A few new stories!

Well well... The baby has dropped! Well not officially yet (midwife appointment on Wednesday) but it sure feels that way. It's great to have a little more breath in my lungs... but not so super to have a little more pressure on my bladder! Complain Complain... bad me!

So with baby getting into position this means that baby is also getting closer to joining us! Now only 5 weeks away... I'm getting the feeling that this time is going to fly by... So i have begun getting my hospital bag ready... with assorted "standard" goodies... would love any other suggestions that people found helpful during labour.

Matty & I completed our Pre-Natal course.... I must applaud him because it sure wasn't #1 or even #100 on his priority list. It was a pretty grueling experience for him... but he did wonderfully. We learnt a lot about the birthing process... (o my) and pain management techniques.. I found the class to be very helpful... but very very very long! O the joys!!!

So after this hospital bag gets assembled... it looks like we are really just waiting for baby to come.. and being that it is our first... well it might be a long wait! It's funny because Matthew can barely talk about the baby anymore... he finds it way too exciting and just wants it to be out now. He has learnt a couple of techniques now to induce/help bring on labour... and keeps trying to test them out... I have had to get a strong upper hand when this happens :)

Well we are going to be parents in a couple of weeks... our lives changed forever! I am still just wowed by this whole experience! Can't wait!

Only 6 weeks and 2 days...

I am in disbelief that Baby Robinson is coming in a little over 6 weeks. I really can't believe that I have been preggers for 33 weeks and that this baby is going to becoming to join our world so soon. It has felt like such a long time of being pregnant... but really at the same time I can't believe that the road is almost at an end. We keep saying to each other... wow the baby is just around the corner! 

This week should be neat... we have our Hospital Tour & Prenatal Class. I have also ordered like 5 books online that range from Birth to 2 years old and everything in between! So lots of reading to keep me busy!

It's been interesting sleeping these days... sometimes propped up with Snoogle, or in a chair, or curled up in a ball... o brother... it sure gets fun in these last days!

Finally Off!!!

Wow... i can't believe that work is finally done! I have to tell you that I thought I wasn't going to know what to do with myself... ha! There is sooooo much going on! Busy Bee Busy Bee!!!

I do have to congratulate a friend of mine... Rachel Cornelsen (we were FVCH buds) who gave birth to a very beautiful and healthy baby boy two weekends ago. His name is Asher Hermann Cornelsen and weighed in at 7lbs 3 oz... but here is the amazing part...

He was due Aug. 22 and born on July 27th!!! Congrats Rach & Andrew!

As for me... we had the Big Robinson Reunion this past weekend... and I ended up missing most of it! :( The part that I attended was lovely though! I got teased because half way through... I'm like.. "well off to take a nap".. and then came back a couple hours later! Oopsie!!!

It is really nice being in Maple Ridge these days... waking up and spending some time with Matty before he leaves for work.. walking with my mom (and our crazy dogs).. and having a bit more time for family & friends! Really looking forward to these days ahead.. organizing home & nursery.. working a little.. doing errands.. and really taking time to set up "shop" for baby!

What a blessing I have... being able to have 2 1/2 months off of work before Baby comes!
