At my weekly checkup on Monday, I finally tipped the scales at 150 pounds. So far, I’ve gained 27 pounds since my first doctor’s appointment. Not too much, not too little. I think baby’s growth is slowing down though because I find myself less hungry (especially in the middle of the night).

Free Baby Resources
In the course of preparing for baby’s arrival, I’ve come across some great resources for new moms and dads that I thought I would share – especially for people who live in the Vancouver area (although I think that most, if not all, of these resources are available Canada-wide). Most of them were either recommended to me, or I found them myself. [Note: I am not affiliated with any of these companies, nor am I being compensated for mentioning them here. I’m simply passing along the good stuff I’ve found. I must also mention that we are part of the Amazon Affiliates program. That means if you choose to buy a book through our links, we will receive a bit of commission – so we promise to be honest about our reviews and let you know what we found helpful.]

And I feel like I’m going to crumple over unless I hold onto something and try to shift my weight somehow.

A date of significance
Five years ago today, a certain young man invited a certain young woman into the adventure of courtship. Five years ago today, the young woman said yes to that invitation. Now, 5 years later, they are one month away from the due date of their first baby! Needless to say, their adventure has only begun. ;)

It’s coming together
With 6 weeks to go until the official due date, things are certainly coming together. We’re pretty much finished clearing out everything we don’t need or want and down to reorganizing baby’s room. This afternoon, we went stroller and crib mattress shopping. These were the last two “big” items we needed to get.
