    Nope! I was actually considering doing the same thing this Christmas! I think of it more as being hopeful for having a take hope baby soon!

    I have no clue what that is, but we have a garage full of baby stuff we've had for four or five years because friends gave it to us and I won't get rid of because I am too cheap so I don't think that is sad. Sorry, I'm thinking in run ons tonight!
