Baby classes

We had our first NCT class this Saturday. 5 sessions with other local first-time parents, trying to give us a better idea of what to expect for the birth... and beyond, for when you take this strange little creature home and have to look after it. Eek.

Five weeks to go, though (if all goes according to schedule) and we're slowly getting organised. We've got the car seat - thanks Cat! - and a crib - thanks Jon & Julie! - and even a rocking chair. And I think the baby monitor is powerful enough to stretch to the pub next door (thanks Margot!) And thanks to the fabulous shower 2 weeks ago, complete with suprise appearance (thanks Mom!) we've got books, toys, clothes, and an heirloom-to-be handmade blanket (thanks thanks thanks Stephanie!). Just a few more practicalities and we'll be set. Then it's just sit back and wait time. And wait. And wait!

I'm so glad I could be there for the shower. It was really fun, and great fun seeing your reaction to my surprise appearance. Now, we all await the appearance of Stashley!

The appearance of Stashley is very scary. I am currently in hiding and in disguise.

Sounds like the baby shower went well. And yes, good thinking Margo! Very handy to have a pub in such close proximity! NO mention of bugaboos yet, I notice. I assume that like all west London parents you're getting one?
