yeah, I'm currently paying an arm and a leg for daycare and trying to figure out what we'll do once this next one comes along. I'm not reserving a spot though because i'm going to try and figure out a way to stay home at some level. Peachy, i've never heard of a mothers morning out place?

Peach- where are the weddings? Any that can become part of a babymoon?

Vanessa- glad your dd is warming upto the idea. My dd is only 2 and right now she just knows that there's a baby in mommy's tummy (yes, i've told my 2 yr old and no one else- go figure). She comes over and sometimes pats mommy's tummy and gives it a kiss. it's very cute. I had to explain why she could no longer jump on mommy's tummy.

$250/week is an average in our area... i'll have to talk to my boss at some point, maybe we can negotiate a flexible schedule...

is it 5pm yet? i am ready to get out of here... we were invited to a huge party tomorrow (probably 500 people or so) on the lake and now it looks like it's going to rain we were planing to announce to our friends that we are pg...

Robin- quite a party for an announcement I hope the rain comes tonight and it clears up tomorrow for you!

I was going to tell work people at lunch but never did. I think they know though... I'm not finding it easy to open my mouth and say, "Oh by the way, i'm pregnant" I don't know why i'm having such issues about it.

Cat - Mother's morning out is where they have daycare five days a week from 9am-Noon and typically you get two or three days of the week. You don't have to pre-chose your days just show up when you need it. It's just for a few hours but enough time to schedule appts or run errands in peace and isn't as expensive as daycare. Most of my friends are paying between $1000-$1200 a month for fulltime daycare. I thought that would be a good compromise and would give me a little quiet time. I have to go put myself on the wait list soon.

Our weddings are no where too exciting. Two in Philly (again). One is in Jamaica at some exclusive resort that is $500 a night (for the cheapest room!) plus airfare and is in the middle of hurricane season. The couple was married last year at a small ceremony and already has a 6 month old (yep) so they've decided to do some big destination wedding now... and an engagement party, baby shower, and baby naming all in the course of 6 months. So, we're going to skip the wedding party part.

Robin - We're supposed to get rain down here tomorrow too. Can you make the big announcement inside or is the whole party going to be cancelled?

I'm off to an appointment. I gave in and scheduled a bikini wax (TMI... I know). Can't wait to see how painful this is pregnant! I'll be sure to share later and forewarn everyone. Have a great weekend!

Peachy- never tmi! I've never had a bikini wax but I would honestly love to be able to not have to worry about shaving- i'm so forgetful right now that I don't notice UNTIL i'm at the pool in my bathing suit that i haven't shaved ANYWHERE. So of course, I then put my shorts back on...

Mirka, mirka???? RESULTS?

it's all outside... they have the perfect setup... huge back yard with over 200 ft of shore and woods across the cove... plenty of "parking"... the girl sings and plays in the band, so fee entertainment... there only a handful of couples when we started this 4th of July tradition, but now it's HUGE... we also do a fundraiser for our humane society, so it's not just a drinking fest...

Peachy - It's not TMI! I had to stop my laser hair removal appointments once I was trying to get pregnant (it's not recommended while you're pregnant because they don't know what effect - if any - it will have on the developing embryo/fetus). And I have been procrastinating about starting up the bikini waxing while pregnant because I'm afraid it will hurt more for some reason! hahaha let me know if it hurts more now that you're pregnant (though I never thought the waxing was all THAT painful to begin with).

Robin - I hope the rain holds off so you can make your exciting announcement at the big party!

Cat - your DD sounds adorable!!!

All this babymoon talk has me itching for a vacation!!!!
