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.

so much of what you do or don't do during pregnancy relies so much on instinct and whether or not it feels right.

Yes, this.

I realize Taiwan is awfully far to travel to give birth. [link]

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?

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:

• Bedding: >[link]
• Crib: >[link]

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!!!

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!
