We have very basic cable so we don't get the channel with that show. I did search to see what it was about though. :) Carrie - Oh bless you. I just can't imagine throwing up that many times...daily! Hiwthi - Oh yeah, we'll let them sniff everything. "So many people dump their cats the minute a baby is born and that is so horrible for the cats and so unnecessary." I agree 100%. It absolutely grates on me to hear how people dump their animals because they're going to have a baby. I also will never let my kids (or anyone) ever hang all over or drag around our or anyone elses pets. Anele - Thanks for the link! Those are some neat looking toys. Bee - "You don't want a surprise?" No. Honestly there's nothing in me (or DH) that wants to wait to find out. I just can't bring myself to buy neutral stuff or decorate a neutral nursery. Maybe we will for #2. On the flip side, if they're wrong.... hooo boy! Won't that be something. Work - I got a chuckle out of the nursery color. Did everyone then start buying you boy clothing? Les - You mentioned about not knowing what they'll look like... I'm sooo excited to see what the baby looks like. Either gender, will it look more like me or DH? A combo? I think it would be so neat to see a little minnie me or DH walking around. :) Oakley - Ha, I'm just the opposite. I look at a newborn baby and think where it comes from and know it's going to hurt more than I can imagine. *cringe* It's amazing to me that our bodies can do all that. I just have to keep telling myself people have babies every day and have been doing it for years and years.... :) We're scheduled to find out the sex Feb. 1st so I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again everyone for the warm wishes. I've really enjoyed reading through all these stories.

Congrats Linda!!! I have the Monkey Shines embroidery for the quilt and I want to make it for myself! I fell in love with it years ago and have yet to make it. I think it is a gorgeous quilt that will be loved for a long time. Too many in my family want the baby quilt with the date, name etc. and they use it for a short time and put it in the closet. I want mine to be used before they dry rot lol!!!! Looking forward to seeing pics of the quilt and the baby. Rosa

Dear Elaine, You have several options: 1. Make a scrapbook page that has a pocket or flap at the bottom of the page to hold the cards. 2. Test the cards for acid and if they test negative you can cut them up and use the pretty images for die cuts on pages. 3. Spray the cards with archival mist if they are acidic, after testing them with an acid pen, and then use them. I have found that the price of the card is not always a good indicator of acid content. I have found acid free cards priced really low, and high, so testing them is the safest way. Love Penny

i sure hope they enjoy it! that's awesome... used to do work but i just can't get comfortable with my glasses so gave it up... i need to get busy and make a baby blanket for latest dgc to be...but won't know colors for a while...
