I had my first official baby dream Tuesday night and it a doozy to say the least! I had given birth to healthy, happy baby girl four weeks prior to her due date. Ok, nothing weird there, right? Oh no, she weighed in at 9lbs 2ozs... imagine if she had gone full term! Ouch! I had a c-section in my dream but mother and baby we're both totally fine. But, because she was so early, husband and I hadn't purchased anything for her. No crib, no clothes, no bottle, no diapers, we're talking nothin' people. The day we took her home, I looked in the basement and found an old dollbaby bassinet and dusted it off and brought it upstairs. I called my mom, (weird b/c one would think she would have wanted to be there!) and she said the bassinet should be just fine. Through all this choas, husband was very concerned that we had a fat baby. Now, husband and I aren't ever going to be confused with Nichole Richie but we're certainly not going to featured on TLC's Super Obese anytime soon (keeping my fingers crossed)! However, throughout this prenancy we both have been concerned about what I'm eating b/c we don't want the baby to develope bad eating habits already! It's just funny b/c husband kept looking at her saying, "She's a big one!" It was very interesting.
So, Monday I have an ultrasound scheduled for a genetic pre-screening. The baby will be 11 weeks 4 days so hopefully we'll get some great pictures!
As for me, my clothes are pretty tight and today I'm sitting here in my very fashionable, very hip Target maternity pants! Go me! The morning sickness has gotten better and I'm even up to making dinner and doing the laudry when I get home from work.

Have fun on Monday....you'll see a lot more this time. - Wendy
Just to let you know a little story...Jimi's sister gave birth to her daughter many weeks early (I am not sure of the number), and Jimi and I rushed to Babies R Us and bought EVERYTHING for the new baby.
Turns out, when we got down there to visit the kiddo in the NICU, that it is almost always a rule that the hospital will not let a preemie OUT of the hospital until their due date. So it isn't a problem not to have stuff in advance, as long as hubby (or other family members) can finish up the shopping before the original due date.
*hugs*
