Whooooooa there....... back up the bus..... *checks email*....... ahem..... as someone who has known you and MJ from "the beginning"....back in our bolt days LOL...... i expected a grand announcement =(........i am truly a sad panda

Anyway.... i am so happy for you guys.....I know how much MJ wanted to be a momma, and she is going to be an awesome one.....and Jim, there is so much you have to share with a child, a wealth of knowledge and love.....how lucky can one child be.... Im absolutely thrilled for you both. Much love....... <3

Cloe, coming from you that is special. Yeah, it was a long time ago in Boltland when I lost my internet cherry and met so many wonderful people. It's the special people that one meets that enriches one's life and you are a part of ours. Who could have guessed that a crusty ol' pyrite like me could have been seduced by such an innocent young girl like Melissa!

*** EDIT ***

By the way, Melissa's computer crashed recently and she lost all her email contacts so if anybody wants to connect with her I advise you to PM her your email addy.

Congrats!! That's exciting news!!

Couple of tips that I learned from my munchkin....

1) Plastic dog playpens are your friend--you can get the superyard "kids version" for about $200 or you can buy the "dog version" (which is exactly the same btw except for the picture on the box) for about $40-$60.

2) Most baby "necessities" are crap--you really don't need much more than a good set of bottles (I loved the Avent ones), a pacifier or two, diapers, wipes, a diaper holder thingy (for the unused ones), a small trash can (diapers don't stink that bad, and diaper genies don't really work--I tried two or three), a breast pump (if you plan to do that), the website www.1800diapers.com for diapers and formula, a bed for the wee one, and some clothes and a good stiff blanket for swaddling. I also had a sleep sack thingy for my munchkin when he got a bit older, and I wish I'd have sewn some more after he outgrew that one--one of the better investments.

3) Learn to swaddle--practice now, so that you have the basic technique before you throw a squirming baby into the mix...sounds silly, but the swaddle thing REALLY works!! That way YOU can get some sleep once in a while. Unless you're lucky like me and your little one sleeps the day after he was born for the whole night and has ever since.
