I know how you feel, I'm not having one either. This is going to sound awful but I don't think the ladies at work (at least in my small part of the office) like me very much so I'm not forseeing a work shower either. I'm not a bad person I swear, I just don't put up with their lazy crap.
Anyway, all this to say that I've been trying to spend a little out of each paycheck and hope to have it all bought by the time that he arrives. Dh and I have seperate accounts and he had a heart attach when I spent a whopping 50 bucks out of his account on cloth diapers last week. Seriously? If he knew how much money I've shelled out for Adan so far and plan to before he gets here he'd hush his mouth about that 50 bucks
As for the cake , I can't have any right now anyway but I'm going to get dh or my mom to get a welcome home baby cake for when we bring him home and we'll have our own little party.
Oh, and as far as requesting things the only people that I really feel comfortable suggesting things to are my mom and sister and I sent them both the link to the swing that I want w/the suggestion that they go in together for it. So, we'll see if that happens or not.
