Today we took delivery of our cot mattress - bought online at John Lewis. I've done quite a bit of surfing as there is so much stuff you can buy on the net.
Yesterday was the mummy's biblestudy group here and everyone got to talk about their birth horror stories. A bit exhausting actually. I felt fine at the time, but by last night I was feeling quite shaken. There just seems to be an awful lot of stuff that happens, and you don't know what to make a fuss about and what to just accept.
On a positive note : I met a girl at swimming last night who is due on Friday, and having a home birth. She was looking great, and said she'd so enjoyed the swimming all these months. She is also zoned for Homerton, so we may yet bump into one another in the future - weighing babies or having innoculations.
More good news : apparently the Homerton have just finished refurbishing their birthing rooms. They re-opened a week or more ago. Excellent timing methinks.
We've spent some time reading through all the lists of what we need to get. Made some lists last night, and did a bit of thinking about when and what to pack. I feel like a real boy scout.
We're becoming more aware of baby's shape - last night there was a definite 'head' sticking out next to my belly button. It feels quite tight and uncomfortable, although that doesn't last - it seems to be in 'rotation', and then settles into something more comfy.
