Its the Final Countdown...

The countdown is ON! Today we are 39 weeks+1 = only 6 days to go, and what a busy next few days I have planned...Is it my way of nesting?

Last night we had our last antenatal class - yes I amanged it! It was a breastfeeding class and very informative. As petrified of it as I am i think Im ready for it now. I think Gerhard will be ready too, just this morning he said he cannot wait to hold and play with the baby..I did tell him that newborns just sleep eat and poop and he said he just wants to be able to hold him for a little while..and then he promptly started welling up *awwwww*

As we left the antenatal class we were being given the 'once-over' look from all the men and women there as they know Im ready to pop at anytime. We hope on making it to the dinner next week (yes on my due date) but we all know that it may not happen for me. But personally Im sure I will make it.

My Mom came back from Switzerland last night after being away for 3 weeks and Im SOOO relieved!! Yeay! Someone to help me out around here :) She brought back lots of choccie mmm and alot of people have sent little gifts for Baby G as well which is so sweet.

Today I have a midwife appointment at 11:30 and then Im going to relax a bit and prep for tonight as we have invited some friends over for a meal - a couple we met at the Hospital tour and again at antenatal class. They have been so kind and offered us lifts to some of the classes and even bless them for when we have to go home from the hospital with the baby. So we thought we would have them over for a loverly meal :)

Tomorrow we up and early again, this time into..AMSTERDAM City! Im rather scared as no 39 weeks pregnant lady should venture so far out, but with Gerhard around Im sure we will be fine. We are going to meet up with an old high school friend of Gerhards who IS Dutch and from SA but here for a visit. So should be fun :)

Well Im off to start baking the cake for tonight...
