More Baby Prep...

14 days to my due date... where did the time go?

There is a 'myth' our there which says that labour & delivery floors in hospitals are always completely full on Fridays when there is a full moon. And this 'myth' is not entirely a myth because there was actually a study done on this, and apparently many hospitals claim it's true, as do many L&D doctors and nurses. It has something to do with 'pulling' of the amniotic fluid, but I am not entirely sure. Anyway, yesterday was a Friday with a full moon, but I guess this myth did not work for us. I am still very much so pregnant without any labour signs or symptoms.

We've had our 3rd and final stroller delivered on Thursday afternoon from Sears. We got a convenience stroller for Natasha because I dislike the simple $30 umbrella strollers. They require me to walk with my back kind-of hunched over and it's not comfortable. So we got a stroller that folds just like an umbrella one, but it's much higher and sturdier - Graco® IPO Convenience Stroller. And today we took it out for a test-walk, and it's super comfortable! Natasha also didn't complain. Our living room is beginning to look a little like a garage with all the strollers, so we might fold one or two and put them into the closet. I have to give credit to Sears.ca for their awesome delivery windows - they allow you to pick a day and time-frame for their major products so you don't have to sit at home for an entire week waiting for your purchase to arrive. And their delivery charge is only about $12 which is very cheap, in my opinion.

Strollers

My hospital bag is packed and ready to go. It's actually very difficult to pack a hospital bag because you never know what size clothing you'll wear only a few days postpartum. Some women go into their pre-pregnancy clothes right off, but for others it takes time to fit into those again. I took some of each. And I've also packed our baby's going-home outfit, which is the same one Natasha wore home, along with some newborn onesies, sleepers, socks, hats, and blankets. We're pretty much set, so now it all depends on the baby!
