I'm going to be putting together my birth bag soon, which comes along with me to the hospital. We went for our hospital tour a little while ago, and I have to say that the birthing rooms there are amazing! They have 28 of them now. They're pretty big; they have a bench for one of your support people to sleep, and they have a big bathroom with an air-jet tub and a shower!
It makes me pretty happy to know that I get to take advantage of this (the birthing rooms have only been available for about 4 years).
On a side note, my close friend Amy came over the other day. She's getting married in Jamaica on October 10, and she'll be there for about 2 weeks, which happen to fall over the baby showers. So she brought over some gifts! She gave us a cute little rabbit toy, a fleece sleeper-bag thing (no legs - bag at the bottom) some adorable socks with skull and crossbones on them (hehe) and a beautiful bag (not sure what else to call it) that fastens to the car seat.
I had originally scanned the bag in grey, but Amy managed to find one in teal, which goes with the car seat beautifully!
Another great thing was that she gave us some tips on how to fasten the baby in properly (i.e., where all the buckles and clips are meant to fit in relation to the baby's body.
So in order to get the bag on the seat, Ryan and I spent some time familiarizing ourselves with the car seat, which I'm extremely happy we did. It's really not difficult to take everything apart.
The one downside about the car seat that we've discovered is that you're not really supposed to wash the seat cover in a machine with an agitator, which we have. So at some point I'll make my way to my mom's house to do a small load of laundry in her front-loader. After the first wash, I'll probably do mostly spot cleaning. Plus with the car seat bag from Amy, if the baby makes a mess, we can just take out the bag and wash it instead. Easy!
That's it for this post :)
