Random going-ons:
Everybody is very excited that the baby is a girl. My sister because she guessed right and she never does, my grandma who said it had "better be" a girl says she’s very excited for her to come now. My shop mama Vicki literally ran around the shop yelling, stopping to hug me again every few seconds.

I had brought in a bag and told them I had something to show them for the baby. They were excited, cause, y’know, cute baby things. I pulled out two super girly outfits, and they both stopped and frowned. Finally Vicki went, "Are you…having a girl?", I nodded, and she went nuts.

We FINALLY have discussed names a bit and have a list of ten names that we’re considering. I really like one of them in particular, and I think Jonathan likes it a lot, too.

I think I’m keeping the name secret until birth for everyone I know "irl". I haven’t yet decided if I’ll share online…hmmm….

Jonathan finally told his parents. We’d been hesitant to because we’re not married and they’re against the whole thing…but we weren’t really expecting his dad to write back with only "When did you two get married?".

Poor Jonathan was so bummed. He was expecting at least a little bit of support…maybe even a congratulations since he’d just sent them pictures of his baby daughter sucking her thumb and being adorable!

His dad did write back later in the evening. Didn’t apologize, but kind of…moved on. And he mentioned they have a swing set in their yard now. I don’t know what his mom said but Jonathan said she seemed excited.

I really appreciate the fact that even though my dad would much rather us be married, he hasn’t said a word and has only been supportive. And my grandparents don’t even seem to care, they’re just excited and they get so thrilled by the ultrasound pictures.

I love fluff mail! I’ve received a few things now, some Fuzzi Bunz, my kissaluvs, some covers. I pull them out every once in a while and hold them and play with them. I just ordered another diaper and three covers. It’s freaking addicting, I’m glad my stash isn’t even half complete because I don’t want to start controlling myself yet! I was already planning on spending $75 or so dollars this weekend on diapers and then Jonathan gave me another $85 to throw towards it, so now I’m scouring diaperswappers.com and also checking out a few sites with sales going on.

*sneaks off to do more diaper shopping*
