Be Prepared

Our scare last week has put the frighteners on us a bit. It's made us realise that in pregnancy you should expect the unexpected. Graeme admitted to me it had crossed his mind that, had something gone wrong as a result of my fall, we may well have welcomed our son into the world that very day, totally unprepared for my admission to hospital. After a chat, we decided that it's high time I started putting my hospital bag together.

So, yesterday, armed with a rather scary-looking list and some Boots vouchers, I went shopping to stock up on supplies. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be buying disposable knickers, but I now have 2 boxes. It was a surprisingly successful trip and I managed to get most of the things on my list. I did take longer than expected as I had no idea that there were so many varieties of breast pads and nipple cream and I spent a great deal of time just staring at the shelves in an abject state of confusion. One thing I have definitely learned so far is that expectant mums are spoilt for choice!
