Happy 100th Post!

I cannot believe that I've already written 100 posts, or maybe I can't believe that it has taken me this long to write 100 posts. I'm not sure which one is true. Either way, I thought I would do something special to celebrate this milestone. Originally, I was going to go back over the weekly wisdom from my pregnancy polls, but is seems that I repeated myself a lot. (Hey, it's hard coming up with 35 different things.) So I figured that I would just pick out a few posts with the best advice, as well as a few of my favorites.

6 Weeks - No one will notice that you aren't drinking if you don't make a big deal out of it (Unless, apparently, you are me, and you turn down a glass of champagne while you are trying to get ready for a wedding that you are in. Yeah, that's how my friends figured it out.)

13 Weeks - It's better to eat lots of little meals than fewer large meals and letting yourself get too hungry

18 Weeks - Names will be a hot topic, start thinking early and don't share if you don't want to hear negative responses

23 Weeks - When registering near the new year, make sure to ask if the patterns you like will be continued (Or, even better, wait until after the new year to register for big items if you can. We were told that our stroller/car seat wouldn't be discontinued, but then they were.)

26 Weeks - Baby Bargains is a great book, and you should look into it before you even start thinking about the registry and what you will need to buy (I wish that I had) (I referenced Baby Bargains long after Peter was born, one of the best purchases I made.)

31 Weeks - Don't put off major purchases like furniture for too long, you never know when something will be out of stock and will take 8 to 12 weeks to arrive (We lucked out and our glider came long before it was supposed to, it was originally supposed to arrive in May...)

36 Weeks - Pack your hospital bag since (as everyone keeps pointing out to me) you can go at ANYTIME now

39 Weeks - Take your car seat to be inspected, just to make sure it is installed correctly, and they give you a lot of other useful information

Welcome Peter Joseph! - I don't think that I need to explain why this one is here

One More Video - I love this sound



Here is a picture of Peter, since he is the reason that we are here.



And finally, I'm compiled a slideshow showing how Peter grew over these past 100 posts. Let's see what I come up with after the next hundred.
