-blows off the dust layer-

haha.

For my friends and those of you whom I've not spoken to in YONKS and AGES, Chris and I are expecting our first baby together in June.

Just thought I'd share the happy news since I remember that stuff not happening too often around here.
Any motherhood tips I can get, I'll take 'em. I'm about to have an all-out button war soon enough, and the weepies have set in..the sickness varies, but overall, i'm just TIRED. I keep think that at any moment I'll just fall apart completely. lol. (I mean, seriously, MUST I cry everytime that kid on "Blind Side" says he's never had a bed"...UGH)

I miss some of you more than you know or would like to think...and I hope you're all well.

xxoo.

Motherhood tip #1:

Food goes in one end and poop comes out of the other. Don't get them the wrong way around.

6, 7, & 8

I am a true believer that you should read to your baby while in the womb and after you give birth, even though it might not seem like they understand or listen it does help to develop skills, music is another thumbs up especially classical.

Enjoy him or her while they are young because they grow up way to fast

Congratulations!!

remember this...

you'll spend the first 18 months of their lives trying to get them to walk and talk...

and then the next 18 years of their lives trying to get them to sit down and shut up!


congratulations.

YAY TROPY!!!!!!!!!! *super tight hugs*

congrats baby girl! i am so happy for you both!!!!!

when you are feeling up to eating, eat as MUCH as you want and then blame it on being a hungry pregnant woman if anyone dares to bitch about it! *lol* if i remember you are a tiny lil creature so you should beable to get away with having chocolate for breakfast lunch and dinner.

but in all seriousness. sleep when baby sleeps, that is one of the best ones i can think of, but most importantly, if you guys can afford it, get that monitoring system that not only listens in on baby, but monitors the breathing pattern too, as well if you can, get a lil bassinet to keep in the bedroom with you both until the baby is about 4-5 months old........and don't worry about having sex while pregnant or when the baby is in the room. *lol* kid won't remember a thing!!!

congrats again sweet stuff, and let us know if you are gonna find out if it's a boy or girl!

Congratulations!

Ditto on the music - I'm a believer in the Mozart effect. Classical is great - of course, a little Motown wouldn't hurt either.



But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord
