I would like to give a big thank you to everybody who has left us comments and signed our guestbook! We love the feedback. It reminds me that I'm not doing this for me; it's so you guys can keep up with our ever-changing lives and feel included with this pregnancy. I think it's especially great for the people that don't live close or we don't see very often. I would like to take this opportunity to respond to a couple of questions people have left on the comments and we haven't answered yet. Dana, yes, we'll be posting pictures of the nursery when we're done painting. We haven't decided on any particular theme or anything, and would be more than happy to here a suggestion or two (Dana? Tami?). Kelly, we were pregnant at your wedding. We had actually found out less than a week before (actually, we found out the day after the housewarming party). That's why we weren't feeling up to going out drinking.... :D   

    I've been reading Dr. Spock's child and adolescent care book. Love it! I've done a lot of babysitting in my life and been around a lot of different little kids, but it's obviously a lot different when it's yours. This book talks about everything I could possibly want to know about. He mentions some things that I have always agreed with and a few things I didn't (but he made me at least look at them from a different angle) and a lot of things I'd never thought about or never knew I'd need to worry about. I love that he even tells you how to do simple things more easily and the pros and cons to everything. It's made me feel much more confident about what I already know and like I'll be able to handle the things I've never had to deal with before. I'm going to have to tie Steve down and read it aloud to him, I think. Not because he refuses to read it, but because it's hard to get him to read ANYTHING at all (he just isn't a big reading fan) and he's always busy doing something else (usually looking at weather or photo stuff online). But I think it's really important he reads it too. Especially since he's never even changed a diaper. I was flabergasted when he told me that. I didn't realize how common it was to not be exposed to that! Must be my years of exposure to the McGarry's. You didn't get out of that house alive without changing at least one diaper! :D Just means I'm a little better prepared, for which I'm grateful. And I know we'll have lots of support from all of you with whatever we're having trouble with, and that is always appreciated!
