ALL THINGS BABY WOODWOODS

With less than one week until Baby WoodWoods due date the countdown is definitely on.

The bag is packed, the camera is charged - we are all ready..... now it's just up to Baby WoodWoods to decide when she wants to make her grand appearance. Just the start to the control she will have over our lives from here on out.

Darren is fully prepared for his role in the labor and delivery room. Our McMoyler Method birthing classes have us feeling as prepared as we possibly could. I almost didn't need to be there, the classes heavily focused on the important role that the partner plays during and after the birth.

Here is Darren demonstrating different positions for birth....


And of course what better way to see the benefits of swaddling than to wrap up a full size Dazza. We have adopted this method at home whenever Darren pulls a tantrum. (This along with a pacifier usually does the trick).


We were both spoilt by our employer's who put on great Baby Shower's for us.

The fantastic girls at Video Egg threw my colleague Kate and I a fun filled night with the gals. Cocktails - the tipsy kind and not so tipsy version along with cupcakes, fun and giggles provided a base for a great night. We were so spoilt and Baby WoodWoods is going to look mighty cute is some of the gorgeous outfits.





Not to be left out Darren was also provided a baby shower by his colleagues. Some great gifts and vouchers have us fully stocked up with the necessities we require.

All that is left is to get our little American set up with Australian Citzenship and a Passport, we will then be ready to fly our baby girl home in early 2009.

It is yet to be seen if Baby WoodWoods will be sharing a birthday with her Grandpa Wood (8th), Granny Woods (12th) or maybe her Uncle Matty (21st)...Here's hoping she doesn't choose the last option.

Whatever date she chooses we are ready and could not be more excited....Whatever I scream to the contrary half way through labor is not to be held against me.

We can't wait to meet you our Baby WoodWoods.
