Jacqui - OH.. my! That is so funny! I got a similar response from my grandmother. She said, "Well, why did you go off and do that?" I said, "probably the same reason that you did 4 times... we want a child." (My mom has 3 siblings.) Her response? "Fair enough, fair enough. Number one may have been a surprise, but you can't get surprised when it happens 3 more times." Later on she realized that there was no way it was a surprise. hehe

Robin - It is hard to wait for sonograms and appointments. Sounds like you are going to be like me in that you have gotten and will get a LOT of sonograms. I have no idea how other people do it. I thought I was going to literally die the first time we went a whole month without an appointment.... drove me NUTS.

Jen - Sorry Katie got her first cold... that stinks. Hope she is back to her normal self soon. BTW - her new pic is just tooo cute!

Care - I feel you on the yard work. Luckily, our little one likes to be outside so much that she often goes out with me and I do non-tool related yardwork like weed pulling. It is kinda nice to get outside, but I don't like the heavy duty kind of yard work that it sounds like you all were doing... YUK!

A - I don't even know how I am going to handle the whole sleep thing in a few weeks when I have to go back! Right now, Kathy gets up at 6:00 and feeds her while I pump. I finish feeding her and then it is time that in the future, all 3 of us will need to be leaving... ACCK. I have NO idea how early we are going to have to get up to make this work. OY!

Well... we are heading to Kathy's hometown for a visit with her family on Thursday afternoon. Our first trip with little O. Anybody that has traveled got any advice about specific things you wish you had taken with you or things you did to handle the car ride?

Dawn
