Pregnant Elf - 33 weeks



Yeah, I know...it's a little early for Christmas! This photo is from a retail promotion called Shine on Palmy that I created to get the CBD retailers to do a bit of joint promotion, and make our city a bit more festive around the holidays. City Council Elves and the mayor (he's the one in the red tie) went around visiting shops delivering scrolls and gifts of white lights to the shops. Community voting will occur for the best window, and the shops can win thousands of dollars. I've got the radio and newspapers also involved. I was so exhausted after the promotion launch - walking around town delivering boxes really wore me out!

Last Monday our anetnatal class did the hospital tour. It was alright - was good to see where it was all going to happen. It was a bit crazy b/c a women from our class was actually IN labour as we were doing the tour...she's about 1 month ahead of the rest of us. The strangest thing about the whole hospital visit was thinking that the next time we pull out of the hospital there will be a little one in the backseat with us! Well....at least we thought so.

We made an unexpected visit to the hospital tonight (Saturday). I've been having these really bad pains today, so James made the call to go to the ER. We were immediatly wisked to L & D and hooked up to machines and stuff. Good news is that all is well and they think it was just Braxton Hicks (fake contractions that the uterus does to prepare itself for the real day). Baby's heartbeat is healthy and it looks like all is okay. At least we got to make a practice dash to the hospital. James wants to time out all the different driving routes!

Not only is baby okay, but we even made it out of the hospital in time for the our opening night theatre tickets that we had. We'd like our little boy to arrive early...but not this early. We still got 7 more weeks to go (where is the time going?!)
