Baby, Baby, Baby....Oh Baby!!!

So is it a boy or girl?

We anxiously awaiting July 25th to come as that will be when we find out whether our little bundle of joy is

a boy or a girl? We are both really excited to find out although I think for different reasons. I want to shop!! 

Mick I think just wants to know. Its been so hard not buying cute clothes when I see them!! We have a lot of stuff already so that makes my mind more at ease. We have our crib, dresser and changing table. We also started buying diapers and wipes. It was quite the adventure to Babies R Us a couple of weeks ago. I didn't think I could get my husband out of that store! He was pretty into...unlike me who was feeling sick of course and kind of just wanted to get out of there. He also picked out bottles. Yes, I said bottles. He found a brand that he apparently thinks is the best thing since sliced bread...they are called Tommy Tippies! Yeah, I know! Anyways, he went crazy!! He bought several bottles, a cleaner/sterilizer, some pacifiers! The whole nine yards and said that I couldn't register for anything or buy anything but Tommy Tippies! YIKES! And of course...they are the most expensive!! You know my husband....he says he just wants the best for the baby. So much that he was discussing buying a tempur-pedic, memory foam, allergy free mattress for the crib. I said I don't think the baby should be sleeping on a more expensive and nicer mattress than its parents...we'll see who wins this battle...I usually surrender to him when it comes to these things but we will go broke with his track record so far. But it does make me happy that he is excited and cares and whats the best for baby. We also have a bassinet, cradle, two swings (one big, one little), some clothes, books, a few toys...so we are getting set. Its beginning to look a lot like a baby is on the way...well at least in our garage! LOL! House project is coming along...Mick and the guys have been getting some progress done so hopefully before November is my wish...cross your fingers. Health wise....I'm doing okay. I've been pretty sick and miserable to be quite honest. Was in the hospital twice now and about ended up there again this morning but pushed through so hopefully soon I will start feeling good again. So its been pretty rough but I know in the end, it will all be worth it...When I get to the really bad times, I just pull out the sonogram pictures and see little baby and know it will all be okay. So I'm hoping the sickness will soon be gone but have a bad feeling about this one. I may be one of those unlucky mommas who are just sick the entire time! YUCK! The heat sure doesn't help either!!
I've been playing lullabies to the baby and guess who hasn't made it past song two...yep! This girl...puts me right to sleep! LOL! The baby naming has been quite eventful as well...let me tell you...Mick sure comes up with some doozies! Some of them he says literally makes me skin crawl! What he thinks in that head of his sometimes sure scares me! LOL! Its also been fun because I"m starting to show more and more and have had a few BRAVE people ask when I'm due and its just fun and makes things even more exciting having people ask about myself and the baby! Well, I keep you posted...a week from today we find out!!!
