We may not be having the baby until September, but the baby stuff has started to arrive! :) Ruth bought the turtle sleeper that says "I love Mommy" (Josh is very hurt that there isn't a Daddy one, so if anyone sees one, that would be a good choice!) and it's adorable. Then my aunt, Jane, sent a care package full of baby stuff (she's spoiling him/her already). It had all kinds of fun stuff: wrist rattles, a photo album called "Who Loves Baby?," baby socks (always adorable), and the two white onesies. If you can read them, they say "Party in my Crib, 2 am" and "Nothing's wrong, just testing you." I'm afraid I will be living those words all too soon! Then of course there's the baby blanket we bought, the spoons Dad Looten got for us, and a bunch of fun stuff that one of the ladies at Josh's work brought him because she is getting rid of her baby stuff. Don't be confused, though, the stuffed animals in the background are Josh's, not the baby's! The little tiger is for the baby, though. Josh bought it today from the March of Dimes, and named it Hobbes. Here's hoping we don't have a Calvin! Anyway, it's really fun to be collecting all of this stuff. When I look at baby stuff, though, it just brings to mind the question of finding out or not finding out what the baby is. I am very much of to minds about it. On the one hand, what a fun surprise! But, on the other, more logial hand, I have to have clothes for the baby because I'm obviously NOT going to feel up to going shopping right after he/she is born! So it'd be nice just to decorate and buy stuff. So I don't know, still wrestling with that one. At least we have until May to decide.
The other good news is that I am about 13 weeks now, and, just as promised, the nausea is starting to subside. Not that it's gone, I still gag randomly at a moment's notice (like when Josh makes the mistake of opening the fridge while I'm in the kitchen), but not as often, and I'm not as tied to my cheerios as I have been! I can actually go an hour or two without eating anything. So here's hoping that trend continues and I get to enjoy the fun part of being pregnant! That's the part that comes before I'm as big as a house and can't bend over to paint my toenails! :)

I cannot believe that Aunt Willis beat me to the punch here. Did she send you a darling bib that says I love my auntie? Did she send you a cowboy blanket and spit cloth? HHMMMM
Well, I am going to have to catch up at Josh's birthday party!

Oooo - I'm glad you posted pics of the goods. Baby stuff is fun. I love the onesies with the sayings. Yeah, party at 2am...that'll be real fun. ;)
Oh just wait until you cant bend to paint your toe nails! Everything from the belly button down kinda gets neglected...but you cant see it anyway so it wont bother you as much :) So excited for you. Hooray that the sickness is going away. I am 30 weeks now, and it goes so fast. Enjoy the 2nd trimester!
