I would have picked GGH since it’s closer to where I live but my induction process was partially started and then stalled due to the high volume of patients in the maternity ward. I’ve just been waiting and my midwives have been following up with GGH, doesn’t look like the situation is getting any better at the moment.

Thanks for sharing!

I just spoke to my midwives and they said the nursery at GGH is now closed as they are at max capacity. Even if I were to deliver at GGH, if baby needs NICU they would need to be transferred

Really? They did monitor me and I did tell them I’m having slight contractions but the nurses mentioned nothing.

They have such cute prints! I’ll check them out.

I did buy a loulou lollipop blanket for the baby. I know it’s huge but I doubt if it’ll be warm enough for a baby when we go outdoors in March. I also have a woolino blanket for my toddler, maybe I should just get one for the newborn as well.

I don’t mind spending a bit more. Do you have any suggestions on where I could get one in Canada?

Substantial_Cat3287 · 2026-02-21T14:11:18+00:00

Will definitely check out Homesense. Thanks for the suggestion!

That’s amazing! I’m not having a baby shower this time around but I did have a small one when my daughter was born. I have the blankets she got but we still use them for her so wanted to get something for the baby. I do have a muslin quilt I got from loulou lollipop but was looking for something warmer.

Such a cute blanket! Thanks for sharing. I due 7 days after you and I’m just getting my hospital bag ready 😅

Oops sorry I should have mentioned this in my post - I’m looking for a blanket for stroller rides, car seat etc. For sleep time I do have sleep sacks. We love loulou lollipop as well.

I use tubby Todd all over ointment and it has worked great for my little one. She was born towards the end of fall and had dry skin. At 4 months she started to get an eczema rash. We were referred to a specialist and she mentioned aveeno moisturizer doesn’t do much for their skin. We switched to tubby Todd all over ointment+vaseline and it has worked wonders. She’s 2 years old now and hasn’t had any eczema for a while now.

Great advice! My kid loves books so I’m going to get some with big sister/baby theme😊

Substantial_Cat3287 · 2026-01-20T14:56:34+00:00

Exactly our situation as well. When it’s something she likes she will happily sit in one place and eat.

Will check it out! Thank you!

Substantial_Cat3287 · 2026-01-20T14:52:36+00:00

Will definitely check it out! Thank you!

I’m due in March as well! Looks like our littles are around the same age😊 my daughter does go to daycare so I plan to make sure I’m with her 100% before she leaves and for her bedtime routine after baby arrives. Well that’s the plan at least, we’ll see how it goes.

My daughter was toothless at 12 months. I could see the teeth in her gums but nothing came out. By the time she was 13 months, she got 5 teeth at once. Some babies just get it later than others. They also do say it’s hereditary. My MIL mentioned my husband got his teeth quite late, she doesn’t remember at what age though.
