Setting up the nursery

Susanne and I have been spending the last few months setting up the nursery in preparation for the baby. This has involved sorting through some clothes that we've been giving (in the photo the t-shirt says "I love Daddy" - thanks Naina!). We have a cot (no mattress yet, that is supposed to arrive this week), a change table and lots of other bits and pieces. It is amazing how much paraphernalia is required, just mind boggling!

A task which we still need to carry out in the nursery is to paint it. We think we've finally decided on a colour, that has been incredibly difficult. We never imagined it'd be so difficult!



Susanne's belly is a continually growing thing which seems to have a mind of its own. One of Susanne's favourite games is to play "where's the baby?". i.e., try and spot where the baby's head is at the moment based on where the bulge is located around her belly. Her belly can get really lopsided! The changes around her belly button have been quite funny as well, as you can see in the photo, it is almost poking out. The photo was taken during week 24, 6 weeks ago. It is a lot bigger now!

We're now at week 30, 3 quarters of the way through. It is still kind of hard to come to grips with how our lives will change once the baby is born. Kinda scary, but also very exciting.
