Eat Your Heart Out, Trading Spaces

Our guest room redecorated for under $300, with the kind assistance of Super Target and my mom. Too bad it's only going to look like this for 7 more months.

    Many congratulations! On the nicely-done room, sure-sure... but for a reason to change it all again in seven months - Yay! :-D

    Nice job! I'm stuck painting the inside of the house, and we've already blown far more than $300 on "Ice Blue" latex paint from the Home Depot.

  • 22. Jen said:

    Great way to sneak that in there. Congratulations. I think that's kind of an odd thing to say when you're having a baby, but everyone else said it so it must be right, somehow.

    Heather, Did you see the big plane that flew into the apartment building on Spaulding and Rosewood!! ?? Only one block closer and it would have gone right into Leroy! CRAZY! Did they show it on the news in Utah? Are you allowed news from other states???? let me know. kiss chuck for me!

  • 25. Honey Bear said:

    Here is a tip from The Honey Bear: kids of all ages and sexes LOVE the Honey Bear. Buy your child a stuffed Honey Bear. It is kinder than buying a live Honey Bear like me, and cost less, too. But don't be fooled by thoses bitches Teddy Ruxpin and Winnie the Pooh; they are not honey bears, but on the contrary, they are my enemies. I swear, if I see that fucker Winnie again and I'm gonna smash 40 ounces of Misery over his head. Congratulations on your impregnation and teach the little human child to hate Winnie the Pooh and Teddy Ruxpin and to love HONEY BEAR.

    The handsome bearded virile Armstrong must be so pleased with his potent little wigglers. Best to the four of you (including Chuck, of course.)

  • 30. the mighty jimbo (again) said:

    i assume you already have the book "everyone poops."

    well, everyone but you dooce. but regardless, if you do not, it would be my pleasure to send a copy to you as a baby gift and sincere thanks for all the countless hours of procrastination you have provided over the last year.

    hell, if stories of your dog, utah, and constipation have been that much fun, i CAN"T WAIT for pregnancy and baby stories. talk about material!

    Zoochie Dooce? That sounds frighteningly close to that song on Jay and Silent Bob... Jeddi Nephi Dooce? I'm having WAY too much fun. almost makes you wish you were mormon... well...
    Congratulations and all the best. And beautiful room... but can't wait to see it in 7 mos. Nor to hear about the fiascos that ensue when you redo it... stay away from paint cans stored in hi places!

    Congrats, Dooce. I predict that room will not last as a guest room for a whole seven months. Those nesting hormones will probably kick in sometime around September... I wish for you an easy and uneventful pregnancy.

    While I'm thrilled for you personally, Dooce, I mourn the thought of this site turning into a font of gurgling baby photos and baby poop stories. Please promise you'll spare us that.

  • 46. I_is_here said:

    p.s. don't pin the kid with some weird name though. And if it's a boy, promise you won't dress him up like Little Lord Fauntleroy in green velvet shorts and ruffled shirt. I had an aunt that did that to one of my cousins....poor kid.

    Congrats!!

    I *must* be having an "emotional, hormones are fucked up" day, because I am literally shedding tears of joy for you! But I guess that's not as lame as me weeping during a wedding scene on "Little Bill" (Nickelodeon cartoon) last week. At least you are a live human being.

    Congratulations! That is wonderful, Heather.

  • 58. dvl said:

    congrats! come next spring you'll wonder (1) how you could ever have professed to have "lived" before experiencing such immense love, and (2) why you wasted all that "free time" you had before. keep a camera handy from now on; though I still have to admit to having more pictures of my dog from her first year of life than of my child in total. :-D
    (and you thought you had it bad for frito-toes, just wait!)

  • 71. nick said:

    In the spirit of my ghetto friends back home, I think it proper to say something along the lines of, "I know *I* ain't the baby' daddy!"

    Which is to say "congratulations, love." Be careful dear; the "Charm" and "Annoy" lists may start bulge over the next few months and become entirely separate website/entities/creatures. And I mean that in a good way. ;)

    06.10.03 - 05:52 PM

    Whew...a baby? I can't imagine it for myself, but I guess it's one of those "natural progression" things. If you've been wanting a baby, then I'm glad you're having a baby. I'm sure you'll be a great mother...teach him/her to think for him/herself, which I'm sure you'll do (I can't see you doing anything other than that, for some reason!). Best of luck....

    Congradulations!! I'm so happy for you. But I want you to know what happens when you reproduce. Here is a post from my husbands blog . . . . .

    *Rebekah sucks her thumb... a lot. It bothers the hell outta me. She also puts everything she touches into her mouth. This also bothers me a lot... especially when it's my dvd cases. But, as I sat here yesterday, happily chewing on a rubber cap from a little plastic tube that the new router bits come in, I realized that she'll never stop putting everything in her mouth.

    Brian leaves his socks laying on the floor every stinking day. Last night before he got in bed I went in his room and told him to pick up all the clothes and put them in the hamper. Immediately I spied 3 socks on the floor and knew, knew without a doubt, what was about to happen. He happily picked up every piece of clothing in his room... except for those 3 socks. Then I went in our room to get ready for bed and saw a pair of socks laying by my side of the bed. I know they've been there for at least 2 weeks.

    Chewing on every inanimate object that will possibly fit in your mouth, and leaving socks on the floor are hereditary. Who knew?! I've cursed my kids with annoying habits*

    Congrats to you and your hubby! Boy, are you gonna have fun now.

    Diaper genies don't work. Just get the one that you can slide closed in addition to the lid (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it). Also, the babyseat and stroller combo things are awesome because you don't wake the baby when you move it from the car to stroller to house.

    Oh, and since some hospitals mix babys up, when the baby pops out, hubby sticks like glue as they take him/her to measure, weigh, and swab off. He sticks until they put the baby name tag on.

    Finally, everyone's gonna want to tell you all their horror stories, and every one they've ever heard, some of which are urban myths. STOP THEM. Tell them you've heard it already, and that you're done with horror stories. This is because everything WILL be OK, and that bad stuff won't happen to you, so you don't need to hear it and then worry about it.

    (Yet one more: make sure the initials of the name you pick don't spell something that s/he'll pay for on the playground.)

    I'm so happy for you and I'll echo the others who said Woohoo! for smart, nice people having babies. I'm really looking forward to hearing about the whole bun-in-the-oven and baby thing through *your* eyes. I think anyone who assumes talk of babies from dooce will be like the typical parental gushing found elsewhere is way off base. Babytalk away, if you want. Very best wishes to all four of you!

    Congratulations! From someone who was born and raised in Utah - take it from me - DO NOT live in an area that will subject your teenage child to the ridicule and mockery of going to a high school with the mascot moniker of BEETDIGGER. I will never hear the end of that one. It's painful, yo.

    first time poster, and recent first time mom here. Congrats!

    Love the new room...make sure to get the baby room done sooner than 7 months though....more like month 5 or 6 of your pregnancy.

    I didn't get the baby room finished and it's still in a state half-assedness. (5 months postpartum)

  • 173. estella said:

    A *year supply* is a Mormon thing... good Mormon families (read good Mormon wives)are supposed to keep a year's supply of food around so that all of the smug Mormons will have something to eat during Armageddon while the rest of us heathens starve. They're totally not going to share, either. Dooce is a detoxed Mormon... I'm sure you got the joke, right Dooce? There's nothing more satisfying for a non-Mormon than giving a Mormon bride a big bag of cornmeal as a wedding present.

    Good luck on that name thing. I'm sure you'll find something wonderful on that UBN site. Latrina? I like Hereditary Armstrong.

    Congrats, but I must say - I've found I'm pretty much done with this site. Nothing personal, but we're a long way from the shit talkin, booze drinking, running into stars, getting fired from her job, Dooce. Now it's just puppies, babies, and Martha Stewart. Hello LifetimeTV.

    Don't say, "well don't read it then!" Because I won't - it's just that it was at one time exciting, hip and cutting edge.

    I wish you the best Dooce and Blurb, but I think it's time I sailed into the sunset. Yeah I know, you're saying "good riddence."
