Now that I've shocked you all with the unexpected news of the new baby... I suppose I should explain that I haven't died of shock or fallen off the planet. Actually, I received a late birthday gift from my sister the Thursday before last. My sister Julie, bought me the 4-set Twilight series for my birthday, back in August, and they just arrived about a week ago. I started reading them the day they were dropped on my doorstep and I'm still reading... I've completed the first two and now I'm close to finishing the 3rd. There were a few chapters in New Moon that I had trouble being excited to read, but with that exception, I'm loving the books. Very entertaining and I can agree that it's a addicting series! (Of course, for those of you who haven't read them, I can't discuss why I found a few chapters to be less than interesting, because I don't want to give anything away.) But anyway...I've been so busy reading, that I haven't done much of anything else.
Here's the baby update: I went to the doctor on Tuesday and they confirmed with their own test, that I am in fact pregnant. I suppose that 2 positives most likely don't make a negative. The doctor guessed that I may be due on June 8th. According to the pregnancy calculator, I should be due on June 1st. ---But I'm not really sure I believe either of those dates. So on November 5th I have an ultrasound appointment to date the pregnancy. I'll let you know what the results are.
---I'm trying to get excited about another baby, but it's hard when the last one is 17 months old and still isn't sleeping through the night. We are working on that though. There's been a lot of crying going on and sleep interupted nights in our house the past two days. The crying has just been Versii...I really only cried the day I found out. I'm glad to hear that you're all excited for our new baby! Thanks for the support!

You NEED to read my sleep book. You've gotta!!!
I'm glad you're reading the Twilight series - I loved it! Then we can all go see the movie next month.
I know that everyone has their own baby sleep books that have worked for them or that they swear by, but I think that you should try "12 Hours Sleep by 12 Weeks Old", it seriously worked wonders for me and I have a couple other friends who it totally worked for too. I am someone who desperately needs sleep so when I heard about this book I tried it and it was absolutely wonderful. I had Porter sleeping 12 hours at night by the time he was 9 weeks old, and he still does. I can count on one hand how many times he has woken up in the middle of the night since he was 9 weeks old and it was when he was ready to start eating solids and another time when I think he had a night terror, but he always went right back to sleep. I have always been able to put him down at night and I don't even worry about going back in until 12 or 13 hours later. Some people would say it is just because I lucked out and he is a good sleeper, but he is a good sleeper because I trained him to be by following the book. And the book is a short, simple book that is straight to the point. I had also read "Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child" and it helped to give me some background info about sleeping that helped me to understand the basics and root of everything. Anyway, this is probably more info than you wanted and I don't want to seem pushy, but if you have any questions I am totally here. Good luck!
Oh, and I just wanted to say, told you so about "Twilight." SO GOOD!!
I'm glad you like the books....when do you find time to read them???

OH Just saw Amy's post. agree. agree.
megan was a TERRIBLE sleeper at first but I followed the Baby whisperer techniques and it worked wonders. Same experience as Amy actually. It's alot of work but SO worth it in the long run!!!

Joy -- I just finished the Twilight books last month and loved them. I wasn't as into the third book as the rest and I had a hard time getting into the Jacob sub-plot in the second book, but all in all I couldn't put them down. Did you know you can go to Stephenie Meyer's website and read her version of Twilight from Edward's point of view? I personally think it's way better than from Bella's view. And it is kind of pathetic that I am analyzing this so much. :)
I guess the good news about being pregnant is that you have 9 months to get excited about a new baby! Good thing they don't come right away. :)
