Yes! You can come work for me! Perfect!!!!  Thanks for the reminder about h20....just downed a glass in your honor. Cat would be so proud of us. And my pooch goes to doggie daycare too! 2x a week she gets to go play with her friends and gets a report card. Yesterday her report card said "Today Ginger played referee to several wrestling matches and also founded the curly-haired dogs club!" Sometimes they report card talks about her "boyfriend" Luther and how they take naps together! Teeheee.

MM - I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one that isn't going crazy over food right now.
 And, yes, my belly if definitely very round now...a little smaller in the mornings than when I go to bed at night. But, I feel like it's getting bigger all the time! haha And thanks for the info on the u/s.

Robin-
I just checked out your registry! You've done a great job!!! Mine is still a work in progress. I noticed you have a different diaper denie. I registerd for the diaper genie 2. I want to make sure we have the right one. The verdict is still out on the Diaper Genie 2 in general for me. Its 50/50 from my friends. Most actually say they're gross. Anyone else have any recommendations? Ive been reading about the Diaper Dakor as well. Another friend says the Diaper Champ. WHy is a diaper bin stressing me out?

Thank you, havana!!! oh, no! back to the registry... hehe... at the store where i was registering, everyone was scanning the twistaway kind, i just followed their lead... i'll have to read reviews on other kinds too... you can use regular garbage bags with the Diaper Champ and the opening (through which you put diapers) appears to be larger!

Maybebaby - holy cow! I'm SO sorry you had such a horrible experience. And, I cannot believe they wouldn't let your dh in the room! I don't see how in the world they can justify that rule, after all...its HIS baby too! Unbelievable! I am however, glad to hear that he/she
is doing well and growing and that you were able to see the progress! It sounds like you and poor Peachy have just had bad luck with these dumb techs. They really should be fired!Robin - I'd love to see your registry too if you don't mind! DH & I are registering online tonight and the whole thing continues to just stress me out! I bet its such a good feeling to know that its done! My belly is the same way...some days and some times of day its bigger and then other days it seems smaller. Its always really hard and big at the end of the day after I've had dinner. Those are the moments where I wonder if my skin could possibly stretch any more! Let me know if any of you want me to PM you the link to my blog so that you can see how big I'm getting (I keep all of my pictures updated on there). I'm going to post a new belly shot on there in the next few days because I've REALLY grown in the past 2 weeks. Havana/Peachy - have a blast tonight!!! I am definitely liking food again, but can't go near any type of Asain cuisine...Japanese, Chinese, Thai...they all make me want to get sick. But, pizza (Nathalie - your lunch sounds awesome) and McD's have definitely been my friends lately!! MM - I need some cute ideas on where to get newborn winter outfits! I have TONS of pj's and onesies and plenty of clothes for the girls next summer, but I want to get them some cute outfits for when they come home from the hospital. Our furniture is being delivered tonight! I still feel weird that its coming so early, but we either had to take it now, or wait for the next shipment in late November because there was another couple who wanted this set and it was the last one in stock. So, since my babies will more than likely be here in late November we decided to go ahead and get it. I'm a little weirded out by it, but also very excited. I'll have to let you know how I like it after its all set up tonight! I miss Cat today!

Hi! I haven't been on here in forever but was invited back. I read through some of the last few posts and the conversation was so fun, I figured, why not. We finished our registries since we have our first shower in 2 weeks! That's the last date I can travel very far. We did a lot online since you can review people's comments as you go. That helped. I've gained 24 pounds, but the doctors say I'm right on track. It is all totally my belly. I can't imagine going 4 more months. I might just explode any second. The babies kick all the time now. That is the most exciting thing EVER! That catches me up I think. Here's a question for you... Are you guys taking a lot of hand-me-downs or buying it new?
Tiffany

MM- Oooooooooooooooo...how adorable that Ginger gets a report card!! I love it. And she has a boyfriend "Luther" to boot. Hilarious!! Can you tell that I am a little nutty about animals? Now go and drink another glass of water.
Joy- I did order the pizza (took 35 mins, argghhh!). It was divine. Cannot wait to see a pic of your furniture when you guys have it all set up. I pm'd you. Have a great rest of the day girl's. I have my "book club" meeting later this afternoon. It is actually a wine/socializing (when I used to drink) club. Tonight we are going to the State Fair. One of the women in our group is the Director of it so we get a behind the scenes look at it. Me, I am just thinking about all that festival food. mmmmm...... See you tomorrow! Nathalie

Maybebaby - I just went back to see the pics! So cute... no obvious anatomy though. Hmm. We need a butt shot on the next go around
Nathalie - I ordered Pizza Hut on Sunday and am about to eat the last of the leftovers. Yummm. Something about their greasy pan pizza has just been appealing to me. I promise no sushi tonight. I was already bad on Monday and ate a little. Robin - Help Havana out with this whole diaper thing. We've been comparing registries of everyone we know in the Atlanta metropolitan area! I guess we'll do a thorough inspection tonight and see how many moms we can interview. Havana - BabiesRUs just called to reconfirm. We're officially on! No word about your car seat yet. Just talked to another Britax mom that loves hers. MM - I guess we'll all have tummies full of fried rice tonight! Sorry you're losing your office buddy though. I think we would all volunteer to work for you... we could have our own knitting group and shop all day! Joy - your registry is going to be gigantic! I can understand why it's so hard when you'll need 3 of lots of things. I am still laughing out your Janie & Jack story from the other day. Have fun with your furniture tonight. I think it's exciting. PM me your blog... I have to see these belly pics! I wish I had my dog's life too! He has a girlfriend at daycare also - Porsche a very cute boxer I must say! Good taste. If she's there, he just stares at her from the car window when we're leaving. So funny. He goes to one for big dogs only so they just run around like crazy all day. There's another place here in town that he goes to on occasion with a webcam. It's hysterical. They even have a pool for the dogs. But, it's a little further from our house and they don't get as many big dogs. He loves other boxers and seems to miss our older one. And, he is so cuddly when he's all tired afterwards
