37 Weeks!

Well we are getting close now! It has been a busy time, and we are starting to wonder where all the time has gone! In fact we just had our first bit of 'pre-natal classes' last night thanks to a doula friend! This past week we also took a tour of the maternity ward at Lions Gate and saw all of the fun things they have there.


A few weeks ago during our regular visit with the doctor we mentioned (while wincing, fearing the repercussions) that we might consider going down to Creation Fest for a day. And we were, well, blown away by her response... she laughed and giggled, and said....."o you so have to do it, it would be so much fun!!! ooo hoo hoo!!" and I think we just looked at her with our jaws gently flapping in the breeze. So a week or 2 later, during the next exam she said.... "hmmmm, well dear, lets see how you do around the full moon......" Well apparently there is a noticeable increase in births around full moons, it may be similar to the moon's effect on tides, and during the full moon the amniotic fluid is pulled further, and it ruptures more easily. Ok, so what is the big deal.... when is the full moon.... July 18th, the same day Anna finishes work, and one week from this post! Not so ideal.... (Yes I know Amanda, your gunning for that day, but Anna does want a little bit of time to get organised and get the house in baby order...) so that is a small stresser. This being said, at the doctor's today Peanut was in the proper position (head down, back to the left) and she (my vote, no we don't know) is a good size and good to come any time he (there you go Anna.....) is ready.



Mommy and Peanut, occasionally have their disagreements over, umm everything



M: Time to sleep

P: Lets play soccer mom, no? How about somersaults?



M: Hmmmm I'm comfy

P: Mommy, I don't have space, let me punch this soft squishy thing.

M: GOTTA P!!!!!!



M: I'm hungry, I want to eat yummy butter chicken

P: MMM butter chicken, now how about heartburn... and lots of it!



Ahh the joys!



So Mom is feeling much better after our pre-natal lessons last night, though she did seem to go a bit green, and mutter something unintelligible under her breath when we saw a video of a birth and we watched a head push out.....



All this being said we are getting quite excited and a bit nervous about the upcoming massive change in our lives!



We hope to increase the posts during the next few weeks (or days) not all may have pictures, but we will try and keep everyone posted on what is going on!



Thanks for reading!



Adam, running out of ideas, Anna falling asleep, Nanook with her bone, and Peanut doing her thing (or his :P)
