Not a bad day today, Isobel's Mom is cheerful... but nervous...

Tomorrow we have exactly one week to go, she's at the doctors in the morning for the final check up and to co-ordinate all the hospital details...

Really at this stage, we just have to get to Saturday, that's when her eldest daughter is off with her dad... then Isobel's Mom doesn't have any more worries - apart from giving birth to Isobel

I was thinking about the long list of stuff we've had to get... clothes, vests, bed sheets, socks, hats, mittens... I didn't know why we'd need mittens - until we were out somewhere and Isobel's Mom pointed out a newborn, whose face was all scratched... apparently they don't know that their nails are sharp

Anyway, then, there was the wardrobe, the cot, the buggy, the pram, the moses basket, the bottles, the steriliser, more clothes... and so on...

We still need nappies and dvds for the video camera... Otherwise, hopefully we're all set...

I've got flowers ordered for Isobel's Mom tomorrow - optimistically, they say 1 Week to go... that will probably jinx it and she'll end up having Isobel tomorrow... I hope not!
