Things have gotten CRAZY. I'm freakin having a baby soon! It seems as if half my DDC already had their babies... all in January. I have been procrastinatinating sooooo much. But finally I have stocked up on diapers and formula. I can finally wash all her clothes. I need to finish packing the hospital bag and a bag for Ryan.

I feel really bad because we can't really have a 2nd birthday party for Ryan. I will seriously JUST be getting out of the hospital the day before his birthday. So we were thinking of just having a little small family party. But that breaks my heart. We did order him the one thing we have SWORE that we would get him for a while. A big giant Power Wheels Truck. The stupid thing cost as much as our car payment. Power Wheels Ford F-150 Raptor 12-Volt Battery-Powered Ride-On - Walmart.com But that will be waiting for him when I get home. I don't know what else to do? We don't have family and friend support around.

Ok... I'll get off my sad slippery soapbox now...

Glad to see you popping back in and saying hello!!! That's exciting that soon enough you will have your little girl. I know what you mean about his birthday party. We are doing a birthday party for Noah this weekend, but I'm so exhausted and pregnant that I feel like I can't put 100% into it. What about having a party like in a month or so? It'll be late but he won't know that? Otherwise, I think a small family party will probably be just fine. We were just talking that next year, Emilee will probably get the big party and Noah won't and then we'll probably just switch off every year.

He is 2 and will not remember if he has 30ppl or 4 ppl at his party. You could do his party before you have LO or wait and do it after if you really want to put everything into it but I've learned not to stress over party but that comes w/ kids getting older.

He will love the Truck.

Agree with Cathy, and I'm so regretting lil Lee's on the 11th. I think I'm crazying for having a big one 2 weeks before hes due.

Alek's birthday is a week from this Sunday and I still don't know what we're gong to do. I'm thinking just going out for pizza with both sides of the family, but that's like 20 people, but no kids under the age of 7 I'd like to invite the 2 boys in his daycare class that he plays with, but I don't know.

I would agree to do a birthday party for Ryan later. He's not going to know the difference right now. There will be enough people coming to the house to see the new baby that it'd be too much for me to handle.
