LOL i know, if not i'd never be able to make a real response to anyone ( ... )

--Its totally up to you about the testing. I actually considered not getting it done this time either. It didnt tell me fully one way or the other last time. You're probably right. Even though medicaid does pay for it, it's kind of pointless and more stressful ( ... )

Yea, testing i think we will skip.

As far as going, it's all up to him, i'm neutral on this one...

I'm gonna try to have a natural birth again, so bath/shower really was the best thing for me last time. But, i do remember being happy as can be that when i thought i was in labor that i showered, just this time, i will be eating as much as i can before i get there (I know you "shouldn't" but i almost died from being hungry last time!!)

Then if you have the room (damn car people) lol.. then i will happily tote emilee along, i love having her around and she's a weird kid, so always amusing to others.

Everyone is always talking about the flipcams, so we will be trying to get one, might be a christmas present :) :) :)
