I'd also advise reading the book LC mentioned. If anything thing that I really took away from it was she's gonna be nutsy and more so then normal but it was really good to read it and here it from other sources. Its handy to read what you can and attend the doctors when and if you can. Ultrasounds are cool and slam home that this is real but here I am with T-2 weeks or less and still can't believe that someone would allow me to raise a child.

Little LC has taught me that listening, staying calm and actually doing what your parents did is all you need to do. Millions of years parenting has been programed into us so its rather straight forward(when she gets to be 15 I'll let you know what I think).

Have fun and try not to buy all the crap they spew at you.

www.petuniapicklebottom.com makes a rather nice diaper bag which I've just recently got one for the LC.

for a while there I thought Lady C was keeping you tied up in the basement
