31 days left....

My heels are cracked but I still do not waddle like a duck! WAHOO!
I've yet to book a new appointment or visit the Neuvola (maternity public health) to get a proper phone number. That's on Tuesday's agenda.
I got a tonne of baby stuff (except clothing, diaper bags etc) - but am slowly getting prepared for the baby.
I honestly forget I'm pregnant all the time (does this happen to anybody else?!) and am probably pushing myself to the extreme too much. For example - I barely had 7 hours of sleep last night and managed to power walk to the bank and back downtown to meet the Finnish/Italian guy (read other blog about him) and get a stroller that I power walked back home. It sort of hit home that I was pregnant as I was walking home with the stroller, empty. To make it feel a little more real (I suppose) - I put my back pack in the seated area. The weird looks I got as people were driving to work....ah well.
Then I met the lady who sold me a car seat and a baby blanket covered in teddy bears - very exciting. She had firey red hair and a beautiful black bow - it was nice. LOL.
I managed to sneak in a nap between the F/I guy and the red head - for about an hour. My thighs felt like they were melting because of the power walk.
I got lost trying to find the home of the diaper lady....got hit on by a drunk...and managed to get some groceries on the way back. I finally chickened out by the duck pond (they removed the benches!) and called Tim to meet me as I continued my trek home. The diapers and liners alone in one bag weighed a little under 4kg I think...and then I had 4.5 litres (milk, juice and iced tea) in my back pack and some more groceries in my other hand...it was rough.

Oh and I broke out in a rash on my thighs - bumpy red bits and then eventually flared up even more with body butter lotion (going to get some non-scented/oatmeal based stuff tomorrow) and broke out into hives/swollen cat scratches (that's what they looked like anyways)....finally the itching is gone.

Got some great photos at the duck pond however and am about to hit the sack.

One more thing - reindeer meat isn't that bad!! It's quite tender and very tasty.
alright - I'm done.
