    Congrats Eutra! Enjoy your baby moon!

    Can't wait to read your birth story when you can stop soaking up your little guy and write it out.

    AFM, finally have found a birth pool thanks to my lovely HB group. I pick it up this weekend. Just need to order a liner and scoop and I think we're almost done. Had an appt with my second m/w yesterday, all looking good. Showed her around so she knows where everything is as I might not see her again until the birth.

    And a lovely BB friend is organising my baby welcoming morning tea. I decided to ask everyone to bring along (or send) a lovely message for me to read in labour or for the baby. We don't need any baby stuff, so that seemed a better idea.

    What did everyone do as far as wrapping the baby after birth? Did you use a towel or special blanket? I thought I might ask my Mum to get something for us, since she won't be here for the birth itself.

    My lovely DP got me a new video camera for our 12 year anniversary on the weekend. So the new baby will be filmed in HD style now!

    Jennifer: how exciting you will get to meet your baby soon. Immediately after we put a towel over Bub and while having skin to skin in bed we still had a towel til after we dressed her then we wrapped her in a blanket.
