Sunday conversations

This morning Dan and I were talking about all the stuff you need/want for a baby. The following conversation took place....

Dan: "I want a baby backpack."
Jamie: "Like a diaper bag backpack?"
Dan: "No, a baby backpack."
Jamie (visualizing a backpack leash for a toddler): "I don't think we'll need one of those right away. You could get it for a 1st birthday gift for baby if you really want one."
Dan: "No, I want a baby backpack. Like the one in The Hangover. So I can spill food on it and carry it around."
Jamie: "You mean you want a baby carrier?"
Dan: "Yeah, I want a baby backpack."

Should I be nervous about him learning parenting tips from movies like The Hangover?

Putty update

How far along: 13 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: - 4lbs...they finally wrote me a prescription of anti-nausea meds.
Maternity clothes: some things are just more comfortable with an elastic waist. Especially if I know I'm going to be sitting all day.
Stretch marks: Nothing new
Sleep: Thank goodness for naps.
Best moment this week: When they finally found the heartbeat at our appointment.
Movement: No sir.
Food cravings: Happens randomly and rarely.
Food aversions: Happens all the time.
Gender: I think boy.
Belly Button in or out: In.
What I miss: Sleeping regular hours
What I am looking forward to: I caved and bought a doppler. It comes tomorrow. I'm excited and looking forward to the piece of mind. Even though we hit 2nd trimester, I'm not sure I'll stop being afraid of losing this baby until I can regularly feel him/her.
Milestones: I failed my glucose test...oh wait, is that not a milestone? blech.

Random

I never noticed the creepy hand on the left side of my background. Pretty sure I'll have nightmares about it now.

I sure hope not

I came across this today,

The day you deliver, outside will be light. Your baby will arrive in the late evening. After a labor lasting approximately 24 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 12 pounds, 5 ounces, and will be 21 -1/2 inches long. This child will have medium hazel eyes and some brown hair.

I really hope the weight is wrong...and maybe the labor time. Really hope the weight is wrong.

Disclaimer: I did this completely for fun and put no stock into what Madame Z's prediction is. :)

Update

How far along: 12 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: I'm avoiding the scale. But, I have a Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday so I'll find out then.
Maternity clothes: some things are just more comfortable with an elastic waist. Especially if I know I'm going to be sitting all day.
Stretch marks: Nothing new
Sleep: Not getting enough -- I'm good at waking up at 2am and staying awake until it's almost time for me to get up. Awesome.
Best moment this week: Realizing I only have 3 days left on my progesterone.
Movement: No sir.
Food cravings: Happens randomly and rarely.
Food aversions: Happens all the time.
Gender: I think boy.
Belly Button in or out: In.
What I miss: Beer and eating whatever I want.
What I am looking forward to: Cool weather
Milestones: Almost out of 1st trimester and done with progesterone!

All in all, I feel like crap 75% of my day. Hoping to feel better soon.
