dyk I had 4 showers (family, work, Fred's work and my MIL's work).

dyk We bought the travel system (I would go with a chicco car seat and a snap and go), 3 car seats, the crib (I wanted an American made, non-drop side, 100% wood), the changing table, dresser (brand new on craigslist), breast pump

dyk I used our visa/mc gift cards to help us pay bills so I could take longer maternity leave,

dyk Most people gave us gift cards, clothes, blankets, towels and other trinkets. I received a ton of clothes.


Thank you to Christina for my wonderful siggy!

dyk Did you have native seeds? Planting in Houston is very tricky b/c of the heavy dew, heavy rains and then the high temperatures.

dyk Next year, you might want to try raised planters with a drainage system.

dyk My vincas are going to drown :( My hibiscus and hawaain lai plants are doing wonderful with all this rain. Of course, we will have to dig them up in Oct.

dyk Our grass is growing all sorts of wild mushrooms.


Thank you to Christina for my wonderful siggy!

dyk I used to be a kindergarten teacher.

dyk There was a teacher who got into trouble for duct taping her students to her desks...

dyk The first thing my coworker and I said - "I wonder what the students did to drive the teacher to that point?".

dyk Soaker hoses - they sell them at lowes for under $20, water your grass in the early morning (make use of the dew)

dyk water your veggies/plants after 8 pm with soaker hoses.

dyk My aunt was the head um I don't know what you call them but she did all the landscaping at Falcon Point and Crosby Country clubs.

dyk Just little pointers she has given me that have worked.


Thank you to Christina for my wonderful siggy!

DYK wow- 4 showers!


DYK gift cards would be just fine with me! :-)


DYK I'm not sure if my company will have a baby shower for me. We had one for a manager last year, but not for any of the subsequent guys who had babies. Of course, me being the pregnant

dyk It wasn't company wide, just all the females (all 6 of us) went to lunch, the company gave us a gift card, and my female coworkers gave us gift cards, small and intimate.

dyk Fred's work shower was crazy. There were so many people but the one lady in his group was so nice to us.

dyk My OB made sure we had our seat installed at 30 weeks.


Thank you to Christina for my wonderful siggy!

DYK but planting time is key?


DYK it was likely too late when you replanted?


DYK when the plants are little and just taking off -- that time is key?

DYK thank you!


DYK I tell you- that Baby bargains book has been a lifesaver!


DYK I pretty much pulled my master list from there with a few things I want that weren't listed as "necessities"


DYK it will help me weed through all the cool gadgets and things that we just don't need right now?
