Little ways I drive Shawn crazy

I figured it was time for a baby update. I am about 14 weeks into my pregnancy. Friday I go for my second doctor visit when we will get to hear the baby's heart beat. Shawn is taking the day off because he doesn't want to miss any of the big appointments as he calls them. Of course, I can't stop thinking about baby stuff, so last night I decided to go through the baby name book I borrowed from Kristi. I've already got a couple girls' names I like but I'm struggling with boys' names. I'm all about unique names considering I grew up with a name nobody else had in school. As I was reading the book, I started a list of favorites. Shawn thought I was crazy. He said why don't we wait until we know if we're having a boy or a girl before we start thinking about names that way we cut the list in half. I said what's wrong with looking at names now. He knew he was going to lose the fight, so he simply gave in and walked away.

I am so proud of our house cleaning efforts the past couple weeks. I am excited to say that I have two dresser drawers and about 1/3 of a closet cleared out for baby stuff already. We are having what will be the biggest Tomlinson Family Garage Sale this Saturday at Thane and Kristi's house in Los Al. Right now, we have our garage packed with boxes to take over for the sale. We are getting rid of so much stuff. Shawn was shocked when we stood and looked at all the stuff. My response was well at least we won't have to move all this to Colorado. But then again we will be replacing it all with baby stuff, so it's not like we're cutting down on the moving. At least the new stuff will all be things we use for the baby though, right? Plus, we don't have tons of extra space in the apartment, so it's not like we can buy every baby gadget out there. We will keep it simple. The next big step will be getting a small storage unit for things like our guest bed and boxes to clear out more closet space for baby. I just figured let's get this stuff done now because I really don't want to be cleaning out the place when I'm 8 months pregnant and it's bloody hot in the apartment. Yes, that's the planner/organizer in me.
