Dudeeeeeeeee, that was just FULL of perfectly awesome cuteness, guh!!!! I love the idea of Jim getting excited about a baby spa bath LMAO. Seriously this was REALLY cute. I never want this to end.

I also want to work at Baby's R Us :(

Author's Response: thank you! it's true... it's the dads who get all excited. they light up like kids in a candy store when you give them the scanner gun. so many times, when i print out the registry when they're done, the mom will be like, "seriously honey? 8 pacifiers?"

i love working there. everyone's happy there (because come on, who doesn't love shopping for baby stuff?) and i get to see babies all day. the only part i hate (other than the crappy pay) is that i have to be at work at 6 AM two or three times a week. i make and put up the signs for different promotions and sales, so i have to get there early. blah.

oh my goodness, that was adorable. so nice to see that jim and pam still have their perfect chemistry even after J.D. is born. not that i'm saying they wouldn't - but sometimes (or at least i'd assume - because i don't have kids) parents are so attached at birth and constantly talk about their kids when they're away from them. if that makes any sense. well at least it did in my head.

sorry this review doesn't make any sense, i loved this chapter if that wasn't clear to you! i was beginning to wonder how you knew so much about babies and preemies. if this isn't too personal - do you have any kids or know someone who had a preemie. and where do you get all the hospital pictures? i really appreciate you adding them to the chapters so we can read descriptions along with seeing visuals.

great job - i can't wait to read more chapters - the welcoming home party should be fun to read!

Author's Response: the pictures of babies i got from google. the pictures of different products i got from babiesrus.com. i don't have kids, but i have 8 nieces and nephews. my niece was a preemie, but at 36 weeks, so she wasn't in the NICU. she was tiny, 4lb 13 oz, but healthy. her younger brothers were also preemies, at 36 weeks, but since they were twins, they were smaller and spent a week in the NICU. my friend had her twins at 34 weeks due to a placental abruption, but had no complications, and the babies were 5 lbs each. they spent 2 weeks in the NICU. and now they're 10 months old and almost 30 lbs each. mama's milk is doing them good. :o)

as for my knowledge on babies & preemies... i'm a nerd when it comes to health. i watch a lot of discovery health channel. anatomy & physiology fascinates me. i've also been babysitting for over 10 years, so i did research on babies. i also like to research things so i can make recommendations at the store.

i'm actually not going to be writing the welcome home party... i'm going to go straight from J.D. coming home to the epilogue. so 3 more chapters to go. one of them involves some smut... *cough*

ok, it's more fluff than smut, but whatev.
