But this weekend on his way home Brian picked up one of the final items for me.... it was the ONE reason for me to travel to this bigger city... this ONE item....
A sleeping nursing bra!!
I really wanted to get one to labor in under the hospital gown. And then to use for support since we'll be nursing every night for the next few months;)
My BRAVE husband walked into a maternity store with three tired kids and a small note I had made to help him and the clerk make a decision about what size I needed. He said he glanced at the note BEFORE he went in :) In the note was two bras I own.... the size and their brands. One brand being another maternity/nursing bra and then the other being my favorite brand called Barely There......
So my sweet husband reads through the note and is determined that he shouldn't pull out the note with the clerk there because he doesn't want to know that one of the bras "barely fits" his wife (he didn't realize that was the BRAND and NOT how it fit)!!! LOL!!!!!
He did finally pull out the note and call me! And I did get the bra I had been hoping for and I can finally put it into the bag (or wear it to the hospital!!!)
The LAST item was a DVD.... yes, my husband is a movie buff but don't usually buy DVDS. We DID recently purchased one of our FAVORITE movies, Pride and Prejudice. And now it's packed to watch during that 24 hours after Nate is born and before we are sent home!!! We'll see how much we get to see.... but it's something we both can look forward to....LOL.... just thinking... maybe as I'm laboring I can focus on how "comfortable" I'll be after labor holding my baby watching one of my favorite movies....
sounds like a delightful hospital stay doesn't it.... after labor, of course;)
For those interested: I had a regular maternity checkup Wednesday!! Nothing new except I am measuring 41 now and I hadn't gained ANY weight!!!! My midwife didn't try to guess his weight today.... it sounds like at our next appointment we will see if my body getting ready for labor and make a "plan"......
Honestly, I'd rather just see my midwife at the hospital this weekend:)

I LOVE that movie...that version specifically! Hope you get to watch it! :)
Awesome, that's exciting. We're working on our bags. :) I'm now washing the baby clothes. I need to make a trip to Walmart to get some extra toiletries. I like packing a couple of good books and I also back a small cd player with good soft music. I LOVE Celine Dion's cd "Miracle." It is beautiful!!!! You should google it.
Well I'll be thinking about you this week. :) I hope everything goes well. Our little ones may end up sharing a birthday.
I can't wait for you - getting very excited. And can I admit something to you - I've never seen that movie or read the book!
I'm so glad your appointment went well. Did Lydia do ok at hers too?
I'm LOL about the bra story. Your husband is brave to go and get you a bra, how funny!
Love Pride and Prejudice! My all time favorite book/movie! I love the version you bought the best! What a neat idea to have something like that to relax and watch for the firt 24 hours! I can't wait to hear about baby Nate's arrival!
