Because I Have Lots Of Random Things To Say

• I just got a Blackberry and I don't like it. Only because I don't know how it works. Everyone keeps telling me to just give it time.
• I'm pretty sure that Baby is a girl. There are a few "reasons" but mostly, it's a feeling.
• Oh! And I dreamed about her on Saturday night. It was awesome.
• We are pretty set on the names for either gender but won't be telling anyone what they are until Baby arrives.
• I have to be honest and say that I don't think I'll be announcing Baby's real name here on the blog. Maybe we'll have a contest to see what to call her (or him). I don't know. I'm still thinking about all of this. I just didn't want to spring that on you in November.
• I was 9 weeks pregnant yesterday. Baby is now the size of a grape (according to BabyCenter.com) or a green olive (according to one of my books).
• I'm thrilled because I've never been 9 weeks pregnant before. I love, love, love Baby.
• My MIL is driving me crazy! Thank the LORD she lives 8 hours away. (What does we are not finding out the sex mean to YOU? Is that hard to comprehend?)
• I have cut way, way back on my tv watching. I still watch House, Medium, AI, Biggest Loser, Law & Order: SVU, Gossip Girl (when it's ON), Grey's and PP (ditto about never being on), Real HW of NYC, Survivor, Lost (I'm behind), Samantha Who? (YAY it's back). I guess I should've just said what I dropped.
• Foods I crave- Oranges (eat two a day, at least), tacos, peaches, (most fruits and raw veggies), seafood, lemons (and lemonade- which is a GIRL craving, I hear), snowballs, roast beef sandwiches. I have also been craving pizza for a few days. But, I don't want just a regular Papa Murphy's pizza. I want a very specific kind of pizza but I don't know where to find it. I want a thinish crust but not Pizza Hut's thin crust. I don't know. It aggravates Blue.
• I think that no one should discuss (with me) how much I eat/ate/have been eating. I'm PREGNANT!
• Like I've said, we are not finding out the sex of Baby. I've bought three little unisex onesies though. Two are LSU and one is UGA. I already had two UGA ones and one LSU one. So, we have three of each now. My MIL says that she bought some more UGA ones.
• This past weekend, LSU played UGA in baseball. I told Blue that as long as Baby lived inside of ME, s/he is a TIGER! Don't you agree? (BTW, LSU won the series!)
• Praise God for Baby Girl E and all the miracles that He has performed with her and her family!
• I really love Easter. I love what it represents and the time of year. It's a new beginning for all of us. It is a time to celebrate NEW LIFE in all of it's forms. What are your Easter plans? Do you have something special to wear? Do your children? I love little Easter dresses!! What do you usually eat for Easter? I think I'm going to bake something cute and Eastery.
• On Easer Sunday, we are all going to my grandparents' house. The fourteen of us.
• Oh, and speaking of that, the 50th anniversary party was a huge hit. Everyone looked great and had a wonderful time. There were over 100 guests, the band was excellent and I've never seen my grandmother so happy. I am so proud of them- of who they are and to be their grandchild.
• My PaPa made a speech (of course! If you knew him, you would not be surprised) and in it, he announced that not only are they married 50 years this year but they will also be great-grandparents this year. I was very touched and proud. yes, proud, even though all I'm doing is peeing every two minutes and eating and being nauseated every.single.night.
• You are the best advice givers ever so, I think that every day I am going to ask a baby/children/pregnancy question. You know, like the Dreft question. And the diaper bag one, too.
• Re the diaper bag- I'm on the lookout for Oi Oi diaper bags. I don't know which one yet though.
• Today's question- Who spoils your children the most? You, your spouse (their other parent), your mom/dad, his mom/dad? And don't forget to tell me aobut Easter outfits.
