Guess What?? I finally get to tell!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

So, I've been keeping a secret for quite a while now (that would be REALLY impressive to you if you knew me really well!!). :rotfl2:

DH & I are 13 weeks pregnant!! We just had the end-of-1st-trimester visit today, and all is well. This is one of the reasons the virus 2 weeks ago hit me so hard. But, everything is going great now--I'm gaining weight (the only time I've ever been applauded for gaining weight! ;) ), and the baby is moving like crazy on the ultrasounds!!

I can't believe I made it this long without telling, but I couldn't wait to share it with you all!! :dance3: Our due date is August 8, 2008 (08/08/08), which is also my mom's birthday. We go on March 7 for another ultrasound, and we should be able to know the gender at that point!!!

YAY!!!!! :cool1:

[aroyer]

OMG- THAT IS SO VERY EXCITING! I have goose bumps! Congratulations!

[AlexWyattMommy]

OMGoodness!!

That is soo cool!! My birthday date is 8/28/68, I love eights.

I call dibs on hostessing your baby book!

[hopemax]

Pooh carts and a baby. Things are really going your way.

Congratulations!

[PrincessNancy96]

OMG!! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!!! I get another baby to take care of... You remember I will be watching the baby if you return to work.. you and DH will just have to visit on weekends!!!

Ok, AWM, I'm your back up since we are so close... Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!!!

Oh Brooke, I'm so happy for you and DH... Give him a hug for me and a big one for you!!!
Hey, tell DH he has to call me during the ultrasound.. I want to know everything!!!! :hug:

[123SA]

Congratulations!! :cool1:

[aroyer]

[BernardandMissBianca]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!
party: party: party: party: party: party:

Details, we want details!!! Well not all the details but........ :rotfl2: Do we get to help pick a name??? ;) Did you tell the grandparents yet? And KAMommy and her crew?

A BABY!!! ANOTHER DIS BABY!!!!!!!

3/7 is DD's birthday! I will be stalking the computer for an update!!!

AWM, I am soooo in with the baby book!


I'm gonna cry! I am so happy for you an DH. :sad: the smilie says sad, but these are happy tears. I know how bad you guys want a baby.

[PrincessNancy96]

I know.. I screamed so loud I scared the cat and DD...

[AlexWyattMommy]

My DH thinks I'm nuts.

So, do we wait for the baby's sex, or do you want a gender neutral DISNEY themed book?

[TPCShauna]

That is fabulous news! I am so excited for you and DH!!!

Yippee! Another DIS baby for us all to love!

[bigbabyblues]

Congrats, how exciting!!!

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Congratulations!!! :cheer2: :woohoo: :banana: :cool1:

How exciting! Now you will most definitely have to get the Pooh font cart for all those cute baby pooh stuff.

[PrincessNancy96]

Let's start a general and we can go gender specific when she tells us...

I've got some many ideas running through my head right now it's amazing.... this may just have been the kick start I needed to get moving again!!!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

So, here's the story (or the part fit for public consumption, anyway! ;) ).

You all know (or most of you do) how we've wanted to have a baby. Anyway, in Nov, when I went for my reg appt, the dr gave me one of those fun temp charts to do. Let me tell you, if you've never done one, it's just the funnest thing ever (where's the sarcastic smilie??) ;) The dr joked with me that since I was such a compulsive planner, this would at least make me more "diligent" (her word). So, we did the chart thing in all of its glory for about 3 weeks. Right after Thanksgiving, I got sick. I blamed it on the wonderful kiddos at school and the lovely viruses they have. Only, I got well enough to go to school, but I couldn't keep anything down, except peanut butter (a food I usually avoid). About 4 days after that (on Dec 2nd), still about 3-4 days before my friendly visitor was scheduled, we stopped and got a pregnancy test on the way home from dinner with my family. I took it to the bathroom, did the thing, and before DH could walk down the hall to the bathroom, it had already turned to the 2 lines. It said, "this could take up to 2 minutes". . .it took about 15 seconds. So, an hour later, I took the other one, just to be sure! ;)

We told my mom about 2 days after that (only because she kept saying, "did you get sick today?"). At the end of that week, we had a dr's appt (b/c of my miscarriage before, they wanted to see me early), and he said all was looking great. We told my brother and SIL, DH's sister, and MIL & FIL. We also told KAMommy and her DH. Other than the 2 women at my work (that I told b/c I had to miss work to do the dr thing), I haven't told anyone else until tonight! I couldn't wait to tell y'all!!

We've had several ultrasounds already (for various reasons), and the baby is measuring big right now (always good). The lab tech said that she "thinks" it's a girl b/c the heart rate is so high. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. . .I just want it here and healthy!! :) I think we've picked out names (stress "I think"). For a girl, it'll be Ainsley Hope, and for a boy, it'll be Colin Edward. Colin is the only name currently up for debate. We're pretty set on the girl, and Edward is a family name.

Ok, sorry for the marathon post!! Thank you all so much for your support and congratulations!! DH and I are tickled to death (as you can imagine)!! You know I'll keep all of the DIS aunties posted. . .I'm thinking the "coming home" outfit should be a lime green onesie!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh yes! You have to have a lime green coming home outfit. And you have pick a DISname too.

[PrincessNancy96]

A lime green onesie w/ Pooh on it!!! I'm gonna start looking now!!!! ;)
Maybe for the diaper bag we should all send you LGMH w/ our names and numbers so if mommy gets flustered anyone that helps her can call one of the DIS Aunts for assistance!!!! Can you imagine "little SIOH" with his/her own little lime green phone book on the diaper bag!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Oh Idea Idea!!!!

We could do a LGMH tag book with ideas, suggestions, numbers for all of us, funny stories, etc.

this baby is soooo gonna be spoiled!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Mama- StitchIsOurHero

Papa - StitchIsARedSoxFan

baby - StitchIsABornDiser, StitchIsOneLovedBaby, StitchIsA????????

[PrincessNancy96]

Oh Idea Idea!!!!

We could do a LGMH tag book with ideas, suggestions, numbers for all of us, funny stories, etc.

this baby is soooo gonna be spoiled!

Love it!!

Even if we use LG paper that would be adorable.. do it on a two-page design... OMG!! Too cute!! Love it!!!!

[hopemax]

For a girl, it'll be Ainsley Hope,

I've never been as enamored with my name as everyone around is me is enamored with my name (I always wanted something with more syllables :rotfl: ). But today, I will like my name. It's a good name.

I read this to DH. He said, "For now, we could call it BabyStitch". I thought that was cute, until he laughed (in that man-laugh kinda thing) and said, "You know BS for short". So, that went right out the window!! I'm liking StitchIsOneLovedBaby b/c I get to keep the SIO part!!

Love it!!

Even if we use LG paper that would be adorable.. do it on a two-page design... OMG!! Too cute!! Love it!!!!

Very cute until all of y'all get annoyed with the crazy Tennessee woman calling you for help!!

I've never been as enamored with my name as everyone around is me is enamored with my name (I always wanted something with more syllables :rotfl: ). But today, I will like my name. It's a good name.

We had originally picked another middle name, but DH didn't like it. I was reading a book with a character named Hope, and they kept referring to a certain Psalm. I read the psalm which was all about hope. One day, I said to DH, "So, what about Hope?" And it's been our pick ever since! We can't believe now that we considered another name! ;)

Tell DH.. don't make me call him right now with the pre-mommy lecture!! He needs to behave.. remember he is the one who started all this...and this child will one day be a teenager.. ask him if he wants a trial run.. I'll see DD down... she'll give him the stomp, stomp, slam of the door a few times! Tell DH he is such a hoot!!! I think StitchIsOneLovedBaby is the perfect one!!!

As for tired of you calling never... now call me more than 3 nights in a row at 3am.. than we'll talk.. you got to share the wealth w/ that one! :rotfl:

[StitchIsOurHero]

OMGoodness!!

That is soo cool!! My birthday date is 8/28/68, I love eights.

YAY! My mom is thrilled about the 8's, too! One of my dearest friends (who also happens to be a girl I used to coach) will turn 20 on that day, too!

Thanks for offering to hostess the baby book!! I'm so excited! ! :dance3:

We'll make a chart for who all I can call at 3 am!! I'll work my way through--starting with West Coast people. . .it would only be midnight for them, right?!? ;)

I'm going to tell DH about the stomp,stomp,slam! He does need to get used to that!! :rotfl2:

[BernardandMissBianca]

so you do know that you will have a boy since you already have the girl name right?
We had Emily Elizabeth for all the boys, right off the bat. And yep you guessed it, DD is not Emily Elizabeth. LOL

I'll take the middle of night calls, I'm up anyway. But don't ask me about "natural" feeding (not sure if I can say that word), I did bottles all the way!

Oh,oh, oh first tip!!! If you have a girl use Pampers, if you have a boy use Huggies! Or they leak!

[hopemax]

I call dibs on hostessing your baby book!

And baby book is exempt from BAN, yes? :rotfl2:

I predict there will be like 3 books to fit all the pages. :rotfl:

[BernardandMissBianca]

If you want to borrow a 2 year old, I'm more than willing to part with mine right now. :rolleyes1

[BernardandMissBianca]

My mom is convinced it's a boy, and the Murphy's Law, which should be SIOH's law, will definitely mean it's a boy, since we have the other name! ;) I am doing the bottle feeding, too (especially since I will have to go back to work and not be able to go do the other). The dr is not all thrilled about that, but hey, I wasn't thrilled when he was mashing "the girls" to check them and said (in that process), "And, you know that breastfeeding is best!" Yep, hope they're still attached for that when you're done!! :rotfl2:

Diaper tip duly noted!! ;)

[StitchIsOurHero]

Oh you bet it's exempt!!! Ya'll thought MLP's book was huge?? SIOH will need a fork lift for this bad boy!


Oh, good, it's exempt!! I was going to beg whoever I needed to to get an exemption!! ;)

[TPCShauna]

Very exempt from the BAN as I have no legitimate reasons to buy baby stuff for my normal books.

Woohoo!

You can call me SIOH! I'll still be up at 3:00am your time since I usually go to bed after midnight my time. I'm the youngest of 8 and have 23 neices and nephews. I've got the baby thing down pat!

[BernardandMissBianca]

So baby toys??? Stitch or Pooh???
Target has some really cute Vintage Pooh stuffed animals......

[rlovew]

Wow, I am so happy for you. Enjoy this time as well as the time with the little one. I can't wait to help with the baby book.

The nursery will be Pooh--must I admit that one reason is because I have a bunch of Pooh prints anyway! ;) Seriously, they will look good in the baby's room! But baby toys. . .Stitch or Pooh either one!! You know my kid is destined to be a Stitch Lover!! :stitch:



Thanks for joining my phone call helpline, Shauna!! ;) 23 nieces and nephews?!?! You DO have this down!! :cool1:

We went and looked at bedding the other day to match the nursery stuff! SO much fun!! Good that there's not a BAN on that kind of shopping!!

BAMB and PO3 - Thanks for the congrats. I was going to wait a little longer to spill the beans, but then SIOH shared her news and I got caught up in baby fever!

[Mickeyteacher]

Things do come in 3's.....but number 3 is not ME! DH would look like :scared1: this if I announced I was expecting
Congrats to both of you. Heres to a healthy 9 months!

Thanks for the offer of help!! I may have to take you up on it, since you're so close!! ;)

That is so funny- That was my favorite show when I was pregnant and where I got her name from also. Our Ansley's middle name is Cruse- my mom's maiden name.

I love the princess idea--although I'm not sure my child will ever act like a princess (I never managed it!!!)

So, do we wait for the baby's sex, or do you want a gender neutral DISNEY themed book?

Ok, somehow in my laughter over Hope's "pooh carts AND a baby!", I missed this!

Either way works for me! If you want, we could wait until we know the gender, or not. It's whichever!! :)

[StitchIsOurHero]

Oh in a heartbeat!! :cloud9:

Don't tell anyone but.... My mom, cousin, and I are all having our hair done this summer when we take DD. After I made the reservation, DS was upset because he could not have the Cool Dude, so we are all going. So that he can be my prince charming. It's all in how you set it up with DH!

NIIIIIIICE!! And I give you points for getting that set up!! I can't wait to see pics of your BBB adventure!

We are going in March (not to BBB, just to WDW) for DH's birthday and doing breakfast at CRT (it's just me & DH and baby!). I told my dr that I wanted to know the gender before we left so I could get a "future princess on board" or "future pirate/prince on board" shirt to wear to CRT. It may have been the weirdest reason the dr ever had for scheduling an ultrasound, but it worked!! ;)

[Michellepooh]

Thanks for the congrats everyone!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Congratulations......on the pregnancy AND keeping the secret:).

Thanks!!! I was impressed with my secret-keeping abilities (I think DH was just shocked!!) ;)

[PrincessNancy96]

Congrats Michelle.. See I had to go take care of kid issues here I missed the big announcement from Michelle... Yeah!!!

I'm NOT #3... I just had my visitor..and after all this news I've swore off DH forever!!! He laughed and said.. I wouldn't mind being the #3 for you all.. Yeah, right... so he says now!!!

Brooke, I've done told you I'm watching that baby.. after all your BF lives up here so you'll be visiting often.. :lmao: OH, shoot.. should I call your DBF and tell him the exciting news.. maybe I should call the local news channels...

[PrincessNancy96]

Hey wait.. You are suppose to be in bed!!!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm NOT #3... I just had my visitor..and after all this news I've swore DH forever!!! He laughed and said.. I wouldn't mind being the #3 for you all.. Yeah, right... so he says now!!!


Oh Heck no!!!!! No #3's for you or me!!!!!!! I am not drinking the DIS water, that is for sure.

OK off to disinfect the keyboard, all those cooties are spreading! LOL

[MyLittlePiglet]

Congrats Brooke and Michelle!!!!! It is such an exciting time. If either of you have girls I have some cute disney outfits to share (DD's have October birthdays) so should more or less be right seasons to fit!!!! Hmm I guess I should ask if your okay with pass-it-arounds (We usually don't call them hand-me-downs) anyway......

And while BAMB says pampers or huggies... for girl at newborn stage I say pampers all the way, but for size one and up we have LOVED BJ's brand of diapers.

I posted on Jenny's thread... my general practioner stopped nursing after a month... so your OB can't be that upset LOL MOst of us on here were formula babies and we are all good (and my sister and I were even 8 weeks premature... if you can give a preemie formula, healthy baby :thumbsup2) anyway if you decide to nurse I can lend some support etc.

SIOH So glad you are finding out the gender, we know what to send etc. Michelle are you too I cannot recall

[PrincessNancy96]

Oh Heck no!!!!! No #3's for you or me!!!!!!! I am not drinking the DIS water, that is for sure.

OK off to disinfect the keyboard, all those cooties are spreading! LOL

Isn't that the truth.. all though when I cleaned today I spread lysol every where.. I think that should kill those germies off!!! It's time to share the mommy wealth with the rest of the world!!!! We need to bring more mommies into our clubhouse!

[MyLittlePiglet]

oh and number 3 won't be me sooner or later.... I'm fixed :rotfl2:

[PrincessNancy96]

oh and number 3 won't be me sooner or later.... I'm fixed :rotfl2:

LOL!
:rotfl2: :thumbsup2

[StitchIsOurHero]

Brooke, I've done told you I'm watching that baby.. after all your BF lives up here so you'll be visiting often.. :lmao: OH, shoot.. should I call your DBF and tell him the exciting news.. maybe I should call the local news channels...

Hey wait.. You are suppose to be in bed!!!!


I know--this is the latest I've been up in FOREVER! I'm off to bed soon, though. I'm just so excited to tell people, so I'm awake!! You know I'll be there to see DBF :rotfl2: . I told DH that we would be ordering a teeny-tiny Colts jersey as soon as we know the gender (it might need to be one of the pink ones, you know??). You know we have to raise a Colts fan!! My baby's first words. . ."and the kick by Vinatieri is GOOD!!"

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok BAMB we need to rework this 40 sec. rule..can it be more like the 5 sec rule..sometimes I get some really good comebacks...and they aren't as funny if they don't post immediately! (5 sec rule like when you drop the oreo on the floor... 5 secs and it's still good.. although my kids say its 10 secs.. once they complain.. mom its on the floor.. its still good pick it up! LOL)

[StitchIsOurHero]

Congrats Brooke and Michelle!!!!! It is such an exciting time. If either of you have girls I have some cute disney outfits to share (DD's have October birthdays) so should more or less be right seasons to fit!!!! Hmm I guess I should ask if your okay with pass-it-arounds (We usually don't call them hand-me-downs) anyway......

And while BAMB says pampers or huggies... for girl at newborn stage I say pampers all the way, but for size one and up we have LOVED BJ's brand of diapers.

I posted on Jenny's thread... my general practioner stopped nursing after a month... so your OB can't be that upset LOL MOst of us on here were formula babies and we are all good (and my sister and I were even 8 weeks premature... if you can give a preemie formula, healthy baby :thumbsup2) anyway if you decide to nurse I can lend some support etc.

SIOH So glad you are finding out the gender, we know what to send etc. Michelle are you too I cannot recall

Thanks!! I know some people want to be surprised with the gender, and that's great, but I'm so not good with surprises!! Plus, I like to plan!! I can't wait! :thumbsup2

[aroyer]

If you want to borrow a 2 year old, I'm more than willing to part with mine right now. :rolleyes1

I've got a fun 2 year old as well! Sassy McFrassy!
I love the princess idea--although I'm not sure my child will ever act like a princess (I never managed it!!!)

Yes well I was the princess growing up and my DD wanted nothing to do with the princesses!

We had no boy names whatsoever for DD, thank goodness she was a girl! We really didn't have one for DS until a few months before he was born and out of no where the name Grant came to me. Good thing DH liked it. :lmao:

[PrincessNancy96]

Hey!! You know what.. Maybe I'll get DH to take me to Terre Haute for Colts camp this year and I'll get DH to get AV's autograph... OMG!!! :) Could you imagine... I'll so go to the Colts shop and buy the little jersey...and the bibs...and the bottle.... We'll have StitchIsOneLovedBaby all deck out!!!

[Michellepooh]

I'm dying to find out if it is a boy or girl. I had 2 ultrasounds with my first that said girl, and then 3 days after my pink baby shower found out it was really a boy!!!! Gotta love modern technology! You can be sure with this one I want at least 7 ultrasounds to confirm as well as a notarized statement from the ultrasound tech! :rotfl2: If this one ends up being a girl - watch out - I will be a pink shopping maniac!

[aroyer]

party: :jumping1:

Congrats Michellepooh!!!!

I am NOT #3 either....

[StitchIsOurHero]

I've got a fun 2 year old as well! Sassy McFrassy!



Wonder if I can sell DH on "Sassy McFrassy" as a name?!?! :rotfl2:

[ddavis860]

I don't know, 40 sec rule is still filling my in box :lmao:

You know that that would make you the COOLEST family member the baby has ever had!! ;) Plus, you'd have to come to Tennessee to resuscitate little old me!! ;)

Yep, they told me DD was 99.9% a boy from the ultrasounds.. she came out and announced it was a girl.. I made them go get my dad to verify... Luckily I had chosen a uni-sex name so I only had to change her middle name...than used what was to be "his" middle name w/ my DS11... worked out pretty well!

I can see you and I going into our ultrasounds with a form letter and a notary public. "Are you willing to sign this and notarize it that you are correct???" :rotfl2:

[123SA]

Congrats Michellepooh!!

(I'm not number 3 either -- 4 kids would be the death of me!!!)


Hey are we all jinxing ourselves??

[aroyer]

Wonder if I can sell DH on "Sassy McFrassy" as a name?!?! :rotfl2:
It is commonly used in this house! :lmao: And not just on the 2 year old, but the almost 8 year old and DH.

[Michellepooh]

Sad thing is, people think I'm kidding about wanting a legally binding document verifying the gender. :rotfl: :dance3:

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm going to be the coolest Auntie she has.. we'll have to tell KAM to move over!!! :):rotfl2: I'm gonna definitely get down there....to the colts camp and TN.... Can you imagine DH's face when I start loading the cart w/ baby Colts stuff soon! He'll go into panic mode.. maybe I'll have to call you to help revive DH!:rotfl:

oh wait until month 8. Insomnia will take hold like never before!
Have you decided if you are going back to work???

OK OK DS7, I will get off the computer!! He's hovering, he wants to do his typing lessons. Did you know they don't teach typing in school anymore??

[ddavis860]

They were pretty sure with my first one, but always the little doubt...

With the second one they were POSITIVE. (oh, and she was giggling)..made me wonder WHY she was so sure....

[PrincessNancy96]

Nope, they sure don't..but they do teach computers.. my kids know more than me.. drives me nuts.. okay, nothing is falling from the sky...but something is in the water... so I'm going to put my kids to bed just in case this storm is a hoax and get me a drink...and explain again to DH why he has to stay away from me! :laughing:

Yep, or when she sneezes and dribbles! :rolleyes1

[PrincessNancy96]

They were sure w/ DS11.. we had to have an amnio... but all came out perfect.. DS7.... he was a easy baby to determine... boys!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm going to be the coolest Auntie she has.. we'll have to tell KAM to move over!!! :):rotfl2: I'm gonna definitely get down there....to the colts camp and TN....

I say let him sweat it until you get almost here! :rotfl2: No, it might send him into too much panic!! I'll tell KAMommy that the "coolest Auntie" title has been taken!! :cool1:

[party of 3]

this is all way too funny!
i'm not #3 either. heck i cant be #3 my name is party of 3! not party of 4!!

[PrincessNancy96]

Please Do... tell KAM she is gonna have to get another title.. I have connections!

Ok, off to get kids taken care of...
Have a great night..and I'll catch up in the morning!
Go to bed the two of you.. you are sleeping for two!

[StitchIsOurHero]

They were pretty sure with my first one, but always the little doubt...

With the second one they were POSITIVE. (oh, and she was giggling)..made me wonder WHY she was so sure....

Gee, y'all give me such fun things to look forward to!! ;) Seriously, I'm looking forward to all of it. Crazy, I know, but true!!

If we could win the lottery, I wouldn't go back to work! If there is any way at all that I can stay home, that's what I want to do. I don't foresee that happening, though. I'm fortunate in that Mom retired this past May, and she lives about 2 1/2 minutes from where I work. She said she would keep the baby while I was at work, so the babysitting part is someone I love and trust. :)

[StitchIsOurHero]

Go to bed the two of you.. you are sleeping for two!

Yes, Auntie Nan--we're off to bed!! :rotfl2:

So does this mean that you want to wait to post sign-ups? I can do it sooner than later if you are OK with neutral but I'm good waiting a while to start sign-ups if you want to wait.

It's all about you!

[StitchIsOurHero]

[vanyel]

Congratulations,

That's wonderful news. Enjoy every minute of being pregnant- it's an amazing time. And, the maternity clothes are so much better than when I was pregnant 27 years ago.

[mickeyfan2]

Congrats!!!!

Time for another baby book!!!

[Faerie]

So, SIOH - tell DH, I'll be sending a Red Sox onsie your way. If you're going to torture the kid with Colts gear, he/she should at least be well dressed with the World Champion Red Sox (and I'm sure your DH agrees with me) :banana:

Many congrats to you and to Michelle! :hug:

[KAMommy]

And I am so excited for you!! I can't wait to take JohBaby with us on the Schro-Joh vacations!

I forgot to congratulate Michelle...

Pooh carts and a baby, it's going to be a great year for you! :rotfl2:

Take care of yourself(ves)!!!

[YodasMom]

Congratulations to you, too, Michelle!!! That's great news and very exciting!! I hope you have a very happy, health pregnancy!

Take care!!!

[Michellepooh]

Thanks everyone!

Hope - I think it must be destiny that the Pooh carts are being released at this time! Think of all the great Pooh baby pages I can do!! (like I'll have time to scrap with a newborn! :rotfl: )

[Queenie]

That's brilliant news, I'm so happy for you!!!

That4happened to me- except it was the other way around. I was told is was a boy then found out she was a girl- Thank goodness it was before my shower. The pink / purple shopping began. The first thing I did was hire someone to paint a garden on her wall. I loooooooooooove her room!

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

(like I'll have time to scrap with a newborn! :rotfl: )

yeah, not so much! :rotfl2:

I know--this is the latest I've been up in FOREVER! I'm off to bed soon, though. I'm just so excited to tell people, so I'm awake!! You know I'll be there to see DBF :rotfl2: .

My baby's first words. . ."and the kick by Vinatieri is GOOD!!"

That's so funny because back in the day when we had Vinatieri to kick for us my DD would stand in front of the tv with her hands raised in the air yelling ''it's good again Daddy'' Such awesome memories:cheer2: Congrats and best wishes!

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

Hey Brooke, do you love all the Pooh characters or just specifically Pooh Bear? And is your nursery going to be 'classic pooh' or 'disney pooh'? (sorry if you mentioned this already!)

[PrincessNancy96]

OH, I am so darn behind.. I have given DH the lecture from heck...and he is apologetic...but does he realize it is going to take me hours to catch up... I may not get any sleep tonight...and now they are going to talk why I type..these boys need to get a clue!

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok, I'm now cut up on this thread..now to the others...

[Downrivermama]

Brooke, I'm so happy for you and dh! You've got to be so excited. :cloud9:

Many congrats to you and to Michelle! :hug:

You know DH thinks we're going to put Red Sox gear on this child. . .we have an agreement that we get as much Yankees' stuff as we do Red Sox stuff! ;) DH'll be all about a Red Sox onesie!! :)

Hey Brooke, do you love all the Pooh characters or just specifically Pooh Bear? And is your nursery going to be 'classic pooh' or 'disney pooh'? (sorry if you mentioned this already!)

I love all of the Pooh characters! The whole gang!! The nursery is going to be Disney Pooh--it makes me happy! ;)

Thanks again, everyone, for all of the congratulations!! Telling you all has made it even more real!!

[jennyL]

Woohoo girls. Just checking in for a few minutes and saw the great news.

I can't wait to hear how everyone's pregnancy progresses. Since I've just had my little one let me know if you have any questions.

[happypooh]

Wow! I don't read disboards for less than 48 hours and look what happens!!! congratulations! Such awesome awesome news! And don't worry..you'll have time to scrap and swap as you will not sleep...kiss those leisurely 8-10hours goodbye!!! Even though my DD doesn't wake up at night to nurse (except occasionally) my body still wakes me up every 4 hours! Aghghghgghhhh! Having tried to get pregnant for 11 years before our first baby, I know what it's like to try to have a baby and how hard it can be - sounds like the temperature chart really worked for you!! Absolutely fantastic Brooke!!! So very happy - your future trips to disneyworld will be soooo different (and so wonderful!) as you see the world through your baby's eyes!
