33 weeks and a bit down

33 weeks

Apart from fatigue and inability to sleep for more than 4 hours at a time I am doing quite well.

We’re really gearing up for the baby. We’ve been taking pre-natal classes offered by the hospital, I’ve washed most of the little clothies, I’ve gone for pre-natal massage, we’ve had another ultrasound, etc…

Pre-natal classes are pretty cool, we’re learning about what to expect at the hospital and getting mentally prepared for it. The delivery room sounds like a five star hotel. There is Jacuzzi and music and exercise balls… We’ve been practicing breathing techniques, but they are small potatoes compared to the breathing we do in yoga.

Thanks to our friends and family we have slowly been building up the infrastructure for the baby. I have about 10 cubic meters of clothies (2 years worth) to sort through. We just got a basinet today and the nursery is going in in two weeks. We’ve got newbie diapers and still have to get a nursing/hospital gown for me. We’ve looked at a couple today but they seemed too complicated.

The little munchkin still looks more like Chris than me, but seems to have more of my personality. He has not turned around yet and he was not interested in cooperating with the technician, but he was active and doing his breathing exercises.
