I think my husband's head would have spun around and blown off. :) You both seem to have handled it with such grace.....very admirable and I hope it doesn't happen again for you anytime too soon! :)It always seems that "when it rains it pours". <BR/><BR/>As for the pack & play ~ congratulations! This had to make me laugh because I used to wonder (after my shower) "where is all this stuff going to go ~ it won't all fit in his room". Then I remembered..."oh, ya...the family room"! :) What was once a neat and tidy room is now cluttered with toys, blankets, carseat, diapers, swing....etc. :) But I wouldn't have it any other way! So....enjoy that pack & play ~ it's just a sample of what you've been waiting for and the joys that are yet to come! :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811881680852069678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-92009474525961177182009-02-28T21:23:00.000-05:002009-02-28T21:23:00.000-05:00Hey Rebekah...so the money is already flying out t...Hey Rebekah...so the money is already flying out the door! I hear that starts happening when in your situation:) You do have a really good attitude about it, though! Just wanted to tell you CONGRATULATIONS on baby boy, and that I thought of you (concerning your previous post) while I was at a new thrift store here. You're right...you can totally dress a baby in the latest for a fraction of the cost! I found some great deals:) I'm enjoying hearing about all of your happiness...keep it up!:)Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090421642577437909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-69990633706809634472009-02-28T20:48:00.000-05:002009-02-28T20:48:00.000-05:00Hope the bleeding has stopped:)Hope the bleeding has stopped:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-1005107629006029312009-02-28T14:14:00.000-05:002009-02-28T14:14:00.000-05:00I'm sorry about your money troubles, but so glad t...I'm sorry about your money troubles, but so glad that you and Ben have kept a positive attitude.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that you have little Baby Hearts ultra sound on your fridge to look at!!<BR/><BR/>If I were you, I'd leave the pack and play up. It's just so exciting that you have already made so many preperations.<BR/>Things have changed so much since I was adopted. There were no such things as ultrasounds or open adoption back in the mid 1960's.<BR/>My parents got "THE CALL" when I was about 9 days old and I was placed with them 2 days later. They had not made any preperations, but fortunatly, some family friends loaned them a cradle for me to sleep in. I didn't have any info about my birth parents until I was 35 years old! I'm so glad that things have changed for parents like you and Ben and your precious little Baby Heart!!<BR/>HUGS TracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-63266782916270519932009-02-28T13:15:00.000-05:002009-02-28T13:15:00.000-05:00Ugh, money problems.

Great pack n play - they are the best - we loved ours (Dman has outgrown it!) I used the changing table a lot, but it had a bassinet feature we didn't use with him. I'm guessing there's a good chance we'll use it this time around, though. They are a must-have and go ahead a leave it up! Enjoy every single part of this.
