i thought i had the answers to all, until i got that "positive" on the pregnancy test.
Asilentone, great advice, and definitely something I plan on doing!
I've already got some women telling me their horror stories. I suppose I'm just listening as though it can happen, not that it necessarily will happen. I am a little surprised at some of the comments I've received so far. Some people just lack filtering skills. When my jw sister was pregnant, I was shocked that other jdubs would say things like "Oh, you're so brave. We wouldnt DARE have a baby in this system of things"

Hehehehe, Zidd..... btw, Im sending you a pm .
Yep, this is baby #1! We can't find out if its a boy or girl until week 20 (or month 5). Its so confusing because technically they say a woman is pregnant for 40 weeks, or TEN months. We dont have a 'theme' in mind yet, though we're going to have to do some painting.
So, here is my ignorant question: If you dont own a changing table, where do you change the baby?
Also, I've heard the Diaper Genie is CRAP. Any other suggestions? Dont they make something similar that just takes regular grocery or trash bags?
Leaving WT, a friend of mine loaned me her copy of that book. I hope I dont get any of those ailments listed! So far, everything seems normal.

MMXIV, awwwwww, I love the sound of getting a tshirt that says GUILT FREE ZONE
Thanks everyone! Me & hubby are both faded, though he's a little worried about having a Christmas tree in the house. And it didnt help matters when we went to a Christmas party on Saturday night and Santa made an appearance. 3/4ths of small children were petrified

With this situation that happened recently (see link below), my protective instincts have kicked in big time. While I've been able to put up with a lot of "You shouldn't do thats" and "You're breaking Jehooba's heart", I will NOT allow anyone to put that guilt on my new little one.
I don't know whether I should go ahead and talk with the jw families and let them know that if the little one goes to their house and talks about a friends Birthday party, that they will not tell them they are wrong. Or maybe I should just wait till the time comes....? OOOOOOohhhhh, I'm so excited I'll be even more excited when I quit wanting to vomit and sleep 24/7
i will volunteer to coordinate this.. if you would like a card sent to you or send a card, pm me your mailing address and a name the post office will deliver to.. what do you think the cut off date should be for sending the exchange lists out to everyone?.

Oh, I sure wish I'd put "LAST" on my cards, but I already sent them out, OBVES. I'll remember to do that next year....Oh wait.....
So if the world doesnt end next year, be sure to join the Xmas card exchange....we can add some joy to your life.

It was under $8 bucks to send to the people outside the U.S.A....I forgot I already had the US postcard stamps

I sent all my cards today. It was under $8 U.S.A. dollars . I cannot believe that there were over 20 people who are doing it this year!
i just found an envelope outside my door.
as i picked it up, it felt a little heavy.
inside, there is an awake, and print-out, and a hand written note:.
OOoooh BennyK, thats a good one

His priveleges were removed when I lived at home. I havent lived at home for 13 years, so he was able to become an elder a few years ago.
I've always been VERY careful not to get caught when celebrating holidays. I hate causing a stir....hate causing conflict. But now I feel there is no need for a conflict. People should allow me to do what I want. I don't feel that celebrating holidays is wrong, so they should not get upset. And if they do, well, I'll take a second look at my actions ONCE THEY TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR RELIGION.

Haha, no Aguest, he wasnt hiding behind curtains. lol
I actually just had to call him about something else (its my father, ok?? hehe, I was trying not to add that detail but now I feel I must. My ELDER father is who dropped off the info). After we discussed the 'other' thing, I said "Is there anything you would like to discuss with me?" To which he replied, "No, I'm good. I'm fine. Have a good evening."
What aggravated me is that I didnt even INVITE him to where I was. He came by unannounced one day and, BAM, there was my Christmas tree. (lookin' mighty beautiful, I might add) . He didnt say anything at the moment, and that was over a week ago. I wondered if it was just pure shock on his part. He KNOWS that I no longer want to be a witness, but he's never seen me doing anything blatently anti-jw.
I feel good for returning his mag
