But I have to tell you, that getting pregnant never worked to get my LIONsob to scrub toilets. So I’ll pass on trying it again. ---

Evilbeth, you want her to name the kid after your username and won’t even bother to search this very thread to figure out who made a certain BRILLIANT suggestion? :eek: I still have no really good suggestions, other than to say that you should avoid “Mr. Potatohead”. (Although that reminds me of the Amazon Women On The Moon sketch with Michelle (Yum) Pfeiffer.) Congratulations again, tatertot! ---

Thanks for noticing on the posts # thing! No, I am _not_ post padding to draw the number closer! ---

Thanks for the name suggestions, guys, I’m going to write them down to run by hubby. He still has name approval rights but that could change if he keeps making suggestions like Elysee. We are not naming our kid after a street, damnit! (Don’t tell him, but I’m really liking eviltot, it just sounds so spunky) > [@](#): > > Hope things are going all right for tatertot–she hasn’t been to board in awhile (Maybe SHE has a life, just because _I_ don’t) Wow! Somebody noticed I was gone, that’s really flattering. I’m feeling okay, just very, very tired. I’ve got this constant feeling like you get when you’re drunk and just about to puke, but it’s just not ready. Make that drunk on a boat. Yesterday we went hiking up the mountains to see these old castles, and I impressed myself by not whining one little bit. Today, I plan on sleeping, if kid #1 cooperates. Speaking of kid#1, right now I’m feeling terribly, terribly guilty about imposing a little sibling on him. He’s been an only child for just under 5 years now, and totally a mommy’s boy. I know it’s irrational, but I just want to apoligize to him for ruining his perfect little life. Has anyone else ever felt this way? ---

I took that quiz that Rachelle recommended and the results were 48% chance of boy, 52% chance of girl. Arghhh! What kind of results are those? Actually, I really don’t care, I just want one that sleeps, but big brother has his heart set on a boy, and everybody else including hubby wants a girl. Methinks somebody should have thought to tell that to his little spermies before he set them free. ---

If you haven’t scrubbed a lot of scratches into it, it’s no work to clean. Old toilets are always dirty. I’ve seen $50 toilets at home depot. ---

Do you have the kid registered on the board yet? I am partial to Christopher Brian. No idea why. Or, for fun, if it is a boy name him Einstein. That ought to raise the bar for him. Congrats.
