Books and a mini me???

So Mike and I went out to put a huge dent in our Christmas Shopping yesterday and we went to Barnes and Nobles (sorry Robby...we realized afterwards we should have driven to Provo and gone to Borders and save us a boat load of money!). While looking for a particular gift for a person I wandered into the childrens section. I am sure there are many great 'new' books since I was a child but I am totally a fan of the classics. Mike laughs at me because I am so excited to have all these books again! I convinced Mike to let me start buying books for Nuggette, so we started with 2 Shel Silverstein books--The Giving Tree and Where The Sidewalk Ends. Although I am itching to re read these again because I know they will bring a ginormous smile to my face, Mike is making me wait til Christmas. After Barnes and Nobles we made a few other stops, one of which was the Target in Sandy (yes, there are closer Targets, but Mike treated me on a HOTT lunch date to chick-fil-a :)). In the drive through at chick-fil-a, the car in front of us was a station wagon but just filled to the rim with CRAP of Christmas presents. We both just looked at each other and agreed we do not want to raise our child that way. I know we say this now not knowing what the future will bring and I am not saying I want to set my child up as a dork pushing math and reading on them but I think we both would rather be hands on parents instead of buying expensive crap that breaks after 2 days to keep our kid temporarily occupied. Needless to say I am still very excited to expand our book collection. When I recall my childhood it is the simple and easy things I remember and that make me smile, not the "Susie talks a lot" or whatever the toy of the season was. But as of now, it is looking like Nuggette will be a little mini me...for starters shes female. Mike and I both have dreams of her being red haired and blue eyed, although Mike refers to them as nightmares...In her ultra sounds it appears as if she is blessed with my ginormous nose. As the technician was checking to make sure everything was in its place, we noticed she sits/rests just like me--extreme fetal position with the legs crossed and arms up by her face. No matter all the pushing and shoving the technician did, Nuggette would NOT move (translating into shes stubborn, just like me! hooray!). The technician was amazed when I said thats how I sleep too. So world, the moral of the story? I just hope you're all ready for another Lauren Louise :)
