So, for just about everyone now who knows me, they know that I am going to have a baby.  After a couple of revised due dates, its official…October 27th.  Here is a couple things about that date.  First of all my entire immediate family has birthdays in October spaced no greater then 2 weeks apart.  My brother was born early, so he managed to sneak into september, but he was SUPPOSED to be an october baby.  So here comes yet another October birthday!!

But, here is what is going on with me…We got our first ultrasound last week.  I have the pictures framed and am fascinated by them.  I am of course reading all the baby books which outline the developement of the baby (but are sparse on pictures), and now i get a weekly email with an outline of developement as well as an illustrated picture.  I realized today i am ADDICTED these pictures.  I want another ultrasound.  I want to see what this little guy looks like this week (even if it is only 8 days later).  I guess I get my next one sometime in June where we are hoping to find out the sex…of course given history, I am almost 98% sure a boy. 

 I have started looking around a little bit at the stuff this baby is going to need.  I started out at Pottery Barn and priced my new nursery at somehere around $3,000. I got more then a few raised eyebrows, so I toned it down at Baby's R Us for around roughly $1,000.  A little online shopping and it appears to be closer to $800 at this point.  Of course, that is just for the crib and changing table and if i am lucky a rocker.  The debate rages on about car seats and strollers.  And I get overwhelmed anytime i think about anything else.  Although i have a drawer quickly filling up with little baby hats, sleepers, blankets, all the stuff thats FUN to buy. 

 People keep telling me how much my life will change once this baby comes.  I feel i need to say that anyone who knows me, knows it already has….
