Maybe if you have a girl I'll send you lots and lots of girly clothes! All my other baby stuff is in storage for 3 years unfortunately. I bet you can find someone to donate used car seats and strollers and cribs to you. Once you have that baby, we will all post your story and I bet the world will come through for you! Keep your spirits high - I can't wait to see a picture of your new baby - it sounds so promising!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-26503335863596432262011-06-28T21:21:36.075-04:002011-06-28T21:21:36.075-04:00it's so unfair that money even has to be an is...it's so unfair that money even has to be an issue on top of everything else. hang in there! thinking of you and acorn.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450929181331922606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-71842107456737650562011-06-28T21:07:20.624-04:002011-06-28T21:07:20.624-04:00I agree, you should totally register for what you ...I agree, you should totally register for what you NEED...lots of stores have registries - of course Babies R Us, but also Target and Walmart etc...where ever you shop most. There have been several people who did a "blind" registry somehow, and bloggers were able to buy a gift for you without knowing your address/name. I would love to get something you need if you're able to figure out how to do that! Good luck - hope you have internet access!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-72923344005540123742011-06-28T15:35:33.478-04:002011-06-28T15:35:33.478-04:00Please put up a donate button or whatever magic b...Please put up a donate button or whatever magic blog thing that will let those of that can, give a little. <br />Hilhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620704454262786694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-87247505162748017972011-06-28T12:07:25.174-04:002011-06-28T12:07:25.174-04:00You can do it...you are a strong woman.

Just tell Acorn "sorry no braces for you!". Only kidding :). <br /><br />The ONLY thing that you need to worry about right now is bringing him or her into the world safely. Thats it. Don't worry about all the stuff that you will need once he's here. You probably be surprised at how much stuff you get after A is here! <br /><br />Oh and Laptop + Netflix = no bored Emily <br /><br />Lots of Love xoxoxHillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360286843076465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-11943878530028229402011-06-28T11:13:09.053-04:002011-06-28T11:13:09.053-04:00Hang in there, Acorn!

Children cost money- just think that this will be the first of many expenses to come. Try Craigslist to save some money or I am sure that there are tons of friends who will be happy to include you on their "hand me down" lists.<br />I hold a hefty student loan and conveniently ignore the fact on a regular basis ;)Celenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482913180332864292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-53771282236741428262011-06-28T10:03:16.897-04:002011-06-28T10:03:16.897-04:00I understand you don't know me, but I also agr...I understand you don't know me, but I also agree that you should put a donation button up there.

Don't you wish to be blissfully ignorant sometimes? I know I do! Somewhere in here is a big compliment to you for being smart and thoughtful!<br /><br />Making a registry sounds splendid and a nice way to pass some free time. You can also use Amazon as well. I hope that you at least have wireless so that there is something for you to do. <br /><br />Finally, to be honest, I'm glad you are in the hospital for now. Your plan to wait until Thursday seems like the smartest and most informed way to approach it.<br /><br />I suggest reading at least...Water for Elephants, The Hunger Games books, stuff that is light and kind of action-packed to keep your mind off. I can't imagine just sitting there without television or anything. I would be miserable too.<br /><br />-TracyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246142239742915169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-22328599428813759512011-06-27T23:55:21.081-04:002011-06-27T23:55:21.081-04:00I was going to ditto the donation button too.

What kind of draconian hospital is this??? I've been in two different hospitals and neither did that. I'm seriously in shock. I just feel so terrible for you. Do they have free wireless? Can you bring a laptop and watch Hulu shows? <br /><br />In the huge grand scheme of things, $2800 isn't a lot. Just remind yourself that people regularly graduate with $10, 20, 30,000 worth of debt from school and somehow they make it work and have kids. Right?? Maybe?Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724675337980390322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-23347489497006228182011-06-27T23:22:49.414-04:002011-06-27T23:22:49.414-04:00Why don't you put a donation button up here? ...Why don't you put a donation button up here?

Just another stressor you don't need, right? :(<br /><br />As for the gear you're looking for, register for it? I know you don't want to do optimistic things right now, but I think you can do it online through Babies R Us. Bring home an Acorn, and I will buy you your car seat, swear to God.Lj82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01067562341189588336noreply@blogger.com
