I had my first baby oriented shopping spree today. Unless you count last night when Marty and I registered at Toys R Us, which is sort of a shopping spree, but you don’t have to spend any money. Actually, that’s the best sort of spree isn’t it?

Shopping spree
Tanya - The Midwife
We met our midwife on Thursday. Her name is Tanya. We were a little taken back when we met her. When most people think midwife, they think super granola, mother earth sort of look. Tanya was wearing dress pants, nice sweater and heels, and has a thick Russian accent. But looks can be very deceiving, as usual. She’s a real sweat and lovely person and we are very happy to have her as our midwife. She’s been a midwife since 1987, so I didn’t even need to ask how many babies she has birthed. She just moved to
So we now see her every two weeks until week 36, and then every week until the big day. We will be birthing at the Montfort now, which is great as it is 5 minutes away by car. Which means that if I am comfortable, I will be able to labour at home as long as possible. In the delivery room there will be Tanya, her secondary midwife and probably a student as they are a teaching group. We are also allowed to have whom ever else we want in the room, but Marty and I decided that it will be just the two of us. No one else needs to hear my potty mouth, which I am sure is going to be very blue!

Belly Watch Episode 4 Week 28, er...29.
...and a warning to all those that believe our child will wear any hockey paraphenelia other than the glorious blue and white of the Leafs, you are sadly mistaken. You may think it funny that to give a gift of PJ's emblazoned with the Canadiens logo, but it's not. Take comfort in the fact that our child (and your nephew, Matt), will have some luxurious baby wipes for his first few days on earth.

Exciting news
I’ll be sure to post after we meet the midwife to let you know how it goes. Though I’ve been told by Marty that I’m a little too wordy in my posts. I will try to be more to the point, but I am a Barlow, so I don’t know how that is going to work out.
