On the heels of her new album, 20 Y.O., pop and R&B star Janet Jackson takes Us Weekly inside the private childhood in America’s most talked about family.
In 1968, when the Jackson 5 signed with Motown, the family of 11 left their three-bedroom home in Gary, Indiana, where dad Joe Jackson worked at a steel plant and mom Katherine for Sears. In a 22-room estate in L.A.’s Encino area, Joe controlled his kid’s careers – and lives – with an iron fist.
“He whipped me one time, and I won’t forget it, that’s for sure,” Janet, 40, says of the notoriously strong-willed patriarch, who demanded his kids call him Joseph instead of Dad. “A lot of people believe in putting a little fear into their children, just to let them know who’s boss,” she says.
And Joe wasn’t the only man in the family giving Janet a hard time. She confesses that brother Michael damaged her self-image by teasing her constantly about her weight, calling her “big butt.” “After a while, it went beyond name-calling. It really affected me.”
Why wouldn’t Janet’s mother let her children spend time at friend’s houses when they were growing up? Is Janet (who’s been sporting a 17.5-carat yellow diamond ring) engaged to boyfriend Jermaine Dupri? Does the couple want to have children? For more details on Janet’s unusual upbringing and career plans, check out the current issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands this week.

I dunno I sure feel old when I find more white hair. Or when I throw my back out. Or when I go to a concert and I feel like the oldest one there. Or walking through the mall seeing all the teenagers. I want to smack the snobby ones. The little Hollister b1tches. I didn't like them when I was their age either. Ok I don't really wanna smack them, but the older counterparts I do. Ok, it's not just them, but people in general. At least I look young, hopefully I won't age really quickly and lose that seeing as how I am looking forward to that come age 30. I swear not long ago I was going into WalMart at like midnight and in the dark you can't see the white hair (not that there is tons so I guess that doesn't matter) so I get these freaking teenage boys trying to talk to me. First, I really cannot remember ever thinking it was cool to hang outside of WalMart and I hope I never did. 7-11 at 3am, different. WalMart, never. Second, WTF? Third, I just got out of my car, meaning I drive, on my own. I am not going ot be interested in some one sitting on the curb at WalMart waiting for a ride. You have to drive here. If some one is on a bike, their car broke down, they are exercising, no license, they work really close, or they are broke. Those odds are not good. I'm not chancing it. Not with my luck. Nope nope nope. I am a snob out of necessity otherwise I will end up with a fool who has zero money and is looking for rides to his probation officer and to find a job. And he will stink the bad stink.
It makes sense to me. I follow ya. I'm good like that. In the end it's better if she figures out how she feels all by herself. She doesn't need to bounce that off of you. It may take her some time but if it's meant to be it will work out. All you an do is be friends now at the least cause of Haley.
am sure to give the message if i see carey hart for u haha lmao.yup i love a girl w/ a getto booty thats the best and jlo's my dream girl.yeah, it became to much w/ her playing games i know how i feel and what i want, but am not gonna have someone treat me like a dumba** just because there confused about what they want and how they feel.i hope what i said makes any sense at all am sure it doesn't.i look at getting older like this as long as u keep open mind bout everything and keep learning new things you'll never feel to old thats how i look at it anyway.
Yeah you can't hang around waiting for her to make up her mind which will probably change all the time. If all you can do is just be friends right now that that's all you can do. Forcing it isn't going to do any good.
Sometimes I don't feel older at all. Maybe that's cause I am such a slacker. I ain't stressing it through. 30 isn't the end and I don't have to have all I want to do done by then is the way I look at it.
I dated a butt guy once...it didn't last. My sister got that and by got it I mean she got it like Jennifer Lopez got it. Makes me think she is the mailman's kid cause her dad is white white and so is mother. We call her Ghetto Booty. It is fun to smack. The joys of being older than her. And it doesn't involve finding white hair.
If you happen to see Carey Hart in Vegas let him know that should it not work out with Pink I can offer a shoulder or another body part to cry on. And I'm not into chicks but for him I could guest star with them.
i am only messing bout a woman w/ 36 dd's am not into that i like a woman w/ alittle junk in the trunk but its funny anyway haha lol.i ended it w/ my girl last night shes been playing mind games like wanting space not be together but yet wanting hang out as if we are and it was to much so i said am done i'll be there for the child i just can't stand mind games being played.i can't wait to go to vagas its gonna be a fun trip its a once in a life time thing so i'll make the best i can out of it.i don't mind getting older its not as bad as i thought it would be when i was young am having fun w/ it i go w/ the flow.i will be on my best behavior when in vagas don't worry of coming home w/ anything ha thats funny u crack me up fake
36 DD, any DD, not all it's cracked up to be. Find a girl with fake ones maybe she will appreciate them more. I guess you have to when you pay for them. But should you meet a chick with that much boobage speak to her not the boobs. Pet peeve of mine. I can deal with a glance, a look, I expect them to be checked out, but staring not so much. Reserve the gawking for when you get the top off. Fake or not marry a chick with DDs and save for future plastic surgery. I really do not understand mens' obsession with boobs. I mean they're pretty and all, but even if they are shoved to my chin I still don't get it. Are you a boob guy? If you are what the hell is it??
Yeah if RHCP come around they are probably worth seeing. Whenever a band has been together for awhile I always think that the chances of them breaking up are way better. I'd love to see Radiohead, but they never come over here. Wait I was wrong it's Aerosmith with Motley Crue. Hmm, have to think about that one. STP was awesome in concert. They did Family Values with Linkin Park and Staind several years ago. I've seen LP three times, once with Snoop Dogg. He was really good and threatened all the moshers. Did all his old stuff, Gin and Juice and all. Talking about those songs makes me want to sit down and watch 90210.
I got plenty of taunting on my last bday. Being the oldest. The line was that now that I am more than halfway to 50 it's all downhill. Being older is great. I can look forward to more white hair, worsening insomnia, back getting worse, vision going to crap. Yipee. Young at heart. I guess that would explain my running around Disney and waiting in line for pictures with Mickey.
Not everything stays in Vegas but hopefully should anything come home with you it can be fixed with antibiotics.
yup 13 and 14 doing every drug out there it was fun thought until i got hooked on one type of a drug and things got a mess from there.my drinking can be alittle bit not good at times but if that happens i slow it down to play it safe.nirvana i love brings back memories and stp as well those were the days linkin park is real good so is red hot chilli peppers i wanna see them in concert that would be sweet.thanks fake for remembering me am close to 30 not nice lol i am gonna be 28 and i still feel young in heart i hope that stays.no my aunt is just plan crazy i really believe that but hey maybe she not and it all true lmao thats funny.whats happens in vagas stays in vagas i might come back more rich and married to a girl w/ 36 dd boobs haha yea right my dream well not really but it could
13 is crazy. My brother did similar stuff, but his vice was weed. Then he got into some trouble and has been forced to straighten up. Hopefully it will stay that way. He's a good kid. I've known people who were alchies and later on once they got hold of their addiction and why they were addicted they were able to drink without it being an issue. I know that a lot of people say that alchies can never drink ever without it being an issue but I disagree. I dated a guy who admitted he had been an alchie, but he realized it, owned it, and moved on. We could go out and have a drink and it wasn't an issue. Of course he went from being an alchie to being a total control freak with everything because he had some stuff that he hadn't dealt with, going back to his father. He controlled everything including his emotions, not healthy either, but a stepping stone I hope. He could sit back and have a beer while at home it it was fine. You'll know if it's not. We broke up later but it had nothing to do with any of that, it was just cause he chose to be an asshole. Beer is a natural depressant so it does relax, but you probably know if it is the beer relaxing you or if it is the need for it and the act of drinking it that does, if that makes sense. Like my former sorta step dad who was an alchie, he would have to drink no matter what. He would take us kids out and be drinking. He would fill up a soda can with beer so he could take it in places while he had us. It wasn't the beer that would relax him it was feeding the addiction, the addiction being drunk or kicking a buzz.
Yeah concerts are worth it when it is some one I like. U2 was 100 for third level. Garbage opened so I was super stoked about that. Elton John & Billy Joel were almost 200 for really good seats. But I will easily pay 100 for football tickets so I guess it's priorities. I've paid 125 for tickets that were for a MNF game and in the third row off the field and I've paid 70 for crap seats just to get in and stand on the pirate ship in the stadium. I've seen Staind twice, once with Linkin Park & STP, once at the radio concert. I really really would like to see GNR when they come but it's just not the same without the old lineup. And they have Motley Crue. Hair bands. I also listen to anything 80's or early to mid 90's. Love me some Pearl Jam, but I was a Nirvana girl all the way. My fave mix playlist has some Nirvana mixed with Rob Base mixed with Aha and Joan Jett, throw in some old roller rink songs like some Chaka Khan and some break dancing stuff they played back then. I wish more 80's acts would tour. The day Steve Perry returns to the Journy lineup...hell will freeze, but it will be a good day.
That's right, isn't your birthday soon, this week? Happy Birthday, you're closer to 30 than I am nananabooboo. I've never been to Vegas, but plan on it at some point. My sister and I talked about maybe in the next year. So much drama though it's hard to get away. I'm scared that I'd go over my gambling budget and lose buku bucks. I want to go soon though before I have to be too much of a mature, responsible adult.
We have a bunch of y'all Yankees down here :) But hey maybe God really does talk to her, didn't you see that show Joan of Arcadia? Down here we had the bank that they noticed the Virgin Mary on the windows. You know how the large glass ones get that oily looking film on them? It was in the shape of the Virgin Mary no matter how many time sit rained or it was washed. A church bought the building. Stayed that way for years until some prick came and threw rocks through them. They replaced it with clear glass instead of the mirrored that was up. She didn't return like they hoped. So many people came to see it, it was crazy. As if traffic wasn't bad enough over there. That's FL, Best Buy, Rooms to Go, Virgin Mary, Toyota dealership.
i have been drinking since i was 13 just like coming home from a long day at work and having beer or any time in that matter it relaxes me.just had 2 chilli cheese burgers i have to say it was damn good chilli cheese dogs w/ onions of course are also real good as well.i have been to couple of concerts green day,tom petty,creed,and i believe thats it the prices of tickets are crazy but its worth it when u like whos playing.i listin to pearl jam,staind,nickelback ,u2,godsmack and i listin to rap as well i like all types of music.i have aunt that lives in fl but i don't see her alot she kinda wacko she thinks shes god or god talks to her something like that i say to much LSD in the 60's but who am i to judge.i can't wait til my birthday i planned a trip to las vagas for a week w/ bunch of friends its going to be lot of fun.am gonna be drunk gambling my a** off and lose everything haha maybe that won't happen i guess just wait and see
You're right, the kid is the most important thing.
Drinking is one thing, being dependant another. I think you'll know the difference. I know alchies who claim to not be but they know it. They just ignore it. Drinking does not mean that you are substituting one addiction for another, so if you know that you are healthy in your behavior don't feel guilty about it.
I have heard that song, it's been played a bunch here. I haven't heard anything else by them though. Will have to check them out. There aren't many radio stations down here that play new, unknown stuff so we don't get to hear a lot that isn't mainstream. I have to find stuff out from playlists and music mags. I listen to most everything, but alternative/emo/rock/whatever they are calling it now more than anything else. Probably partly because the only smaller radio station that plays anything decent is an alt rock station. For being a small station they put on pretty decent shows. Last year they had Staind and Our Lady Peace and 30 Seconds to Mars and a bunch others for their all day show. I called in sick to work. Stand for 9 hours in a group of 15000+ in the FL so called winter. Good times. I'm a bit of a concert junkie but the those damn prices keep going up. And a bunch are going to the new outdoor venue that was just built and the GA area ain't all that great. I've got 2 coming up though, one I'm driving a few hours for cause the last time he was here I was doing something with this house. The other I don't ever miss, 4th time I've seen them. I can't even name a fave concert though cause I've seen so many that are different. Elton John & Billy Joel to Tori Amos to DMB to STP to Incubus to U2. Concerts are right up there with football for me. Love them. And my team won to day!! Yeah!! 62 yard field goal to win with no time left. Not as good as but equal to sex.
My seafood craving left me, but I'm thinking an Entenmann's cheese danish. Sweets. And french fries. There is a chili place here that I have been meaning to go to, Skyline. I love me some chili cheese dogs. With onions. And onion rings. And cheese sticks. Ok now, I need to go to the grocery store and three fast food places.
to be honest am really not caring if we get back or not am only caring bout my child thats only thing that matters.i went out w/ friends last night it felt nice being me the partyboy haha lol a fun night i'd say.i couldn't find mother on myspace i tried and it didn't work for me. i can't believe am drinking again just the way i am i guess. u ever heard of the band hinder the song lips of an angel i like that song the whole albums good if u like that type of music.i'm craving chilli cheese burgers right now there the best u should try it yea having them tonight.
I am 100% accurate on guessing babies sexes in the past several years so think pink. Of course all those people are in state so we can see how accurate I am when I have never met the preggo one. And I think you'll know when it's been too much time, if it reaches that point, hopefully it won't. I've been there. It hurt but it wasn't surprising so it didn't hurt as much. But hopefully she'll come around and decide she wants to be with you. And by you I mean you and not baby's daddy. A kid is a good enough reason to be together but it's not the right reason. I'm always up for vent sessions, especially when the weird ass mind of a woman may need to be explained. I just got a really strong craving for seafood. Damn. Now I want lobster. Well hell. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway....Did you ever find Mother's MySpace? I couldn't. I don't have one either so I don't know if I can really search easily for it.
i guess i'll give her the space for now to just think things over and go from there but your right i'll see at some point if it will be to much time.its funny u say the baby will be a girl cause so does my family maybe.i was still gonna do the room even after she said that only cause i want to and am not gonna throw it out.thanks fake for letting me vent and for your great words it all help
I'm glad to hear that. She probably is freaked. And she is probably thinking about if you're with her just because the pregnancy too. Just let her know that you would want to be with her even if she weren't pregnant. And like you said that now that she is you will always be there for the baby. You're right about not holding a grudge, especially with Haley (I tell ya it's a girl). Even if things don't work out you can't. Kids sense that stuff, as you know. Give her as much time as you can, but you'll know if at some point that it's too much time. But that is hopefully not the case. I'd still do the baby room. It would have been a nice surprise for her, but in the end it's for the baby. So all you have to accomplish is the impossible thing women want: be there always and back off.
she called me last night and wanted to say sorry for what she said bout the babys room and bout never speaking to her again and just how she diidn't mean it and was wrong to say.it was very hurtful what she said hurt 10 times more then walkin in on my ex w/ another man but i forgave her for it cause u can't hold a grudge.she let me in on why she ended the everything which helped she was feeling pressured and stress and how different this relationship was compared to others but its how i feel as well. when i first saw her it was love at first sight i heard and saw nothing but her i never felt that ever.she also said that when i told her to move in w/ me cause pregnant it freaked her out but if she never wanted to i would understand i was steping up and trying to let her know am gonna be there for her and this baby no matter what.i asked if there was a chance to get back w/ each other and she said yea but she needs time for now. i wanna be back more then anything but am not gonna be selfish and think of me i have to think bout what shes feeling and going threw at the moment and let her work that out first.i justed let her know am here to stay and i love her and this baby and even if we never get back together am here for this baby.i hardly got any sleep last night we were on the phone til 4 in the morning and i had to get up at 6 but we had to talk in order to understand things better so who knows maybe can work it out
I don't know what the laws are up there but one thing to keep in mind is to document everything, witnesses, every time you try to contact her about the baby. Down here if man abandons the woman who is pregnant they basically say that he gives up rights to the baby. So make sure that everyone knows that you are trying to do for they baby and you want to do whatever you have to for the baby. She can't keep you out of the baby's life. Look into custody laws just to cover your ass. There is even a stupid registry down here that no one knows about that men who are unmarried are supposed to register with when they find out they are going to be fathers. A few men have had their kids adopted out from them in this state because of the ridiculous laws that do not protect them. Search for websites that have father's rights. It may give you a place to start finding info. Or get a lawyer if you can. Don't let too much time pass. It's hard to think of that now, but you want to make sure that it is painfully obvious that you are wanting to be a part of the baby's life.
People act really weird when they are hormonal. Just like PMS. I know I have been a really mean person at times. I know when I get that way now and I stay away from people because I will only get pissed off and will lash out at every one around me. Only she knows why she is acting that way. That is pretty cruel to say that about the baby's room and it seems like she is purposefully trying to hurt you. I'd guess that she is either really freaked over the baby and lashing out at you because she thinks you are more ok and happy about it or she thinks you hurt her somehow. When people are that pissed it is almost never a result of simply being angry, there is something more there. Just don't expect to understand it.
she was acting funny for a couple of days i would hang out w/ her she would barely speak to me or even look at me like i was not in the room and somedays at work i would call her and she would not pick up or she didn't want to talk and hang up. yersterday she called and she told me she did not wanna move in w/ me in nov when i asked why she said never wants to and that its over for good and not to call her ever again.thats the hardest only cause she pregnant i wanna know how the pregnancy going. i told her bout the babys room that i got the furiture and paint and she said i was a stupid a** for doing it i asked if she wanted the furiture for the baby then she told me throw it out. how am i stupid for doing that? some man don't care bout things like that but oh well.it would be so easy if i actually did something to cause this but i didn't and am just confused on why she so pissed. if its stress that making her act like that or whats shes feeling well am feeling stressed as well but i need stress alot of things on my plate in order for me to keep busy and keep me out of trouble w/ things.am drinking the pain away it helps i think
Sh1t. I'm sorry.
Drinking a bit, ok. Wallowing in alcohol and watch it.
She's got to be really hormonal now and with the pregnancy not being planned and coming so quickly after getting back together she may just need some time to think and make sure all is ok. That's a lot that must be on her mind. Did she say why or anything? It doesn't mean that she doesn't love you or anything. I've broken it off before with a man I loved so much because it was just time for me to do it. Too much going on and too much uncertainty in the relationship, a lot of that uncertainty in my mind. I still spoke to him and was open to getting back together but I had to deal with me first. I still adore him to this day even if I don't always like him. She is probably scared sh1tless. She is younger too so she may be thinking about being tied down and worried about missing out.
Just be there for her when she needs you. Remind her that you are going to be a daddy no matter what. Don't do anything that could be taken as smothering, even if you know you aren't if she is freaking about all the commitment going on she will see anything as smothering. Don't go looking for chicks. Behave as if you have to prove that you can be a responsible father. Still do up the room for the baby if you can. Even if things can't work out you still have a baby to look forward to. And I am officially deciding that it will be a girl.
my girl broke up me tonight am confused by the whole thing didn't see it coming.i knew something was up w/ her cause for the passed couple of days shes been acting funny who knows i guess am just gonna drink the pain away lol for now
kids do and say the craziest things sometimes its funny.i can remember being 4 in my oldest brothers wedding and being very bad not standing in line screaming my head off running around that my brother hit me in back of head i fell over all during the vows i started crying my moms yelling at my brother saying i could have brain damage my brothers yelling back saying hes lucky he didn't choke me for being a brat lol its funny how you can remember things when your so little i believe its all on video tape to which makes even more funny.i know what am in for my time comes trouble
That's great. I can just imagine it. I've got a sort of niece in my weird family and she's like that too. I remember one chorus concert that she took over. She was in one of the front rows and decided that the planned choreography wasn't good enough for her. They had passed out roses to the kids as part of the show and she took hers and used it as a microphone, jumped off the riser to floor in front of the rest of the kids and started dancing around, completely hamming it up. She's make all those faces that you see guitarists make. The teachers just let her. I think they were afraid to interrupt her. She gets with my friend's daughter and they talk about their boyfriends. They're 7. Another time we took them skating and in the rink they have a jungle gym area for the kids. The niece goes up into the top level and is standing so we can see her as we skate around. We're making a lap and look up to see her with her hands hooked into the netting and dancing like she's in a video, dropping down and shaking her butt. 7 years old. My sister goes up (she's the one who isn't related to the nice but the one who is the family connection due to her ex) and yells at her and the kid is like what did I do. They have dance parties, turn on the Pussycat Dolls and sing the song and dance around the house. It makes me want to be that young again.
i had to watch my 10 yr old nephew and my 5 yr old niece. my nephew at the age were everything is gay and i guess he found that jay and gay go together so the whole night hes calling uncle gay jay so i put him in a head lock then he stoped lol. my niece is 5 going on 25 w/ the stuff that comes out of her mouth its funny.my niece was telling me that my brother taught her what to do if a stranger comes up to her and she asked if i wanted to see i thought it would have been fight move or a scream or something like that had no idea she would come up to me and kicked right in the u know what i fell to the floor not being able breathe and she laughing at me.it was a very funny night between nephew calling me gay and my niece kicking me lol
Sounds like she'll like the room surprise a lot then. All the bad is worth he good stuff. All the lack of sleep is worth it when they when they learn something or decide they like you. Even the bad behavior is cute sometimes. My friend's kid was 6 when she decided that she didn't like her parents anymore (after not getting her way of course) so with her kindergarten handwriting and spelling she got out her pens and paper and made a sign for her room saying that they were not allowed in. They had mean frowny faces next to them. The she listed the people who were allowed in. We had hearts. As she got mad at some one else she would cross them off and move them to the other list. And she was so serious about it. She was being a brat but it was so cute. She's my substitute kid. No grandkids yet in my family so my mother is chomping at the bit. But then she has been since I was 17. So my sister and I did rock paper scissors to see which teen would get knocked up to please our mother. It was me but Mom didn't want to come up with daycare money.
were both perparing for this in the best way you can you take the good w/ the bad so am not to worried i just want everything to go right and there both fine.she loves surprises i want got her flowers and a card for no real reason other then thinking of her and she was crying so in the end she'll love the room.this child will be the 4 grandchild on her parents side and will be the 8 grandchild on my side but this one will be just as spoiled as the rest am sure.she been looking at some stuff already for the baby like furniture and things but still not a clear idea yet so we will see but as long as the paint is done i'll be fine.my girl been making watch all the labor shows everytime i go see her i catch her crying it sweet to see.i say the same why have 3 others before me when am prime perfection lmao
Prepare for the gross. I'll leave your girl to tell you the gross she will experience. I know that I'd try try to go natural too. I'd be too afraid of being doped up and not remembering everything. I know the epidural is pretty safe, but I'm paranoid. My friend couldn't push hard enough with her first and they had to use the vacuum. Which was fine. I'm a bit more paranoid about it anyway cause of some scoliosis in my spine right where they put the epidural. I think that most birthing classes, Lamaze, whatever, will show you a video of a birth. TLC and Discovery block out all the yucky stuff. I think she'll like the room surprise. If she's the type who likes surprises. If you're not sure if she will you can always leave some stuff to be done like pictures and bedding. Do the big stuff like painting. Do y'all have stuff already? Furniture and whatnot? Will this be the first grandbaby? If so prepare some for some serious spoiling, I bet. I was the first for awhile. Well the first in this country, the rest are in Canada. Then my sister had to come along. Then another. Then a boy. I just don't understand what she was thinking. I mean when you have already achieved perfection on your first try why bother trying again?
thanks fake that wonderfully gross describ of what i'll be facing good looking out lol i'm perparing for it so maybe i won't pass out after all ha.we been talking she wants to go natural but i think she should have meds just w/ the pain and all but she says it now then when the time comes she'll be wanting to.i think she'll like the room when i surprise w/ it(i hope)shes been so stressed lately w/ everything that this might calm the stress alittle
Aww that'll be a nice surprise. She'll so cry. And if blood freaks you out you will be so passed out for sure during the birth. What about gushing amniotic fluid? Placenta? Your kid will be covered in goo. Ya know those babies you see in movies, they're all clean and cute? So not reality. Although they do clean them up good without a bath. I was going through baby stuff of a friend's daughter and she hands me a little knit hat and tells me it was the one they gave her daughter in the hospital. Then she says listen to this and reads off the note they send home with it which warns people that the hat was worn by the baby before the bath and may still have pieces of placenta and fluid on it. I was like I'm close with you and the kids and all, but I didn't really need to be so close as to have touched placenta. And your poor girl. Afterward. Is she going natural?
I like that the names are family related. My sisters and I have all decided on the same family name for our first boy so we aren't rushing but we are racing. Hell if I were to have a girl she might end up with it just so I can win.
she was telling me bout the 4-d sonogram oh my girls name is jessie the 4-d sonongram i heard cost alot but it would be cool to do. i would pay that amount orany amount for a chance to see and have it done
if she pees on the table when she getting a sonogram am laughing cause she knows when she gives birth am gonna be passed out on the floor ha lol it true the sight of blood makes me passed out. she wanted jason and i wanted trey but her dads also named jason and her brother so she said treyson i liked the name and we both liked chase.with girl it was easy we both liked haley i picked the middle name after my moms name lyna and she picked rose for her moms name we had to add are moms in it.i am waiting on how she wants the room to be til we find out but i might surprise w/ it and just do it anyway cause she gonna be moving in w/ me in nov cause she lives on her own now and goes to college and she'll have no clue bout it yeah am gonna surprise w/ the baby room.
Nice names, not too common but not so uncommon that they're weird. I've a little Chase in my family so I approve. :) I tried to convince my friend to go with Haley but her husband vetoed me. You could always do the room in greens and yellows if you couldn't find out. Easy enough to add pinks or blues afterwards. At least there is a better chance of them being sure now. All three girls in my family were supposed to be boys and my brother was supposed to be a girl. That 4-d sonogram is amazing, but it costs about 350 down here cause I don't think many insurances cover it. But you can see every detail of the baby, even the texture of their skin. But the regular ones are really clear. Just do not laugh if she pees on the table when the time comes for the sonogram.
