On another note, I have recently discovered that I am not immune from memory issues during pregnancy. I read about it. I decided this phenomenon would not happen to me. It has happened. I fondly refer to it as "Pregnant Brain." I think the baby is literally taking brain cells from me for his own use. For example, I forgot about a meeting at school the other day. I don't forget meetings. It was in my lesson plans and on every calendar I own. Someone had to call and remind me to attend. Embarrassing. I took the wrong exit home from work. I'm not sure why. We have cameras that take your picture when you run a red light...I saw the flash and didn't know if it was me or not. I couldn't recall what color the light was when I went throug it. I went to meet Chad at a restaurant that we go to often and I took the wrong road. I actually had to call him and ask him what I did wrong. Embarrassing again. I went to get out of the car after I got home from work and was out of the car and heading inside before I realized I hadn't turned the car OFF. (It was in park at least) It's scary. Chad would like for me to plug all destinations into the GPS. Pregnant brain. Who'd of thought??
On another random tangent, the pregnant comments are starting to annoy me. "Wow, you're a lot bigger than the other girls!" (There are two other pregnant teachers and we're all due within a week of each other) "I really don't think you're going to make it to May 15th." YES I AM! Graham will be a healthy full term baby in spite of his mother looking...like I look. "Are you sure you're not having twins?" This one really gets me. Shall I whip out my ultrasounds for you to analyze? "You look good for being pregnant." No, I just look good. Period. So there. *Sigh* I know nobody means anything by any of the comments...I'm just ultra hormonal right now. It's fine. What was I saying? Pregnant brain.

The toybox is great!!!!! And yes it will be full of toys soon.... I'm working on it!!!!
You have got to be the cutest Mother to be I have ever seen and just ignore any crude remarks... or just take down names and I will gladly give them a call. Ha!!! You know I would. Love you.
Grahams' Mom and Dad created a keepsake toy chest-he is/will be the most blessed little boy. Ditto Emie's comment about the rudeness of (jealous) women. If only everyone could look as good as you do during pregnancy! Hope the brainwaves kick back in for you (ha) Love, Mom
He he - just wait until all of these well intentioned people make comments about Graham. And then all of the expert parenting advice will flow in (even from people who do not have kids). BTW - that toy box is awesome. I have Mommy brain - at least that is what I am telling everyone - it sounds very much like this pregnant brain thing - lol. Can't wait to see you guys.
