6 weeks to go

Just a quick update on the baby for those who haven't already been told, basically, it is not too big but not too small.....I guess Tina might be hoping it remains on the small side.

Also, we had a tour of the hospital at the last antenatal class, it seemed nice enough, though I am still a little concerned about the parking, especially if Watford are at home, as their ground is next door to the hospital. Maybe I can get Tina to keep her legs crossed in that situation. They are not on home on our due date (4th April), but are playing there on the 7th, 11th and the 18th (can we go that long overdue, I'm not sure)

And it was all yellow

We have finished decorating the baby's room, here are some pictures: -

















And here are a few to show how we have shuffled around our bedroom: -

There doesn't appear to be an instruction manual

Yesterday we went to our first Antenatal class (the first of four). Here's a brief rundown on the thrills and spills we had.....

....ok, we didn't really have any. Basically, we had a few group exercise things where we had to introduce ourselves and discuss what we were looking forward to about becoming parents, and what we wanted to get out of the class. Then we had a group exercise thing where we had a list of questions and we had to discuss the answers, with questions such as How long does labour last and When will your water break?

After this, we had another group exercise where we had a pile of cards with things on such as 'Feeling tired', 'Contractions Start', 'Pushing', 'Baby Born' and 'HELP!' and we had to put them in the order we thought they would come in during the labour process. I just stuck the 'HELP' one to me (we had name sticky tags already).....I'm so funny.

So, all in all it was a bit boring, I'm not really a fan of group exercises....oh yeah, we also learned the best position for the baby to be before it is born (that would be head down, facing inwards)....hopefully it will be a bit more learning and a bit less group work next week.

Ouch!

Stupid snow!

I slipped over this morning whilst taking the rubbish out, and now my (good) shoulder hurts as I landed on it......I guess at least I didn't screw it up like when I fell on the other one when I was 17
