Holy Crap, It's (gonna be) a Boy!

Once again, I have been very remiss in blog upkeep, but this time I have a good excuse... It's hard to think of clever posts, or undertake clever things to post about, when you've been spending a good 20 hours a day fighting morning (all day) sickness.  But there's light at the end of the tunnel and I've rejoined the rest of the world (in altered form) again, finally.  We won't mention the fact that I feel like a swollen whale.  Now I know why I waited 41 years to do this!

There's been much practicing and preparing for 'junior's' arrival in early May.  We ordered diapers (we're trying our hand at cloth diapering...gulp), we've got our baby-wearing devices, and we're stocking up on onesies.  But since there's no baby around yet to test them on, we've had to make due with some (un)willing and able guinea pigs...(please don't cite me for animal abuse, they really were quite content - well, as much as a cat in a diaper can express contentedness).

The chickens, so far, have been spared.

  1. Haha! That is totally what will happen to our creatures when we are eventually pregnant. They are loving the attention. I can tell. (Especially the kitty in the t-shirt.) Awesome!

    1. It's amazing what you do when you're childless and your pets are your children, isn't it? The problem is, I doubt this will stop even when I'm not childless ;-)

    1. Thanks! This should mean more pyrex finds for you...now I'm on the hunt for baby stuff (with a pyrex thrown in here and there!)

  3. Haha! Your cat looks identical to my cat Jack! Except Jack is 16 lbs of muscle and would never succumb to any of the above activities your kitty was subjected to :-)
