I never packed a bag. I just showed up,”Hey, how you doin’? I’m having a baby here.”

If the diaper leaks, it’s time to go on to the next size. I never tried the cheapo ones, i’m not sure of a difference. I heard the same thing though, that they leak a lot.

And you don’t want that. There is enough to clean up as it is

I’ve so enjoyed your pregnancy chronicle! Can’t wait to read more as the baby grows.

I know you are probably suffering from waaay too much unsolicited advice. I can’t resist passing on a bit of info about night lights, though. There is some concern that they can damage the eyes of young children.

There was a study in Nature a couple of years ago. The results were as follows: (a) 172 children slept in darkness, with 10 percent developing nearsightedness; (b) 232 slept with a night light, with 34 percent becoming nearsighted; (c) 75 slept with a lamp on, with 55 percent developing myopia.

You can read more at:

(you have to scroll down the page a little).

Of course a nightlight would be good for *you* to keep you from tripping in the dark. Maybe you could use one in the hall?

All the best!

I certainly wouldn’t presume to tell you what supplies you need for your baby, but I can give you a great deal on some Tony Robbins inspirational CD’s… ha… Late one night, three years ago, during my first pregnancy, I caved into the pressure and made the three easy payments…

Best of luck… everything will fall into place…

This is such an exciting time and part of the excitment is buying the “tools”! Also, don’t forget to get your haircut a few weeks before your due date, as you might not find the time later.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing so much of your life. I feel like a godfather of sorts (not the mafia kind) crossing my fingers and wishing for the best for you.

Have you had a baby shower yet? Perhaps you can register for the items on your list and your guests can pick them up for you.

If nothing else, then try to shop for a few items at a time so it’s less overwhelming.

Wishing you well!

They wouldn’t let you have water? I did.

Oh wait, I threw it up on the midwife later. I get it.
