Hail Ceasar

Was it really named after Julius Ceasar? Well, thats what the midwife at Ante-natal classes said. Personally I think its named after the salad...

We watched a video of a lady going through the entire process. I was amazed that I didn't feel queezy and wasn't shocked at the images of the lady being opened up. The gush of amniotic fluid was a bit of a shock, but logical I suppose as her waters hadn't broken. Anyway, probably getting into too much detail so I'll try to get to the point.
The point is that we have now explored in detail most of the options available for birthing. I feel really empowered! Now we have knowledge to make a decision. Its friggin scary tho.
One of the ladies in our class was absolutely adament that she would be going natural. In fact, she didn't even want to entertain the thought of having a c-section...so much so, that she ended up having her baby before the class that dealt with it. Healthy happy and natural birth.

We have finally made some progress with sorting out the baby's room. Its been painted a lovely light blue colour. The compactum arrives (after being remade) this week, and we'll be able to start setting it up on the weekend. Quite a relief. I reckon C is visibly happier with the fact that things are moving fwd.
I think that things like decorating the baby's room and sorting out the house happen so that Dad can get used to lack of sleep and being tired... hehehe

7 weeks to go. Only 7 weeks. I can't wait to meet this little guy that has made my wife look so funny. I am so excited to meet him. This is going to be so cool.

We need to finally decide on a name for him now. I mailed Peas and asked her what she thought... she quoted Time's most popular names in the US for 2007 of which Michael was one. She also gave some good advice:
"One always need to test names out before one signs the birth certificate. Mike Hunt won't work. For example. Neither will Gaylord Focker."
