I’ve added a countdown widget to the sidebar on the right displaying a countdown till D-Day, and in putting it up I cannot believe how close we actually are!  93 more days and Little Doodle will join us in this world ^_^

I’ve felt alot more connected to Little Doodle in the past few weeks as his/her movements pick up.   Today I noticed I can see my belly wobble with a particularly strong kick from the baby.  Weighing in at almost 2 pounds now, Little Doodle is quickly becoming not so little!  I am also convinced Little Doodle has about 10 elbows and 12 knees.

I’ve been thinking alot about the future nursery and what I want to do with it,  and I’ve been thinking about toys like this:

Good ol’ fashioned ABC blocks like what I had when I was young.  I love these things, and plan on getting a set for Little Doodle.

Some people have asked about the nickname Little Doodle.   Somehow, somewhere along the course of our relationship, Mark got the nickname Doodle.  I’m not sure if it began as a “Marky-Doo” or “Marky Doodle” and I’m not even sure if it was me or my mom who gave him that name.  But eventually, my husband became known as Doodle, so much so I rarely use his actual name anymore.  Even some of our friends will refer to him, jokingly, as Doodle.  By default I became Mrs. Doodle, and it was only natural when we found out we were expecting that the tiny little blob-turned-human would be known as Little Doodle.

As a side note, I’ve added a weather widget to the sidebar as well, so everyone can see how crap and cold it is in England whilst everyone back in the US enjoys the sun and warmth.  Damn you all.  ^_^
