Can you guess what movie I just watched?   …………… Kung Fu Panda

Eventful week, so this weekend is quite the welcome break.  Been nice to start having regular visits from friends who are in town for Christmas.  I’m no longer walking any significant distances, recently decided after falling  twice on the slippery snow/ice. But don’t worry the baby didn’t break the fall my trusty padded BUTT and HANDS did.  Didn’t realize I was so exhausted until I literally couldn’t keep my eyes for an hour straight today (I even had to take a break half way thru the movie.)

This week we toured the hospital’s birthing unit where our baby will be born. I tried my best not be traumatized or act traumatized as I stared at all the medical equipment and wondered out loud their uses. Jonathan had to keep squeezing my hand every once in awhile, so maybe my emotions were not quite hidden very well. Big surprise… that’s the pregnant me these days, every emotion written across my face.

I did like the big colourful exercise balls though. The midwife giving us the tour and briefing was very nice and cheery. The hospital delivery unit is pretty small so they don’t expect you to come in until you’re an hour or two away from delivery. And HOW am I supposed to know that, I asked. Apparently I’ll just know, and its some instinct that’s inside me somewhere. So let’s see if it surfaces.  But I did leave the hospital feeling slightly more at ease, ready and relieved, so now if i can just find some online birthing classes/videos to watch since there aren’t any around here.  If anyone has any suggestions, I’m all ears.
