"Just" a housewife: It's still not fair ;-)

It's still not fair ;-)

David and I are having fun waiting and discussing names. Who knew it would be so hard? Names that I love, he doesn't. Names that he loves, I think they're okay.

I think I'm giving up until we know the sex. Which is in about 16 days...

I found out today a former colleague and friend is due 10 days after me and already knows the sex. That's not fair! See that's my favorite past time these days...complaining!

I'm totally joking, because I seem to be over my cold, over my daily nausea (I clarified daily) and I seem to have more energy at work...I'm still sleeping at the weekend in the afternoons.

And I'm actually looking pregnant rather than just like I ate all the pies...

I'm also practicing great frugality (is that a word?) We bought a rocking chair from a flee market - $40, and we got a rug for the baby room from a friend - free! Now do you think that makes it okay to buy that stroller for $1000? MMmm...I think not!

Since David is asking for name input, maybe I can ask for Stroller advice. Anyone?

Well it could be worse - we didn't find out until month 7! Let's just hope your baby isn't as bashful about showing their goods as Sabina was. :)

Just started reading your blog again, by the way - and it's a great time to be reading!

If you're going for a three wheeler, make sure the front wheel steers, or you'll be forever tilting it. Speaking as a connoisseur of the buggy market, I'd recommend a Phil and Teds Explorer (classic/sport/dash) - they're kind of modular, and you can get interfacing car seats, and stuff. http://www.philandteds.com/

Lesley thinks it's a boy. However, she's been wrong more often than she's been right with ours, so I wouldn't put any money on it.

PS. frugality is a word. However, the phrase is flea market! And by "clarified", do you mean speaking to god on the big white telephone?

would you buy a Robin Reliant? Make sure you can fold and lift the thing (some are really heavy) and it will fit in the boot(trunk to you). Big shopping basket! Definitely 360 degree front wheels
