Well i am going to see if I can find a weekly check list so we can have something to go off of... I think that would be most helpful... I just asked for the reg stroller... i just needed something easy and simple that i could use when we go places. I have a tahoe so size didnt matter because there so much room... Kust 1.5 hrs left... I am so exicted... Ekay i wish u had a myspace... Its so much fun looking at the other august moms pages and pictures....

As far as dh goes, when I first started reading the forums, someone posted that it stood for darling husband, but I like softbreeze's idea of depending on our moods.......lol. I have actually gotten my love for cooking back. It left almost as soon as I got pregnant, and the smell of food cooking turned my stomach. I swear I have been Betty Crocker these past few days. I have been doing some serious cooking. Baked chicken, beans in the crockpot, cornbread, homemade mac n chz, oh, and corn on the cob. yummm...... I have even made a list of food that I want for next week, so I will know what to buy this weekend. I'm sad, I know.

Oh yeah, we have narrowed our names down as well. For a boy, we are loving Jaxon Keith. And if we have a girl, she will be either Trinity Gracyn or Malia Glory. SIDE NOTE**** I've never seen the Matrix, so I refuse to give that movie any credit for me choosing the name Trinity...LOL Everyone has been asking me that, so I just thought I would throw that out there....lol. I also told dh that I reserve that right to change either name the day I give birth depending on whether or not I think the name suits our baby. He's hesitant, but does acknowledge that I will be doing the work and all in order to get the baby here. Do you think I'm being selfish?..lol

heck no hopeful... I always claim that Im doing alot so he can have some joy...LOL. i have never seen matrix either and i love trinity but in nashville there is a trinity lane and its very hood so i desided to opt out of that one... so i jsut looked at a friend of mines registry for babies r us and the burp clothes were 25 bucks... i was like no way... i may need to take a visit to babies r us and also a reality check... i hate to register ( but deep down love it) i just hate to ask people to buy our baby stuff... idk it just seems like she regitered for a ton of usless c___p...LOL

25 bucks for burp cloths seems pricey!!! Maybe I am too used to Walmart. How many come in the pack?? I agree about the whole registry thing. I don't think I am going to do a registry. I am going to let everyone pick what they want to buy. I'll be good for suggestions, but I don't want everyone to feel obligated. Also, I feel that it is our place to buy the big stuff, because I may not like what others like...blah, blah, blah. I don't know. I am new to this, and I am afraid that everyone will think I am holding my hand out if I tell them what to buy. Anyway, I am in no way condemning registries or trying to say they are bad. Please don't think I am preaching, and I am not trying to step on toes. Besides, I am not expecting a very big shower, so a registry would probably be a waste of my time.

Hey again ladies. Speaking of strollers. I seriously could use some suggestions! I have a BOB single stroller for jogging which I LOVE, so I'll just move up to their double...but I have NO clue about a double every day stroller. I'm even affraid to start looking since I know there are soo many out there! Plus, I'm picky on design, it has to be cute as well as functional! Oh, and names...for a girl its Alyssa for sure. My hubby had decided on that name a loong time ago. If its a boy, we are more undecided. We are deciding between Judson (which I love but hubby doesn't) Jarrett, Colton, Grady, or I really like the name Leif too. We'll see...I find out the s_x in 2 weeks! Yay!

We have 7 acres and they love to ride 4wheelers and there trucks and get them muddy so now they have to clean it up...im so mean... haha.. and I may go to the baby store and look around saturday but thats about it for me...

Happy 17 weeks to the babies that....are....17 weeks today. Yeah. Anyways, ya'll are making me grin about the stroller issue. Gabby-you could be a spokeperson you know so much! Maybe it's just me and because it's my fourth, but I'm like "well, I guess I could start hording diapers". Strollers and clothes and registry are SO far from my mind. I didn't have a shower with my 3rd, but one of my friends is insisting on throwing me a shower for this one. I'm not gonna stop her. MommaM, I have a girl vibe for you. I don't know why. I couldn't fall asleep til after midnight. I watched American Ganster (good flick, good actors) and again, I really really think I was feeling taps and bumps. It was either movement or very forceful gas. So I stayed up to keep feeling and now I am super tired. I don't even remember the days of doing whatever I wanted on the weekends! It's a science at my house. Saturday morning I make the kids breakfast (something other than the usual cereal), then I clean the kitchen, living room and bathrooms while they clean (or play, rather) in their rooms, then if there is time, we go to the park before nap. If not time, then we go after nap. I don't know why I clean because literally within 2 hours, it's back to the way it was. Then I take the older 2 to my mom's house that evening to spend the night because they go to church with them on Sunday. Then on Sunday morning before the older 2 get out of church, me and the little one go grocery shopping. And daddy works the whole time, which b__ws. I am kinda excited this weekend though because all 3 of them are going to my sister's so we can go to a wedding. And I got the cutest dress (that hubby doesn't know about) from Motherhood Maternity. It will probably only fit for another month, but I'll just sell it on ebay, unless some of you are skinny little things and I'd send it to one of you! I say skinny because it's a medium and while it fits my belly now, once I really start to grow, it won't fit. Someone thinner could wear it their whole pregnancy! Anyways, I have no desire to write this report that is staring at me on my desk. I am getting a pedicure today though. It has been ages since I got one of those. I rambled on this post. Sorry.

Amazing!! have fun at the wedding - gotta love having a new dress!! I am curling in a fun bonspeil this weekend with some friends so it should be fun! Although this is usually a weekend that is reserved for tieing a big one on and having a huge hangover after, but I guess I can be the DD!! Mind you I will get first dibs on all the juice and excel I can drink!! lol! Dad is over at my house as we speak painting baby's room for me.. I cant wait to see it. And I think we are going to attempt to put down the laminate tommarow! Yikes!! I too think it may be time to just suck it up and go and get some maternoty type stuff. Maybe that way I will look a little more pregnant instaed of just flufffy!! I will catch up with you ladies this weekend sometime. Gabby looking forward to you r update!! Have a great friday ladies!!
