While surfing baby sites a while back I came across Nestle Baby - https://www.nestle-baby.ca/en/register/index. I signed up to get free samples and they sent me a diaper bag (backpack) with changing pad, a small canister of formula, baby on board sign, an instant breakfast packet and a Nestle Baby Newsletter. Sweet! I can totally see myself using the backpack for small jaunts. It's spacious with lots of pockets and not too bulky. Great for a few necessary items.
I also have a flyer here for the Simlac club which also offers free samples and a diaper bag. Why not? If I need to resort to formula why not have a couple different brands to find out what works? I'm sure it's not good to switch often but if she really doesn't like one brand, no harm in trying the other.
I added some new pics of what we've collected so far. I'm excited, leave me alone

Back from our babymoon
Ben and I went to Montreal this weekend to see UFC 83 (which doubled as a baby moon). The trip went great and I was comfortable and feeling great the whole time. It was a bit tight in the arena for 5 hours but me and the baby did good. I think we kept her up too late cause she wasn't too active the next day. As soon as we got to my mom's she woke up and I was relieved she was ok. We picked up a couple pieces of "french" baby clothes to honour Ben's heritage.. Gagou Tagou! Ben loved the baby wetsuit but I really don't see her in a pool this summer... Mom's is often chilly!
Only 10 weeks to go (if she's on time). I can't wait to get Ben moved out of his office and have the nursery ready. Our spare bedroom is full to the brim with baby gear and clothes. Sometimes I go in and sort stuff, I can't wait till she's here.

Another check up - week 29
Well I'm 29.5 weeks and had another check up tonight. No change - everything's great! I go back in 2 weeks.
I've only picked up a couple of clothes items for our baby girl. I can't resist when I go out and see something. Ben's been on about getting girly camoflague for the baby but I haven't found any yet. Instead though, I did find baby girl cargo pants. Ben's always in cargos so I had to get baby a matching pair... well Ben's aren't pink, heh.
The shower invites should be going out soon. Just waiting on the Sears registry cards. It's going to be at Julie's condo - same place as the wedding shower - on Saturday May 24 (after the long weekend). It's co-ed and hope to see everyone there.

Not much to report...
There's not much to report since my last post. I go back to the doc next week on the 15th for another check up and should be getting my last ultrasound the first week in May to check the position and size of the baby.
I'm feeling great, tired from all the chaos in my life (work, school, dog, new car, etc) but that should all be calming down soon. Tonight's my last class and I'm done my program! So glad to have it over with. I won't technically graduate till the fall but all my courses are done. Sprocket's been feeling better the last couple days and letting us sleep - thankfully. We're putting the final touches on getting a new car, just waiting for the seller to do a few things on his end. Hopefully we'll have it in a week or two. I'm so glad we were able to get the money for new wheels. I couldn't imagine hauling a baby around in a old 2 door or being down to 1 vehicle on mat leave. Things seem to have a way to work out for us. Ben's making great progress on the basement with the help of his family, he should be able to move on down in a month or so. I'm determined to have EVERYTHING in place for the baby for the first week of June - nursery painted & set up, car seat installed, etc.
When at Sears yesterday for work I picked up another onesie - "I'm new here", haha so cute.
When I have more baby news I'll be sure to post.
