Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the first appointment with my doctor!! Friday will be 10 weeks, so I'd Say its about time :)
The doctors office sent me a packet of information to fill out  and bring in, all about my family history and all about my habits and stuff- which I have none. lol After the apointment, we are going to buy a pack of diapers. I joined pampers.com and they sent us coupons and we have a publix coupon to put with it. (yeah, I'm into that couponing thing).

I just bought this stroller. My Mom suggested it, so at some point I saw one in sears I think, and it was awesome. Lightweight, but durable. Amazon said it weighs like 13 pounds or something. Its red, so a girl or boy could use it!
A friend of mine and Mom, is giving us another stroller (along with a ton of other baby items), so Mom or my Grandmother can have that one to use at her house, since the baby might be over there one or two days a week.  See, I planned on quiting my job in February (YAY! YAY! YAY!) to stay at home. But ben thought he was still going to be in School until August. So to help him out with bills (since he was working less hours) I thougth I would go back to work for one or two days a week for the Summer, at the Y.  And my Grandmother offered to watch the baby on those days, since she has summers off. WELLLLL, then ben found out that he graduates in May. So it's really not an issue anymore about me working, but i know my grandmother would still like to have a day a week with it, and she would push it in the extra stroller down her lane several times a day (this was the whole point of the stroller story).

I didnt mention yet that my brother is back from touring with Teal Sound!!! He got back Sunday Night, and brought a friend and Mom made a delicious dinner. my gift-which he just pulled out of his bag to give me, was a Zildjian tshirt. Black. With a skull on it. A cymbal that turns into a skull. lol
He says he still wants to be in the room when I give birth. We'll see.

Another note of good news is that the 'junk room' or 'spare room' in our apartment, is cleaned out! With the exception of a card table and chairs, its ready to start holding baby stuff that we aquire. The same friend thats giving us the stroller, is also giving us a crib and and changing table and more. So it needed to be done.

Well, I will do another post tomorrow after my appointment!
