36 weeks

Life in the Shoe household has not slowed down a bit..!
Ross has started back up in school..
which makes our time together shorten quite a bit.. so sad..
ANYWAY..
I am having a home birth and having your baby at home there are somethings you need to do to prepare..
I was given a list of things I needed to get together.. extra sheets, lots of towels, paper towels.. flashlight.. crock pot.. the list goes on and on... on top of what you have to sterilize certain things..
but to know I will be home is such a comforting feeling..
for those who know me I am not one who likes to shop.. if I can go a month without going into the supermarket then I will go a month.. we eat what we have until we have nothing left..
well I am starting to think its time to fill up the pantry and get things going because once baby comes I think I will only use that as an excuse to not go even more..!
I will try to update before Baby Shoe comes along..
and will for sure blog about the birth..
books I am reading..
Sometime A Light Surprises (for book club) just started it.. I sometimes have a hard time with novels.. I like to read to learn new things.. research.. BUT book club is a few weeks away so i better get going..!
Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way- I am learning so many wonderful things in this book and so happy someone recommended it to me.. She told me it helped her out a ton and I can see why..
example.. it doesn't matter if you are 4 centimeters or 8 centimeters that doesn't tell you how long it will be before you have the baby.. its how long the contraction is and how close together they are..
AND when you are fully dilated its not just push push babies out.. sometimes that can take hours..
SO I am happy I am learning many things so I will be a bit more prepared in what is going on..
