MM, thanks again. Yes, now I know who to ask anything. Especially that cloth diapers - I was thinking of using them most of time also, because I think they are much firmer and holds legs in good position for right joint growth, but I didnt read anything yet about it anywhere, so I dont know if there is another reason why to use them or if is that only in my head or what. Why you want to use cloth dippers??? Sorry if I am asking something what somebody else already did ask and I did miss it.
......and when you will write that book, I will illustrated for you..... ....so nice pictures of your nieces and nephew..... Hi Vanessa & Tripp!! Joy, I should get wagon like that, but I am worry that if my boy will be after me, he will wants real one with motor in! You need it for your girls for sure!!! Peachy, I should go I guess for some classes like you, but I cant imagine to be driving all the time so far, maybe I will have to start research more on internet.... Boston, Thanks!!! I have to say, we were week shopping today for food and there is small section for kids, I was not planing to get anything, just only wanted to look...... and DH was looking too, I told him to look for something with long sleeves (for winter)and he got back with this ski jacket with hud for 5 year old child. I started to laugh and did say it is too big and he did say: ..."well, it will be winter, we have to get him somehow back home from hospital, it can be maybe somehow folded and it will be good for many years to come..."......I was laughing so hard, that I almost pee myself again........It is going to be disaster here!!!! hahahahaha Nathalie, I got there first blue soft soft soft blanket......

Hi Ladies!
Sorry to post so late, my DH is off on Fridays and was hogging both computers all morning! We're driving to my moms house about 2 1/2 hours away in a little while so I can pick up some awesome maternity clothes a friend left for me. Soe excited! Mom says she left me an entire new wardrobe. Her husband flew her to NYC when she got prego to shop and she hardly wore any of it. Fun, huh?? Peach and I had a great time at the Babies R Us class last night, and like she said watch out for the class to be taught by an instructor or a video. They gave us a couple of free samples at the end too. DH was disappointed in the leftovers that I brought home from the Japanese Steak House. What does he expect from a pregnant lady? I housed all that food! YUM! MM-Your Neice and Nephew are gorgeous! I bet it runs in the family.  Arent you leaving for Hawaii like tomorrow?? AHH I am SO jealous! Drink a mocktail for me!!! Boston-My ligament pains are horrific! Whats the deal? It started hurting yesterday, but this is crazy! Did it hurt like the entire underneath of your belly? I had the sharp pains a few weeks ago, but this is more like soreness. Like I did 5 million sit ups. (?) Anyone? Joy-I PM'd you as well. I dont want to be left out of the "blog". I cant wait to see it! Oh and I love the choo choo train! SO cute!!! Its perfect for the girls! Robin-I have also registered for both newborn giftsets of Dr. Browns and Avent. I heard great things about both. Only that Dr. Browns' may be hard to clean. Mirka-Glad that you didnt get rained on! Also, glad thta your little potato is doing well and is active and healthy!! Vilinscot-Great to see you! Glad that you are doing well! I gave a few pointers a few pages back for the registry. BRU can be very overwhelming. Take it in strides, and add to it in your spare time on your computer!! Hi to everyone else! Have a great weekend!!

Hi Mirka, I love seeing you on here!!! We have all really missed you! I'm going to try to use cloth diapers because they are better for the environment and because they are just more natural for the baby. I like the idea of just cloth, no plastic next to baby Reid's skin. Apparently cloth diaper babies potty train easier and quicker and also get fewer diaper rashes. I have read a lot and asked around about what types of cloth diapers work the best and there are lots of opinions! So far I've heard that Fuzzibuns are great.Fuzzi Bunz - THE Pocket Diaper I've also heard that bumGenius are even better! bumGenius cloth diapers by Cotton Babies So I think the best thing to do is try some of each and see what you personally like! You can check out this forum which is dedicated to cloth diapering! Diaper Pin - Cloth Diapers, Tips, Reviews and More... I might also try a service like Tidy Didy to see if I like that idea. I have a little bit of trouble imagining dirty diapers in my nice clean washing machine, so the idea of someone else washing them and bringing me nice, clean ones is great! Fun that I'll have a cloth diapering buddy!!! I can't believe you didn't get any rain!!! Robin - Did you see my post about the Adiri bottles from the other day? I think I'm going to try those first and if little Reid hates them, I'll go with Dr. Brown's or Avent. My sister's girls both used Avent and her little boy didn't like them, so she switched to Dr. Brown's. Nathalie - Onion strings, yummmmm! I love my doodle. We had to get a hypoallergenic dog because both DH and I are allergic to dogs and cats, though I would've loved a lab or Golden Retriever! Ours sheds a little, but not much considering she is so fluffy. She is so funny....the poodle in her makes her a little aloof (unless I have bacon in my hand for her) so every morning I have to bribe her with a cookie to get on the bed and cuddle with me! Even then, she has this look on her face like "My life sucks. When will this torture be over?!" I never had a dog before her and I had this vision of my dog following me around everywhere, loving to cuddle and sit on the couch with me. Of course, I get the one dog in the world who "values her space" as the pet psychic told me. Yes, I had a pet psychic come to the house when Ginger was puppy! How's that for some dog stories!!!

MM, i saw your post on Adiri and we may try them, however, our daycare requires for us to bring 3 bottles that we will store there plus we will need several for the house, so i don't see myself buying a dozen of Adiri bottles at the price they are... just too expensive... we will have to have an alternative...

MM - Both my brothers have goldendoodles and your story made me laugh! My middle brother's doodle (Cabo) is very cute but not very bright and wild crazy despite numerous training schools. But, she is great with their baby. I'll find a picture to PM you. My youngest brother's doodle (Bailey) I LOVE. She is all poodle personality. Incredible bright. She loves to cuddle at my house (they lived here for two months while remodeling) but hates to cuddle with the two of them at home. It makes my SIL so sad too! She had dreams of snuggling in bed (my boxers love to snuggle with her) and Bailey is completely happy to be sleeping in her doggie bed on the floor. She does hate storms though so my SIL loves it when it thunders outside and bailey has to resort to cuddling! I'll find some pictures to post of all the fluff on those two later!

Mirka - the story of DH and the ski jacket is so funny! Men are clueless sometimes. I'm making mine take a class with me at the hospital!
Robin - We need to get you a new UPS man. Maybe there is hope with the new house of being on a different route? Nathalie - Fair food sounds so yummy! I could really go for some onion rings today! April - Thanks for checking in on us! Good luck on your upcoming IVF. We'll be thinking of you. Ok, I'm blaming Mirka for pushing me to post my doggie pics. They are like my kids so I have tons of them!! And you can see how spoiled my 70lbs lap dogs really are. The two boxers are mine and the standard poodle is my parents. The goldendoodle eating out of the bowls is my favorite Bailey and the other is silly Cabo. I hope these don't turn out huge... I can never tell how they'll upload!

Peachy - Oh my goodness!!! The picture of your boxer in bed with DH was too adorable, actually, they all are! And Bailey...she and my Ginger have the same face! I will have to find and post a picture of her for you. I am so happy to hear that my doodle isn't the only one that's all poodle in temperament! DH is so funny, sometimes he'll say "Do you think Reid will resent the fact that he doesn't have a 'real' dog?" Meaning, a dog that adores him! I think she will be a great companion for our little one though...at least I hope so! Our dream is for Ginger to sleep in the nursery once the baby arrives....I somehow doubt it! Thanks for posting the darling pics. Made my day.
Robin - I hope your UPS man doesn't let you know today!!!

MM- I just emailed you some photos of the Doodle with my neice. You have nothing to worry about. The doodle loves and adores my neice. Apparently, my neice just started crawling this week and this has created all sorts of new games for the two of them around the house!
Mirka - I know what you mean about not having any room left for me on the sofa! April - My dog is quite the baby of the house. Hopefully, the youngest will adjust well to sharing the limelight.
