Oh you will be, I have 34 weeks to get my 2nd bedroom cleared out and redone for my 4 year old.

We go a week from Friday to find out if it's twins. Fingers & Toes crossed that it's one. Twins run on my mom's side, then I won't be able to go to Leadership.

Actually, my director picked one up for me! Isn't that awesome?!
 
That is awesome! I thought about getting one for my sis who's expecting a girl; but wasn't sure if she'd like it.
 
Those bags are cute ... one of my clustermates said, "It's supposed to be a diaper bag, but hey, I have kids!"

I thought they were cute, but I am not a pink person. I would love it in green, purple, light blue.
 
I was never a pink person either Amanda; until I had 2 daughters! Now they've converted me....just a little bit! I do like pink/brown together like the bag though.

She told me she got you one cuz you're all about the pink and brown. :D
 
If you're too old to carry a diaper bag for your kids, maybe you can carry one for your Depends. LOL!

Yes, I am all about the pink and brown.

Anne did you peek at your baby or is it a surprise?I almost bought the bag, but would feel guilty if I had another boy and him have a pink bag. Like I said I am not a pink person, but that could change if I have a girl.
 
We are having a girl!
 
I always thought HWC money was for research, education and awareness...what is it for?

Education and awareness, I believe.

That's right. Education, awareness and early detection programs.
 
Breast Cancer Education and Early Detection Programs is how it is listed. It needs to be conveyed correctly or you are actually misrepresnting what we are doing with the moneys. And that can cause problems strangely enough if someone got really "creepy" about you using the wrong words. It is concidered false advertising. (I know, but some people!)
