Ian, from the throne, yells, "Hey, mom! Come look at this poop. It looks like a cookie!"
Bring on the baby girl.

Obsession
Since we found our we're having a girl I've wanted to do something to get ready. Luckily my dad knows someonewho had two little girls and is done, so she said she would give us her baby clothes. Huge blessing. We'll get them in a month or two (they're over in Seattle), and I don't really want to buy more clothes until I see what she has. This leaves me with the problem of not knowing what to do to at least make me feel like I am preparing to have a baby in 19 weeks.
Cue headband obsession. I'm making nylon headbands and making flowers, bows, and other embellishments to clip to the headband. If I put an alligator clip under each....thing...then I can either have a headband or a hairbow, and switch what color headband goes with each bow. And when I say "making" I really mean obsessively planning on what kind of flowers, bows, etc. I want to make and finding free tutorials online for them. Here is a great website I'm starting with that links to tutorials. Buying supplies will come later. When I have a car.
Don't worry--all accessories for my baby's head will be in proportion to her head size. The great thing about this project? It makes me feel somewhat thrifty--I can use all of my old nylons for this--at least the ones where the runs started in the toe and didn't get too far, or the ones where I poked my finger through the waistband while trying to hoist them up my plump pregnant legs. Now I won't fret that I go through a pair a week!
PS: Pregnant picture coming soon. My friend Mariah posted a pregnant pic. She's 27 weeks, and looks like I did at 12 weeks. Sunday my sister said, "I don't believe that there's only one baby in there!" And that was my tactful sister.

Oh, Boy!
We're going to have a baby girl on June 8th! I had just assumed we were going to have a boy, so when the ultrasound tech told us it was a girl, I was giddy with shock. And really, the first thing I started thinking about was all the cute girl clothes, which, as Brittney said, just make you happy looking at them. Now after the initial shock has worn off, I'm just scared. Boys are so easy-going and relaxed, we already have plenty of boy clothes, toys, and books, and now I'm going to have to keep tights on hand for a baby girl. How am I going to do that when I snag a new pair of mine every Sunday? Please, someone reassure me that I'm not going to have a nervous breakdown from trying to accessorize a mini human being.
