Cricket you sound crafty! I wish I was. I'd love to hand make something for this babe but don't even know how to knit. Maybe I can teach myself via YouTube tutorials or something.
I can't knit either. Well, I can, sort of, but I hate it. SOOOOO SLOW! Give crocheting a shot - it's a lot faster and pretty easy to learn. Look for instructions that have a video or at least pictures. There are tons of lovely baby patterns out there for free. Crocheting makes pretty girly clothing, IMO, but you can always do a blanket if you want to keep it more neutral. And, late pregnancy is a great time to try it - you're probably getting tired and sore, if you're anything like me, and a bit of time off your feet, making something pretty for your baby, is a nice break! Another bonus - baby stuff is small, so you can finish a project relatively quickly.

My midwives appointments are mostly at their office, but they will be coming to my house next week for my pre-baby home visit. They will also visit me at home for the week after birth, or longer if I need it. I love the follow-up care they give. I'll see them every other day at home for the first week, and then once at 2 weeks, 4 weeks if I want, and 6 weeks.

My friend who just had a baby, was discharged from hospital the day after she gave birth, (and hemorrhaged), worried about her baby's weight and nursing, and NO ONE is seeing her! She can't get in with her own doctor until May 7 or something. Now there are centres that she can take her baby to, to check his weight and talk to the health nurse, but I sure prefer having arrangements made with someone who knows me and my baby, and having them come to me!
