My bag is packed...

...And I'm ready to go

Well, nearly packed. Just need some singlets for bubs, day clothes for me and a "labour bag" for stuff while in labour (derrr).

I went shopping a couple of weeks ago in a mad "i have to buy the things on the list from the hospital that i don't have yet!!!" panic shop. It was a rather successful shop - forgot a few things, but all in all good.

I bought four flannel baby wraps, three cotton baby wraps, three cotton bunny rugs and a polar fleece baby blanket. What is the difference between a baby wrap, bunny rug and a baby blanket? *** shrug ***, the label on the packet?

I bought four hats, which i have been told by one person is a complete waste of time, but have told by another are the best things you can have, two pairs of mittens (to stop little finger from scratching) three pairs of booties, for little footsies, three onesies that came with a matching bib, two nighties for me and two pairs of slinky satin PJ's - and all that for $130!!! Does this girl know how to shop!!!

And i would like to add for the person the bought peanut some V V funky singlets for Christmas that i am not packing them, they are waiting till we get home and be shown off on hot Summer days when all peanut will feel like wearing is a nappy and a singlet - an uber kewl, bight coloured, chesty bonds singlet!

So peanut is due one month from yesterday! home straight! I have had people ask if i am over the whole being pregnant thing and i would have to say - naaaaah, its alright. I love the kicking i am getting and still find the whole being able to see him stretching from the outside fascinating and freaky at the same time.

But i suppose give me more hot days like we had last week and i will not be so optimistic!
