IME, so much of what you do or don't do during pregnancy relies so much on instinct and whether or not it feels right. I'm glad you were able to tell your doc that it wasn't the right time and that he supported your decision. Yay good docs!!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cookie, since we're looking at a boy do you think you'll go Bad Badz Maru? Dear Daniel? Or boldly give him a nice pink Hello Kitty nursery?
A few years ago Sanrio had a purple gingham/bee theme going. It was magnificient. [link]

All three of us felt like there was a perfectly healthy little dude in there.
That's so good to hear - really fantastic!

Ya! The words "Perfect" to describe the sprog is most excellent!
ION, I think I was abducted by aliens last night. Must be that. Ya. I think they shoved a tube down my throat and stuck sharp things into my neck. Either that, or I slept really strange and snored a lot last night. But it can't be that, because I don't snore.

Yes, this.

I am a bad HK fan as we've already picked the bedding and it isn't anything Sanrio. We aren't setting up a nursery (yet) so baby and all his things are rooming with us. We wanted something that would work with our stuff and here's what we're gonna get:
We were sorely tempted by this way overpriced bedding set for our boy: [link]
ETA: We are on the lookout for a blue or black HK shirt, though!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.
There needs to be a Star Trek-themed nursery.
Worst possible maternity ward theme: The Matrix, or Borg?

Glam, if you have a car (you live in LA, right?) I'd recommend Craigslist for a crib - you can probably find a used one for next to nothing in excellent condition.
(Generally, I'd recommend Craigslist or local parenting Yahoo groups for almost all newborn stuff - it all gets outgrown so fast that you can find things in almost-new condition for very cheap if not free. Most people are more interested in getting their storage space back than in making money.)

That bedding is gorgeous, Glamcookie. I think I like it even better than the cowboy.
And I will keep a lookout for suitable baby duds!
