Brought home the work laptop yesterday (I will be working from home while on maternity leave) and my baby shower is tomorrow. Who hit fast forward on all this stuff happening?
I bought baby's baptism outfit. We're doing it really early, I'm due July 5th and we have the baptism set for July 24th. Family is coming up that weekend to meet the baby so I thought it would be the perfect time to do it.
Where did you ladies buy your baptism outfit's for baby? Everywhere I look online is very expensive and shops aren't much better, I'm looking for somewhere with international postage!

We just unpacked and washed the baby bottles and seeing them on the drying rack in our kitchen counter made our kitchen feel like a baby was already here!
Packed the diaper bag for real today, it's been sitting in the corner with unopened packs of diapers and wipes and unwashed clothes piled on it. 7 weeks to go!
I just got off the phone with the on call doctor. Looks like my weird cramping/back pain/pressure the last 1.5 days could be the real deal. She wants me to time it and if its a regular pattern 10-15 minutes apart then we need to go in. I am hoping because I was proactive and called an actual doctor it will suddenly go away?
Yesterday we had our hospital tour, which I loved and made me feel even more confident that we made the right choice. Then we went straight from there to the baby shower! Definitely a "shit is getting real kind of day"!
Had our hospital tour yesterday as well @stellaluna14 and it was great! They told us they deliver about 10 babies daily. Some lady was in labor in one of the wards and then about 20 mins later we heard "brahms lullaby" assuming she had her baby....I got teary eyed and am right now thinking about it!
@Jodi1980 a baby was born during our tour too! We were looking at an empty room and we heard the babies first cry in the next room over and I swear half the tour was on the verge of tears and my nips got all leaky haha. It was exciting. And a little terrifying.
Hi everyone! Little update... Things continued as they were on and off the rest of last night and today. I called this morning to talk to my doctor and see what she wanted me to do. She had me come in, do a cervix check (closed) and some pre-labor probe/swab? WELL it turns out I had elevated blood pressure and some of the symptoms look like preeclampsia. So now I get to pee in a bucket for the next 24 hours and go back for another blood pressure reading tomorrow. I am feeling a little anxious 1. because I still feel crampy and that wasn't solved and 2. because I wasn't worried about pre-e before, so how dare they throw that on my plate now too!?! Ha. I am trying to stay calm and be a good sport about things but being in the dark is hard. I guess I will know more tomorrow.... I appreciate all the sweet thoughts! I have missed this community in the day I've been away!
