The ones that had the clear sheets and then they could write on the sheet with a pen and it would project on the wall? Well i think they sell those at Michaels. You would just need to find Pooh Transparancies so you can trace it on the wall yourself and VOILA instant artist.

eBay.ca: 4' WINNIE the POOH Wall MURAL b2 Cute Murals by Martha (item 300088402243 end time 02-Oct-07 09:07:52 EDT)

Try google searching Pooh wall transparancies. SInce my thinking might be old school, they might have come up with something new that is traceable onto the walls too. (?)

Good idea, Havana!

Robin - if you have drawings or pictures of the Pooh characters that you like, a copy center can copy them onto transparacies for you too...any place like Staples, Kinkos or Copy Cop should be able to do it for you.

Robin- I did my dd's nursery in Pooh....not sure what I am doing this time.

Thanks, for the info on the kicking...I laid worried about it half of the morning.

Incidentally, my feet swell up so bad that all I can wear are flip flops. Anyone else having this problem? Mine is just in my feet, no where else.

ha ha, my "artwork" is just painting w/ tape. Not too crazy! And I even modified the stripes from my original design to be simpler. But the jumping frogs will be wooden frogs that i buy from michaels or joanns and attach to the wall and then draw dotted lines to show them jumping. I have to convince my brother to put up crown molding too...

YEAH BOSTON!!! So exciting! I can't wait! Sounds like w/in the next week that everyone (who wants to know) will know the gender of baby.

Joy- i've seen you lurking on occasion- how are things going out there?

That's a really cute transparency Havana!

Robin - you are too funny. And, I think you CAN do the wall art yourself. Give it a try...it's only paint! It can be painted over if you don't like how it turns out, right?

Thanks ladies! I have a feeling the week is going to pass at a snail's pace for me!!

Robin- Hahahaha!! Yeah, I got it. No straight lines!! Too funny! I LOVE the Winnie the Pooh murals. You should get someone to paint that. It would be so adorable. I am sure you could even do it yourself like Havana said.

Boston- We cannot wait (I am sure you can't either) to find out next week!! So glad you finally made that appointment. As for not finding out the sex, trust me I almost buckled under pressure. I have no will power when it comes to anything else but that was something I had to do. It was hard!! As for Dh's ds, I am sure he is upset because it will no longer be about him. Oh well.

Bri- I wouldn't worry either. My girlfriend didn't feel anything until the 22nd week. As for your feet swelling, mine are too. Mine just look fat. Are you drinking plenty of water?

Peachy- I was reading the new Redbook magazine (Sept. Brooke Shields on the cover) and they had a story on 3 women who were/or trying to get pregnant. One of them had IVF with ICSI and was having a GIRL, due this month!!

Nat
