Tomorrow marks full term. If Pip comes tomorrow onwards, we can go to the birth centre. My hospital bag is packed (barring a sieve and a mirror and a dressing gown – tasks for tomorrow) and I have washed the sheets for the Moses basket. I collected a cot top changer that i bought from eBay, completing the transaction in a marks and spencers carpark. I wouldn’t say we are ready, exactly, but, if Pip does make an early appearance, we will manage.
And so, to mark this, here are 2 photos. The first from last week, taken by my sister in law; the second from this afternoon in the garden, sat on a deck chair, enjoying the hot afternoon sunshine.

Grab yourself some Lanolin for you sore boobies. It is seriousy amazing stuff my nurse friend told me about- you can get it in Boots.
Good luck xx
More photos will be coming once the master photographer does his editing thing with them. xx
What is the sieve for?
Or do I not want to know?
I don’t think anyone is ever 100% ready. That’s half the fun!

I don’t think you want to know. (neither do I). I’m not allowed to give birth in the pool without it though 🙂
Right. Got it.
The warm water is the BEST for the pain by the way. I spent nearly my entire labour in there and didn’t want to get out at the end, even though I had to. Maybe that’s why I didn’t need a sieve!
