Baby Book

I've decided to make my baby a baby book instead of buying one. I figure that this way I can add more photos and tell the story of him without buying a book with a lot of irrelevant sections. If you have suggestion on things to add, by all means let me know. I think it will be a work in progres for a while now. Right now I have finished the pages on what family said when they found out about him, and the ultrasound, and his first kicks, and we're working on his name page, but I think we need to pick a name before we can finish that one.

Registry update

I'm feeling really good about getting everything prepared for the baby. I think this is called the nesting phase. I've updated the registry info, and I'll keep this posting updated here also. I'm only registered on Amazon.com now. I don't really care if things come specifically from Amazon.com. It's just a list of ideas, and brands that looked promising, so here is my master list.

door alarms - we really need these - (registered for on amazon.com)
Contoured Changing pad covers (light blue)(1-2) (target sells a 2 pack by amy coe)
4 - 6 Avent brand nipples
fischer price "rock-a-stack" It's the pyramid of colored rings
Toddler harness

Washington Fantasy Faire

I went with my brother to the Gig Harbor Renaissance Fantasy Faire this last weekend. Since none of my usual garb fit, I had to improvise. I look at this as the baby's first costume. The name tag reads, "Hello, My name is: Sir Not Appearing in This Film." We had a great time and I definitely remembered to sunblock my tummy. Boy, that takes a lot of sunblock!

A song from Marissa

My friend Marissa has thoughtfully written a song to commemorate my transition into the world of the not-so-tiny woman.

The Germans have thoughtfully invented a word (schandenfreuede) for rejoicing at a friends tribulations. I believe that this is a song in the true spirit of the word.

Chorus
O schadenfruede schandenfreuede
I have a friend that's knocked up

She cannot find a shirt that fits
I get to call her "Tissue Tits"

She can't look down and see the floor
She can't go topless anymore

From the skillet into the fire
How do you wash an underwire?
