I haven't spent much time looking at baby stuff to buy, because it's still really early and all that, but I will say that if I had to make a decision right now, and if it is in fact a girl (I hope I hope), this is what I would buy because it is FREAKING ADORABLE.



And for a boy, maybe this:



I wish I could skip ahead a couple months to find out if it's a girl or a boy so I could start knitting cute things.

So I'm gladly unemployed. Maybe at some point I'll write a post detailing some of the absurdity of yesterday, but not right now. I'm about to fall asleep typing, which is so annoying. Also, I'm not hungry at all but I keep wanting to eat anyway. And I still feel throw-uppy on top of all that. So far almost everything I've had a craving for is something my mom routinely made when i was a kid. For this reason I have been calling my mom eight times a day begging her to move out here for the next few months to cook for me. Strangely, she has yet to agree.

Jake's mom's neighbor gave us some towels for a wedding present. It was very sweet of her, and we are always in need of towels. Speaking of which, if I were to be so brazen as to post a registry or list of things we need/want, would anyone actually buy us something? I've felt a bit insignificant lately because my mom hasn't seen fit to send our Christmas presents yet, or my birthday presents, or our wedding presents, and I would like to have lovely packages in the mail once in a while.

Obviously, I will expect everyone who reads this to buy extravagant gifts off our baby registry, which will be posted in a few months. Obviously.

I would buy you a present. Don't know about anyone else in the world.

Stitch-and-bitch on Wednesday? Is it April yet? I don't even know.

Thank you! Maybe I'll get around to thinking of things we need around here...

Good grief, is it a whole month already?! I'll make a post on the yahoo group and see if anyone else turns up.

Also, today Jake's mom took us to look at a house for sale. ACROSS THE STREET from your apartment.

Heh! You could live across the street, and then we could have, like, cookouts or something in the summers, in which you and I would be in the kitchen preparing food and doing traditionally female duties, while our husbands stand outside and burn meat on the grill and, I don't know, drink beer and talk about electronics or something.

And then June Cleaver would come by and drop off, like, a home-baked coffee cake.

haha, sounds good. We must immediately invest in frilly aprons.

yes! post registry goodness.

those things also help, muchly, because you can decide which brands you prefer of things you *need* and then when people want to be all helpful and buy you practical stuff they don't drive you up the wall with their horrible choices.

not that you would feel that way, of course, especially not when at the end of your pregancy and hormonal and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the stuff that still needed to be done... nope, it is *not* likely that you would then want to take all of this stuff that is *clearly* not the right kind and shove it down the throat of your m-i-l who is standing there looking for all the world like she expects to be nominated for sainthood for buying you this *crap*....

oh.. wait. that was me.

anyways... make with the registry posting, and start dragging Jake into baby stores now so that you can do all of the product-quality-testing on the furniture. actually, i took a friend and wouldn't let J come. he didn't have the same appreciation for why it was important to try and tear that shit apart as we did. (it's my kid. i knew if any child could find a way to destroy things, it would be my kid. i was right. J thought children were *actually* as helpless as they look. hah! he learned.)

i'm actually a little envious. they came out with all sorts of cool shit for babies right *after* mine grew out of that age bracket.
