Thanks Chi! Hopefully we'll get there in time! Although, in WtEWYE, I read that 1 in 3 women have cesareans. I might not get a choice in the matter! Let's just hope there's no major no snow storm when the contractions start. smile
EDIT:: Update on page 1. AND Ick I can start setting up my classroom today. Guess where I'll be all day. I love the fall. I just wish we didn't have school LOL.

~huggles~ Maeve, just wanted you to know that I may be lax in posting but I have been keeping tabs on this thread! Sounds like everything is smooth as silk - YaY! School starting... wow, forgot about that. Celery and peanut butter (if you aren't allergic) is an awesome halfway-healthy snack that helps keep blood sugar (and energy) levels up - you'll probably be exhausted by the end of the day for the first few weeks.

alil bit of advice for dealing with children if you put leashes choker chains on them and put tie them up to the ground(a stake works best) it'll make things alot easier...jsut remember, they can and will end up rapping themselves up.. sweatdrop

Bah, give the kid to a grandparent of choice. Me an' sis where raised that way, poking around in their garden all day and getting all fatty because grandma haven't heard the news that a kilo fat is too much for frying two hotdogs XP
On top of that, when your parents grow senile, they will have something nice to repeat. In my case: how I successfully came up with an idea to plant trees at the age of 3. Yeah, real genius I was. Odd thing is, I never remember that part and I have relatively good memory of my early childhood...

Thanks Poison!
Everyone: Books are definitely the way to go. The hubby and I are total book worms. When I was little I had a tall, three-shelf book case filled with books. Even when I still didn't know how to read I would pull down book after book and get lost in the pictures, just day dreaming away. In fact, my favorite book was "The Busy World of Richard Scarry". It was a tall, thin, yellow book about the goings on in town and I would get lost in the details of the illustrations for hours noticing new things and making up stories. I loved it so much that when I saw a copy of it at B&N last year I bought it.
I'm excited to be able to share this book with the baby when it gets older. smile

I always loved Where the Wild Things Are....and there is this really cool book called The Red Ranger Comes Calling - it's a really neat Christmas story, and there is a heartwarming story about the telling of the tale as well. Hard to find, but well worth the look!

where the wild things are is mandatory!
there are so many good children books. i kept all mine they are in boxes under my bed. if i had shelves i think i would still keep them out.
for you baby shower you could have people give signed books instead of cards. that is what they did for a friend in college. i thought that was a neat idea.

MystiBlu I always loved Where the Wild Things Are....and there is this really cool book called The Red Ranger Comes Calling - it's a really neat Christmas story, and there is a heartwarming story about the telling of the tale as well. Hard to find, but well worth the look! I love Wild Things! while suffering through Spanish I in college we had to choose a children's story to read in Espanol...guess what I chose! It sounded great as I read it in Spanish, but I can't write in Spanish for beans. LOL Yeah I got something like a C+ or B-. And Mysti that book you mentioned...you can read the stories online. I read a few. eek Let's say I found the stories about the philandering Baron and the Monk to be a little jolt to the system. LOL Tigris..books are big in both of our families. My Aunt has been getting my sister and I a book for our birthdays and Christmas since we learned how to read. The baby's room will be filled with books like all the other rooms in our house. LOL

spanish....what a nightmare!
reading was about the only thing i could understand! it saved me!
i love books too. my house is stuffed with them. unfortunatly i do not have many book shelves so they are in piles and boxes everywhere. i can never find anything. i converted the doll house my grandfather made for me into a book case. it is very nice i still get to use my doll house and have places for my books...you would think. kali, one of my cats, keeps pushing the books out of what would be the living room. well it is her size so i guess she thinks it should be her room!
anyway since i understand story i was able to make out the one in spanish. that was the only thing that saved me from failing spanish *shudder* so much time spent in the spanish lab...
well you are already a good parent for being a big reader! that is about one of the best gifts you can give it think, the passion to read!
