Yah, I've known about it for a while now.... 21 weeks to be exact... But as I was shopping for my SIL's baby shower yesterday, I came to the realization that after the pregnancy, there is an actual baby! Crap. I'm not prepared for this!

Sure, I have stuff for her, and Yah, I saved alot of stuff from my first daughter, but I have no idea where she will sleep, where the crib is going to go, or how we are going to fit 4 people (plus animals) into my little 2 bedroom apartment. I mean, DD already thinks her room is too small (it's not) How will she react to sharing it?? Should we just keep the crib in our room? No, There would be no where to walk... Um... maybe we could convert the living room into our room and put the TV in the bedroom? Arg! I'm flipping out!

We do know that we are going to move, but that won't be until after this school year is over. I am insisting on at least a 3 bedroom, if not more. Baby Cecily will need a nursery. I know about all the crap that comes with babies- they need room, man! I haven't even had a shower and I have a room full of stuff my mom has bought at garage sales in storage.

And the baby shower.... everyone keeps asking me when I want to have it. My answer? "Well, she's not due till December.. let say.... End of November-ish?" Maybe this is a bad plan. What with everyone getting ready for christmas (oh, god, I have to deal with that too?) and Thanksgiving, and DDS birthday just 5 days after my due date... How am I gonna do all this???

Crib?  Takes up too much room!  I just let the baby sleep with me.  I actually have one of those box type things that you're supposed to put the baby in when it's sleeping with you.  I've never used it, but if you want it, it's yours.
