okay, mom with three kids here who had them just before the 2008 recession. Relax. When they are little; they don't cost a whole lot. You can claim them on your taxes. They don't need as much crap as the parenting magazines seem to suggest they do. You won't start crying until they hit college. Then your wallet will cry.

Watch for sales and start collecting diapers now. (Either that or start collecting cloth, cloth was awesome with my third because it prevents blow outs but the work to wash them!) Hit up stuff like Goodwill and Savers for clothing; its not worth buying new; you can often find stuff with the tags still on it.

My friend had a baby a year ago and she only uses clothes diapers. One thing for sure to get during the actual pregnancy is one of those "C" shaped pillows. I dont know the name but everyone with kids that I know swears by them.

Also Happy Birthday, Kalania!

I grew up with stuff like Are you Being Served and Grace and Favour.

Just popping in to say Are You Being Served? was great. It came on at 10:30pm Sunday nights on the local PBS station, and I'd stay up late and watch it with my dad.

Onesies you can never go wrong with Onesies either
For babies that is and if she is Vyrerus congrats?

You'll definitely want to check out Grace and Favour then! It's the sequel....its pretty funny. (the petrified cat joke stands out in my mind)

Thank you Slouchybard!

yeah definitely the big C pillow; probably on Amazon under pregnancy pillow. Trust me; its needed when you're at the 8-9 month point.

I adored cloth, but with my oldest two we were in an apartment with a shared laundry. The blowouts though; With my son; the cloth held every single one. I'd do it again every single time. (If I was unlucky enough at this point to get pregnant at 39; I watch that stuff like clockwork now; NFP)

Yeah. If I ever have little ones, I am going the cloth route. I've seen the prices of diapers and it amazes me how much they are. I just hope they still don't have the formula shortages they had for quite a while.

I occasionally will watch a dog, granted not a kid, and I opted for cloth diapers for him verse the doggy 1 time use ones they offer. Cloth is the way to go.

I could be calm today.

I could just tend to flowers, bake some cakes, you know, do wholesome stuff.

...but no, I had to look at Wizards of the Coast for approximately seven minutes. And now I'm angry again.





LOVELY.

Well. Considering all the rest they're doing with their other IP, if this doesn't end well, I'm definitely not going to touch anything they make with a ten-foot pole.

If Ajani doesn't end up back to normal or at least back in control of himself, I will be done. This man survived a solo encounter with Nicol Bolas (aka the most powerful and evil planeswalker of them all). He has been one of the faces of MtG for over a decade, I will not accept anything less than him being saved.
