Welp... (Leyla has joined the battle)

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned yet in this thread, but after watching my best bud and his wife through the process (due the first week of Feb!), I would start booking pregnancy classes and daycare options right now. Depending on your locality, it can get super competitive to get into the good ones.
 
Thanks for the advice.

We fully plan to do so once she hits 5 months. So basically once we get back from vaca in mid-March.

I would put some feelers out before if you can. They started around then, and found themselves behind everyone in the same baby generation.
 
My baby generation wasn't very competitive. They were a bunch of cry babies, to be honest. Most of 'em crapped their pants.

Just a heads-up, if you please... I recently re-watched Penn & Teller's Bullshit. So if you start seriously considering something like dolphin-assisted birth, I will deputize the nearest available forumite to smack everybody involved until the stupid bleeds out of your ears.

Including the goddang dolphin.

Carry on ;)
 
Wait until you find out the gender. That's what hit me, even harder than the heartbeat.

Congratulations man, and definitely finish up the major projects now. Do yourself a favor too... start stocking up on diapers and wipes now - diapers in the smaller sizes won't be so much of an issue, but you can NEVER have too many wipes.

They feel good on the nether regions...
 
Eh... for when our next comes, we're going to only do a handful of clothes (say up to 8 sleepers/rompers) for the first 6 months or so... Rhiannon grew too fast to stay in clothes appropriate to her age range for long. *grins*
 
Yeah but when they have explosive diapers it's nice to have a bunch of clothes you can change them in and out of. With my daughter I had a few times where the mess was so bad that I just threw her sleeper in the garbage.

When my nephew "failed" at potty training in his underoos, my sister in law just tossed them. "I am NOT touching that." Those undies cost less than a dollar...

Make friends with someone who has a slightly older kid born in the same season. We haven't bought clothes for my daughter for years. Then you can pass them down the line, too.

I'm pretty sure my sister in law did this on purpose. Her oldest daughter in 3yrs younger than mine and she just had another girl.

It's no worse than any other fast food, and when you don't try to compare it to Mexican food, it's pretty good in its own right. I know I'm guilty of getting my kids a 12 taco pack from them when we're headed home from a long day.
I was referring really to the explosive diaper situation. I should've quoted people.

Oh god, I can't imagine feeding Taco Bell to a toddler... just no way.

Also I think people having bathroom issues after Taco Bell are either going to really shady Taco Bells or mixing too many different foods there or are microwaving leftovers.

The restaurant never seemed shady to me. All I know is my own horror. I last ate Taco Bell from one in Indiana over five years ago. I mixed nothing nor did I microwave leftovers, because after what it did to me the following day, I had no desire to touch the stuff again.

That I still remember it in detail, and even the date (January 15, 2007) should give you some idea of how horrible it was, that it is etched into my mind. When I'm a senile old man fifty years from now and have forgotten the names of my friends and the plot to Chrono Trigger, I will still be telling the nurse about that post-Taco Bell ordeal as she slides the pillow over my face to end my suffering of reliving it.

Does that by any chance coincide with that recall they did on chives or the tomato recall that caused some food poisoining a while back?
 
For the record taco bell is the most authentic Mexican food you can get. It gets the job done for half the price. What can be more Mexican than that?
 
Sorry for the lack of news.

We went for some tests last month, everything seems fine.

We're going in tomorrow for her exam, she's 19 weeks preggers and we are "likely" to find out the sex of the baby tomorrow.

I cannot help but find this moment and time to be FULL OF DRAMA because, we're going to find out... AND SOON

OMMMMG
