Confession - I spent the whole night grad dress shopping with my DD and the poor thing didn't find one thing she loved. At one point I gave up looking at price tags and let her try on what ever she wanted and we still found nothing. I felt so bad for her, I hope our next shopping trip is better.

I just went through the same thing. In the end we ended up giving them a gift card to the Home Depot from all 5 of us kids.
Other things I thought of though were, a night out gift pack movie tickets and a gift certificate to a restaurant. A gift basket with wine, gourmet goodies and rogers gift card to rent a movie, so kind of a night in basket.

I call DH's niece and two nephews "devil spawn" I personally think all three of them are possessed. They are the most horribly behaved children I have ever met, I hate having to visit with them.
I can't wait to have gastric bypass surgery, people seem to think I am nuts because I am actually excited for it.
I get up every morning with DH and DD, I make lunches, make a tea for DH and get him off to work and DD off to school. Once they are gone I go back to bed and sleep. When DH complains that he is so tired and wishes he could go back to bed too, I tell him I feel bad that I sleep, but really I don't.

What is reasonable and what you seem to have to pay to get a good photographer in the GTA seem to be two different things.
I have seen prices from $1,500 to $12,000 I feel like you can get a good one in around around the $3,000 to $4,500 range though if you really look around.

Uggg I hate seeing little girls in itty bitty bikinis. I have a 12 year old and she would never dream of wearing something so skimpy, due to her dad and I not letting her and because she wouldn't feel comfy in it.
But... Her best friend wears the skimpiest of skimpy bikinis and her mom buys them for her. They just went on vacation and the mom came over to show me the two bathing suits she bought for DD's BFF and my jaw nearly hit the ground they were so skimpy and the mom picked them out all on her own for her.
This little girl is only 11 and already throwing her self at boys and dressing little a little tramp daily. Her mom seems to have no issue with it, but the dad does but no one listens to him. I worry about DD's BFF all the time and that she is crying out for attention in all the wrong ways.

Seeing as your pregnant, I would start with the worst jobs first and get them over with then move on to the easier things that will cause you less stress.
1. remove carpeting upstairs and install hardwood
2. have all hardwood in the house stained dark (this might have to happen in conjunction with #1)
3. paint kitchen cabinets
4. add backsplash
5. paint interior of the house
6. build a simple patio
I would do 1 and 2 at the same time they have the potential to cause stress and will be the hardest to get done as you have to move everything out of each room.
I would then do the 3 and 4 at the same time. Have someone come and spray out the cabinets for you, then add in the backsplash. Then paint the house and in the early spring do the patio.
