Thomas Henry Abdalla was born November 5, 2001, which was his due date as calculated from a sonogram.  He was conceived sometime around Valentine's Day, 2001.  Throughout the pregnancy I tried to keep some sort of weekly diary if for no other reason then to torture him with it when he's older. Joe was incredibly supportive and excited as an expectant father.  He read many pregnancy books religiously and was quite involved the whole nine months.  He was rather disappointed, however, that he did not get a chance to play his role as Birth Coach as he would have liked.  Read the Thomas's Birth Story here. We have ended up registering at several different places online, mostly just because it's fun.  We're at BabysRUs for most of the practical (and impractical) gear.  For toys we registered at Wishworld, which has several stores, including Baby Genius (my favorite!) and Baby Ant.  For convenience's sake, we also registered at Target.  We haven't registered for any clothes, since it would be more interesting to see what everyone else picks out for the baby.
