DBL posted.. sorry if it's not allowed.
Well sir.. hard to believe we've come this far together little one, but it's true.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I've been very lucky throughout the whole pregnancy, symptoms wise. Baby's been active and healthy all the while, and we were even able to find out the sex (98% sure anyways) at 20 weeks. So we've got a tonne of baby clothes already (all washed and folded), and a highchair, a playpen, my BFF is lending us her son's bassinet, and I picked up a breastpump yesterday (manual), I bought 1 nursing bra.... but that is all I've got/done!
I feel completely unprepared (but am not overly worried) and the fact that I'm so calm about it, mildly stresses me (make sense?!) I mean we're just at the 31 week mark, we're moving into a new home in 2 days with only furniture that's been given/lent to us, I have plans to have a birth plan but have not written it up yet, plans to have professional belly photos taken but have not planned a date.. the only thing certain is the baby shower and I can't wait for it (3 weeks away!)
I'll find out the results of my TRUTOL test tomorrow afternoon at our appointment with Dr. Poirier (she's great but I've only met her once) & I really hope all is well.. we'll also find out wether I need the Rhogam shot or not.. depending on Hubby's Rh factor.
-What do I pack in my hospital bag?
-How can I decorate my tinytiny little baby nursery so that it looks larger and still have storage?
-Why am I so anxious to get everything ready when the shower is still 3 weeks away, and baby is 9?
-Anybody else giving birth in the ward rather than semi/private room?
-How do I sterilize my breast pump since I bought it second hand? ($3.00 for a Medela Lactina.. you can't say no to that!)
I know it's been a long time since I've uploaded belly photos (last was at 23 weeks) so I'll add a few now.

Just an update with a minor freak-out factor. If anybody has any ideas on how I can busy myself making baby room items or anything at all please let me know, I think I have too much time on my hands!
