Shopping Galore
So today, for the first time in a looooong time, the man thing and I went on a bit of a shopping spree. I now have some more summer clothes that I'm not going to melt in!! I have singlets and dresses!! Now all I need is a couple of sarongs to wear as skirts and I'm all set.

Mountaineering and ping pong balls
No I'm not about to go start climbing mountains, but I have been sifting through them. Mountains of baby clothes that is.
The man thing and I went on a little road trip to Auckland Tuesday/Wednesday to meet up with a few people and pick up some stuff for the baby. I got 2 doz flat cloth nappies (Thank you Lisa!!!) and a bag of absolutely pristine clothes from a friend (Thanks Steph!!!) but the biggest suprise came when the father-in-law gave us 2 boxes AND a black sack full of baby clothes. I was stunned. So, yesterday afternoon when we got home I started pulling it all out and sorting it into sizes/age ranges and *jaw drop* I don't think I'm going to have to buy anything for the next 2 years!!!
Currently on my coffee table I have a rather large stack of NB/0-3 month clothes. Mostly bodysuits and AIOs. The stack is a foot high!!! There's a smaller pile beside it of more wintery AIOs which I think will be a little too heavy for my Due-In-March baby.
We also had our first Antenatal Class last night. Gosh, it was fun. I was a bit nervous, ya know, meeting all these new people and stuff but it was pretty cool. I did my usual hang-around-in-the-background kind of thing but I did participate a little.
The man thing had no qualms about jumping in. He volunteered to wear the 7kg fat suit LOL. It was quite cute. I think the reason he did it was because they said he could try the entonox when we go for a spin through the delivery suite. Yeah, like he's never had that before *wink*
One of the most entertaining parts of the class was when we had to put ping pong balls into balloons (sounds really weird right?) then blow the balloons up a little. It was to simulate the uterus and how it works with the contractions, and also how Braxton Hicks contractions are different from Labour contractions.
Apart from that (which I thought was pretty cool, especially when we started shooting ping pong balls all around the room) I didn't actually learn anything that I didn't already know, either from reading pregnancy books, or the Internet.
Let's see how much I learn from these classes...
(Note to self: Use spell check... Mountain is NOT spelled mountian *facepalm*)
