pacifiers and desitin, oh the things we must buy!

so obviously we have some big news! it's official that we are having a baby boy! we are really excited about it. i always wanted a boy first because i have such great big brothers, and i love it. we have been looking at lots and lots of baby stuff and i am a little overwhelmed with all that we are going to need to buy. i made a list and it's monsterous. the good news is that we made one of our major purchases today, we bought him a crib! it is really cute, and it's pretty unisex so that when we have a girl she could use it too. (side note: i really hate winnie the pooh, i just thought that this was the best announcement!)

today i also went to my best friends baby shower, her name is amber. we have been friends for over ten years and i love her dearly. we always wanted to have babies together and i am so glad that this is happening! the only bad part is that she is living in arizona at the moment. but i still love having someone to talk to about all the crazy things that are happening yay for seeing old friends!

a confession...

i have been reading parents magazine ever since i worked at salmon's office, so probably for about five or six years. i started cause he didn't have any juicy magazines like people or us weekly.. well then it got to the point where i was reading it every month, and it was a little embarassing because i don't have any kids. after i quit working there, i started to have parents withdrawls, and would read it waiting in line at the grocery store, or whenever i went anywhere that had a decent waiting room. now i am happy to say that i have a good reason to read it, and now i have actually paid for a subscription! and got my first issue today! YAY!!!

New Layout!!!

wow, i never ever thought i would figure out html!!! it is a pain! but melissa had told me about getting free scrap book paper online and i did a little research and this is what i came up with.. the only thing i don't get is how to make a really cute header.. i guess i will be calling meli on that one... but none the less i am proud of how this turned out considering my not so great computer skills. go me!!!
