So I'm going to waffle on about my hospital 'look'. Yes, it's a pretty amusing oxymoron, as I actually plan to give birth in a pool and thus shall be naked for majority of my time at St Mary's, but when I do get dressed (and if I haven't succumbed to an epidural/c-section and will therefore be wearing a buttock-exposing gown) I hope to wear this nice, soft Topshop night shirt and my very comfy Celtic Sheepskin slippers. I think it's a good look. I will buy a pair of soft grey leggings in case it gets chilly in there, but if I remember correctly from visiting other new Mums, maternity wards are a notoriously warm place to hang out.
I've put the night shirt in the baby of baby bits of bobs (read: clothes) that I've accumulated over the past month or so. It sounds like I have lots, but really, it's just the snow suit, and a couple of pieces I've been given. All need washing so I'll start that lovely chore once work is in my wake (3 weeks, and c-c-c-c-ounting!)
I had a good yoga class last night. One of the ex-attendees arrived at the end with her new daughter Deja. The baby was absolutely gorgeous and the mother extremely interesting. She actually had a water birth at home and felt that the whole thing was much more comforting and relaxing than being in a hospital. I could never do an at-home birth, I'm far too much of a worrier (and cleanliness freak) to deal with all of that, but I liked hearing her story. Things are beginning to feel very real on the birth/baby front. I'm not going to be pregnant forever, there is a baby at the end of the tunnel, and I can't wait to meet it!
I spotted that same nightie and wondered whether to buy it or not! There are matching trousers too.... LU xx
