THIS or THAT A little questionaire about the baby's we are trying to conceive right now...

Find out the Sex before the baby is born or Not? I am on the fence about this one. We will see when it happens!
Picking out a Name before the baby is born or waiting to meet the baby first? Definitely picking out the name first.
Baby Shower or No? Of course, how much fun are they. Also, considering how many I have given, I am pretty sure some people owe me!!
Baby Shower before the Baby is born or After? Definitely before.
Men at the Baby Shower or Just The Girls? I think just girls.
Taking a Babymoon before the Baby arrives or just staying close to Home? Well, we have been taking baby making moons the whole 14 months....LOL! We have two vacations scheduled this year, so if they turn out to be babymoons, great!

Natural Childbirth or Meds??? As much as I would love to say au naturale, I know me and I will probably have meds.
Hospital Bed or Home Birth or Other? Definitely hospital
DH Cutting the Cord or the Dr doing it? I hope DH will want to do it. I am sure he will.
DH involved and holding your hand during labor/delivery or DH passed out on the floor? DH will be very engaged. He is a rock when it come to me needing him.
Lots of Visitors while in Labor or None? Doesn't really matter to me. I wouldn't mind a crowd at the birth either, as long as DH is the only male! LOL. I am bashful, I guess....
Just Mommy and Daddy there for the Delivery or Other Special People too? Other special too. I am thinking my mom, maybe a SIL or two (but maybe not, also...we will see), and definitely one of my BFFs, Jen.

Breastfeed or Formula Feed? Breastfeed for as long as possible, hopefully up close to a year.
Pacifiers or Not? Definitely
Cloth Diapers or Disposable? Disposable
Would you rather have a Bald Baby or one with a full head of hair? I love both, so I really don't care. I have a feeling our baby will have hair, though.
Co-sleeping or Baby in a basinette/crib? Bassinette for sure...co-sleeping has risks that I am not willing to take.
Baby Wearing/Sling or just Using your Good Old Arms or stroller? Baby wearing and stroller, depending on the situation.
Make your Own baby food or Be thankful for the People at Gerber and Beechnut who make it? I will probably do a little of both, depending on convenience. I love to cook, so I am definitely not opposed to making my own baby food. It sounds fun to me.

Find out the Sex before the baby is born or Not? Yes! I used to want it to be a surprise, but DH REALLY wants to know, so now I do!
Picking out a Name before the baby is born or waiting to meet the baby first? I'll probably have it narrowed down to 2 names, and whichever "fits" will be the name. Unless 1 name is unanimous beforehand.
Baby Shower or No? Yes! A combined one with my family and DH's.
Baby Shower before the Baby is born or After? Before.
Men at the Baby Shower or Just The Girls? Just the girls.
Taking a Babymoon before the Baby arrives or just staying close to Home? Nah- we rarely go away as it is, so I will just be sticking close to home.

Natural Childbirth or Meds??? Meds. No denying it!
Hospital Bed or Home Birth or Other? Hospital
DH Cutting the Cord or the Dr doing it? I have no idea! Never asked him. Haha!
DH involved and holding your hand during labor/delivery or DH passed out on the floor? Oh he'll be so freaking excited- holding my hand for sure!!
Lots of Visitors while in Labor or None? Depends on who it is. I should make a "VIP list" LOL. Certain family members would stress me out. Others would calm me down!
Just Mommy and Daddy there for the Delivery or Other Special People too? Perhaps my mom and MIL... haven't really thought that far ahead.

Breastfeed or Formula Feed? Breastfeed for a while.
Pacifiers or Not? Definitely
Cloth Diapers or Disposable? Disposable
Would you rather have a Bald Baby or one with a full head of hair? I'd love to see a full head of curly hair!
Co-sleeping or Baby in a basinette/crib? Bassinette or crib.
Baby Wearing/Sling or just Using your Good Old Arms or stroller? Probably both.
Make your Own baby food or Be thankful for the People at Gerber and Beechnut who make it? I *heart* Gerber! LOL

Find out the Sex before the baby is born or Not? We will not be finding out. I can't wait to hear it announced in the delivery room!
Picking out a Name before the baby is born or waiting to meet the baby first? I'm sure we'll at least have it narrowed down to just a couple. But I think we'll have a male and female name chosen by the time the baby is born.
Baby Shower or No? Yes, can't wait!
Baby Shower before the Baby is born or After? Before
Men at the Baby Shower or Just The Girls? Most likely just girls
Taking a Babymoon before the Baby arrives or just staying close to Home? We travel occassionally and will continue to do so, I don't think we'll take a specific trip just for that purpose.

Natural Childbirth or Meds??? Possibly natural, but I'm very open to an epidural.
Hospital Bed or Home Birth or Other? Hospital
DH Cutting the Cord or the Dr doing it? DH can do it if he wants (right now I don't think he really has a strong desire to do it, but that might change in the delivery room)
DH involved and holding your hand during labor/delivery or DH passed out on the floor? Definitely involved.
Lots of Visitors while in Labor or None? None while in labor...lots after the birth.
Just Mommy and Daddy there for the Delivery or Other Special People too? Just us.

Breastfeed or Formula Feed? Breastfeeding
Pacifiers or Not? Pacifiers
Cloth Diapers or Disposable? Disposable (although looking into cloth)
Would you rather have a Bald Baby or one with a full head of hair? full head of hair please!
Co-sleeping or Baby in a basinette/crib? Baby in crib
Baby Wearing/Sling or just Using your Good Old Arms or stroller? Not completely sure. I think I'll have a carrier, but not necessarily a sling. Will definitely have a stroller too.
Make your Own baby food or Be thankful for the People at Gerber and Beechnut who make it? I'm sure I'll buy a lot, but I've considered making some too. We'll see what time allows.

THIS or THAT A little questionaire about the baby's we are trying to conceive right now...

Lots of Visitors while in Labor or None? visitors are fine until the magic starts happening
Just Mommy and Daddy there for the Delivery or Other Special People too? NONE! Unless I need my mommy. :biggrin:

Breastfeed or Formula Feed? Breast if I can.

THIS or THAT A little questionaire about the baby's we are trying to conceive right now...

Find out the Sex before the baby is born or Not? Yes, I'm a planner so I want everything all ready!
Picking out a Name before the baby is born or waiting to meet the baby first? Before for sure, but we won't be telling anyone until the baby is born
Baby Shower or No? I'd love to have one! Hopefully someone will throw me one!
Baby Shower before the Baby is born or After? Before definitely. I'd panic if I didn't have most of the stuff we needed all ready!
Men at the Baby Shower or Just The Girls?Just the girls. With our families, the guys all end up congregating at a bar and hanging out during the shower, but DH will definitely make an appearance at the end to say Thank you (and help carry gifts!)
Taking a Babymoon before the Baby arrives or just staying close to Home? We might take short trips, but nothing major.

Natural Childbirth or Meds??? I'd like to go natural, but I can totally foresee myself thanking the nice Drug man for visiting me!
Hospital Bed or Home Birth or Other? Definitely Hospital
DH Cutting the Cord or the Dr doing it? I'd like DH to do it, but he keeps saying no... he'll probably change his mind though
DH involved and holding your hand during labor/delivery or DH passed out on the floor? My DH will more than likely be passed out in the corner for some of the birth! LOL, but once he comes to, I'm sure he'll be a really great support for me!
Lots of Visitors while in Labor or None?Visitors are more than welcome while I'm in labor, but they can't comment on how I look.
Just Mommy and Daddy there for the Delivery or Other Special People too? It'll be just DH and I. We want it to be a special bonding time for the baby and us.

Breastfeed or Formula Feed?Hopefully Breastfeeding, but also pumping so others can feed the baby
Pacifiers or Not? Pacifiers for us
Cloth Diapers or Disposable? Disposable, but I've been thinking of cloth more and more
Would you rather have a Bald Baby or one with a full head of hair? Probably Bald... but I don't know
Co-sleeping or Baby in a basinette/crib? Basinette or pack and play
Baby Wearing/Sling or just Using your Good Old Arms or stroller? I'll use a carrier of some sort, but not all the time... strollers are great too!
Make your Own baby food or Be thankful for the People at Gerber and Beechnut who make it? I'd love to make some, but I doubt I'll be able to do it all... Like Jackie, I *heart* Gerber!

THIS or THAT A little questionaire about the baby's we are trying to conceive right now...

Find out the Sex before the baby is born or Not? We did with AJ, we aren't going to with the next one.
Picking out a Name before the baby is born or waiting to meet the baby first? We already have our names. A boy name will be decided once we see him (out of the choices we have decided we like)
Baby Shower or No? I will probably have one put on by friends/family, but it will be very small
Baby Shower before the Baby is born or After? Probably after since we aren't finding out the gender and that way if we have a girl they can all bring cute girl stuff
Men at the Baby Shower or Just The Girls? Probably just the girls
Taking a Babymoon before the Baby arrives or just staying close to Home? We sorta did that with AJ, we might do it again - going to our family home in Texarkana.

Natural Childbirth or Meds??? I have done meds, I would like to try natural.
Hospital Bed or Home Birth or Other?I would love to try a home birth, not sure I will survive it though.
DH Cutting the Cord or the Dr doing it? DH isn't a big blood person and I am not sure if he wanted to with AJ, but since there was michonium (sp) in the water when they broke it they wisked AJ away right away so Tony didn't get to do it then. Not sure if he will want to.
DH involved and holding your hand during labor/delivery or DH passed out on the floor? He will hold my hand/leg/foot just like last time.
Lots of Visitors while in Labor or None?I didn't have any last time cause they were unsure but I don't think I would have minded.
Just Mommy and Daddy there for the Delivery or Other Special People too? Probably just Mommy and Daddy. Not sure I could handle my MIL being there or not.

Breastfeed or Formula Feed? Breastfeed
Pacifiers or Not? Depends on if the baby like it. AJ did.
Cloth Diapers or Disposable? Disposables at first, but I want to do cloth diapers.
Would you rather have a Bald Baby or one with a full head of hair? hair - AJ had it and it was so adorable!
Co-sleeping or Baby in a basinette/crib? Bassinette in our room for about 3 months then moved to his/her crib
Baby Wearing/Sling or just Using your Good Old Arms or stroller? All of the above.
Make your Own baby food or Be thankful for the People at Gerber and Beechnut who make it?I would like to try to make some of our baby food so a little of both probably.
