everything but the kitchen sink. which is a good thing since i puked in it for 10 minutes yesterday.

thank you all! such sweet, sweet, sweet comments. seriously, it made me teary eyed. not that any of you said anything about it-but i am taking it personally. and elizabeth, you're right. not everyone is the A type early over planner like me.

one, i don't care so much about a shower. it'd be nice, but not it's not the end of the world. i am really picky about what i want and i do not want a bunch pink frilly crap. and, i hate to say it, but if our wedding gifts were any indication..... God bless 'em, but my southern relatives don't get me. Aunt Katherine thanks so much for adding a rabbit adorned silver platter to my registry. i did forget! and who new that you could add things to it. and dear MIL! thanks for the grape wine silver platted kit! with my name on it. who doesn't need a cheese slicer, too small cutting board! and dear BIL i love the fake red bird! though, i am still confused as to it's use? a lawn ornament? (a side of bitter anyone??)

holy freakin pukeman! i can't stop. i puked or felt like puking for hours three times this weekend. i am in the 2nd trimester! i think it may be the earl grey tea i've been drinking. we'll see.

though, i've been feeling her move a bit. *sigh* *sigh* sigh* i hit snooze before work on saturday and she was all-i'm awake-let's play circus in this big dark place! so i got up. silly girl. she feels like a warm furry ferret in there. it's funny. k felt her kick for the first time yesterday. he said it was weird. but so sweet. i agree.

I'm so glad that you got to feel her kick and that K felt it too!!!!! Isn't that the grandest moment?!?!? I loved feeling Raffy kick for the first time, and a few days later V felt him too. I'm so happy for you!!!

Just catching up.....

Congratulations on your DAUGHTER. That's awesome news. And did I ever breathe a sigh of relief when I learned that, like me, you are SO not into super pink, ultra-girly things. I am not either and hope not to get gifts like that if we find out we are having a girl.

As for the shower situation, it is so hard to find friends who can and/or are willing to dedicate that kind of energy to friends. Honestly, I have moved on from lots of people because they were clearly not giving even remotely as much as I was. It's a life challenge, I think.

XOXO

I hope your stomach calms down some. I didn't have a shower for my little girl and I still got lots of pink frillly crap! Even when I said, " no pink frilly crap." Course I'm from Texas too ;)!

[My Reality]

I got some really crappy wedding gifts from my in-laws, too, and they aren't southern!

I hope you are feeling better soon. Maybe a touch of a stomach bug?

[Ms. Planner]

Love the ferret analogy. So appropriate.

Puking at 21 weeks is no fun. And no fair. Please check in with your doc. They can help with that and check your thyroid, too.

I was smiling at your Southern wedding gift list. One of my dearest friends was married in Greenville, SC (married to a Texan, too) and received no less than 7 silver platters. You can never have too many, I guess.

Sorry for the pukin'--hope that vanishes soon!
Ohh I have a closet full of southern-style wedding gifts...
Im sure it was extremely cool for K to feel the wee-one kick!

[jesspond]

A ferret!! LOVE IT! Hahaha!

I'm glad you're getting the movement ad the kicks and that K's feeling her, too.

HER, Christina! HER!! Your little girl! Isn't that exciting?!

[Farah]

Oh YES southern wedding gifts- I have a few items still in a box labeled WTF. we see it everytime we move. I hold really just donate them to goodwill or something.

Yes If you don't stop puking I'd say call the dr- they can help with that

[JuliaKB]

we don't get outside kicks yet, but my placenta is on the front so it'll be a little while longer, I think.

I am a bit concerned about your puking. Can you indulge my overactive imagination and have your blood pressure checked? They do that at a lot of pharmacies.

And those wedding gifts? Priceless. By which I mean there must be collectors of hideous stuff, maybe even hideous wedding gifts, and you might be able to sell them some of that. Teee-hee-hee...

Ugh! I know about the southern relatives gift giving style. I got some very valuable gifts which are very nice, but are not to my taste at all! My mom's best friend never had any children, and so she passed her mother's Chantilly pattern silverware set on to me as a wedding gift. Only my husband will NOT eat off of silver because he does not like the way it tastes. So it sits, all expensive and antique in a chest on a cart in our dining room. Oh, well.

And SO COOL for K feeling a kick! Very neat!
