bags nearly packed

OK hospital stay bag is 95% packed

Labour room bag is 50% packed.

I hate packing for any event as I never know what I will really need and often lug a huge suitcase full of unnecessary things around.

I also have done a quick birth announcement document that hopefully I will be able to fill in birth date and weight details and perhaps a photo and then send off to whoever needs to know once baby is born and I am home.

This will save me picking through fonts, wording etc when I am too tired to ... although I imagine choosing a photograph to send off will be a task in itself.

I went early to the markets today and am feeling pretty tired ... I have 4 nights of looking after kt solo, cooking dinner, cleaning up etc ... so I think I will probably go to bed pretty early for the next few nights.

Kt and I went to a new playground this morning for a bit of a play.

She had a lot of fun and it was nice to get her out into the fresh air ... too many mossies about though.

Am thinking I am starting to feel a bit better now ... have been getting plenty of early nights and lots of sleep and I think that has helped.

Have read two big books on birth etc and now onto my third.

Feeling very knowledgeable ... hope I can remember all I need to during the actual birth.
