normally I’m delighted with hot weather, but this past week has made me decide that if there is going to be a baby #2, it will certainly be born in the winter instead of the hottest part of the summer. hot hot hot. and some unpleasant preggo complaints, like swollen fingers and a sore back, are starting to catch up with me in the past few weeks. I’ve been very lucky overall, so I’m trying not to get too bent out of shape, but I’m looking forward to having baby in my arms instead of inside my bump.

no big updates on the job/moving front yet either. Tom is back from his interview and we are waiting for the official offer. While we wait we are checking house prices and tax calculators and making budgets, trying to work out just how much it will cost to live in Vancouver. it looks like it will be expensive, but just how expensive is impossible to tell from here.

the countdown is now at 3.5 weeks to go. I’ve packed a bag for the hospital, just in case. the birthing pool arrived in the mail today. we’re starting to receive gifts in the mail too, which is so exciting. tiny little baby hats! so adorable! we’ve been going to childbirth preparation classes, both from the hospital and the homebirth perspectives. at least with this heat it was not hard to imagine panting like a hot dog during the breathing exercises. pant pant pant woof.
