, Birth & Early Life of Dexter...: Oh what a gorgeous evening it was!

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...

Oh what a gorgeous evening it was!

I just have to share about my wonderful night with Dave last night...

He officially started his 2 weeks annual leave after finishing work yesterday - so I suggested we do something special. We ended up getting some WONDERFUL Indian takeaway (spicy food can bring on labour!) and heading down to the beach with a bottle of wine and our picnic basket. After driving around for a few minutes along the beach at Burleigh Heads we found the PERFECT spot - a lovely little table which we set up with a tablecloth. We cracked open the wine (yes, I had a glass!) and laid out the food, and ate under the still-full moon.

Then we went for a walk along the beach - it was warm, but comfortable - and we got an ice cream. Everything was so lovely! It really helped us to relax and talk about the impending birth - and Dave is being so sweet, very attentive and tender toward me - I really feel that we are creating the perfect, relaxed and loving environment for our boy to be born into. Honestly, I'm glad that baby didn't come last week - this week just FEELS so much nicer. But now... any day, little one, ANY day would be JUST fine! :)

Will keep you all posted...
