That would be the estimated due date of the baby.



We found out for almost-certain on May 1, and I had a doctor's appt. today to double-check. Picked up some prenatal vitamins, and some ginger to help with the morning sickness. You should've seen mom's face when I told her. And dad was hilarious-- he was getting ready to go to bed when we came by, so mom went to go get him, telling him there was something he needed to hear. I said, "Hi, grandpa!" and he raised his eyebrows at me and turned to mom and said, "So what am I supposed to be listening to?" And then the light dawned. lol

Chris said, "Well, I guess I'll have to go shopping, then, since Mother's Day is on the 13th." *mournful sigh* "You couldn't have waited a couple more weeks?" So I swatted him. :-)

So, yeah. This should be interesting.

Are you hoping for a boy or girl?

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

At the moment, a girl. Though that could change, knowing my fickle self. LOL Basically, just hoping it's healthy. :-)

Steph! How exciting!

Morning sickness helps: Coke icees. My hand to God. Someone gave me that tip the last time around because I had the worst time of it and they were the best advice ever given.

It's still early yet, but you let me know when you pick a nursery theme and I'll do you some pics.

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks! *s* And I wouldn't have guessed that about the Coke icees. lol

Chris is talking about walling in the porch and moving the washer and dryer out there (they're currently in a corner of the kitchen) and then moving the living room table into that corner and partitioning off part of the living room for a nursery. If we can afford it, anyway.

Mom wanted to buy one or two things for us the other day, so it was a fun game of "search for something not totally blue or so pink and frilly it automatically causes diabetes". Ended up finding a cute jungle-pictures blanket. :-)

Congratulations!

Please promise the world, though, that you will never ever ever combine Christmas and Birthday for the sprog. Assuming you celebrate Christmas. If not, never mind. ;)

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

lol Nope, we won't do that. And I have a little brother who was born on January 9, so I've got family with experience in not doing that. ;-)

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Happy Mother's Day!

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

Hee. Thank you! :-)
