Is this unusual behavior for a toddler?

I'm pretty sure this is, but I would like others' opinions on the topic as well.

BM's youngest child, a girl, will be 2 years old at the end of October. She is very very tiny, although this could be because BM and BD are both slight of build. However, both of her other children were "porker's" when they were her age (including my SD) AND my DH is also not a big man and very slight of build.

Weird way my DH shows that he loves me (and baby).

For the past few weeks there has been a box cutter/utility knife in the driver side little door pocket of my car. Hubby does construction type stuff all the time, so I assumed that he kept it there in case he needed it sometime when we were out and about. He has about a million of these things. A couple nights ago, he was looking for one of these knives while we were at home and couldn't find one. Our conversation went a little like this:

OT-What do YOU think is super important as far as baby gear goes???

So, I'm not due until mid-March. We're on a very tight income right now so I need to budget well when making purchases for baby. I was wondering what you think are things that are MUST HAVES as far as gadgets and things go?

This is my first kid, so I'm starting from scratch. We have a LOT of cousins and stuff in the family that have kids that are getting older, so I anticipate a lot of hand-me-down things, but just in case I want to get a good idea of things YOU couldn't live without.

Thank youuuuuuuuuu!

Did you ever feel this way when you were pregnant?

I keep getting this feeling that having this kid is a horrible horrible mistake. I can't say exactly why I feel this way, but I do know that I feel like the few choices I can independently make over my own life, without regard for anyone else, will be completely stripped away once this kid gets here. I feel like my independence is going out the window. I've talked to DH and he just says "don't say that". I feel lost and alone. I've also been extremely depressed lately as well, so maybe that has something to do with it.

OT- 1st prenatl Doctor's visit.

OMG!! I'm back to freak out stage. We had the first pre-natal doctor's appointment today. I don't know if it makes it so much more real, but I'm terrified of having this kid. Completely and utterly terrified. I mean, not just some doubts about timing and crap, but afraid of whether I even want to be a parent. I think I always thought I wanted kids, but it was kind of a distant thought, like my plans to go to Italy someday were waaaaaaaaaay more concrete than my plans for a kid someday. I don't know if this is normal or if I'm just going crazy, but I am scared.

How do you arrange to go to court for CS adjustments?

It seems like everyone goes to court for CS adjustments and I was just wondering how/why? We've requested at least three times to have DH's child support order lowered since he's been unemployed. We send the request directly to the person assigned to his case and they review it. They sent us something on accident that was supposed to go to BM. It basically said "if you would like to continue this request for adjustment, please send the following documents.

Told DH I was pregnant last night....

I told DH when I got home last night about being pregnant. I showed him the pregnancy test. I think he may have been a little bit in shock because his first reaction was "well, I'll believe it when we know for sure" I was like ummm....ok, the box says its 99% accurate, how much more 'sure' do you need (this was all in my head lol).
