There are two levels of participation. We have a whole bunch of peoplesigned up to help with the planning and organization. The rest of you canparticipate as much as you want once the time comes: buy or contributeto a gift, play the online games, put up a banner, whatever you want todo. Over time, we will post updates here to let you know what's going on.

I'm going to put these on theirown page. If you use these banners, please link back to the mainpage here so Renee doesn't accidentally wind up on this planning page.

General Stuff: Here is what has come up so far:

• We'd like to ask all interested journalers to provide their own babypictures. We have a little game planned for these, but it's all a secret,so don't tell her! If you don't have a scanner, you can e-mailfor assistance. If you already have your pictures scanned, send the URLwhere we can retrieve them to thisaddress or thisone, whichever strikes your fancy. Be sure to include your journalURL in case they don't know who you are!
• We will also be planning a scavenger hunt. More details to come,but we'll want your participation in this one!
• We are tentatively planning the shower for sometime in October.
• We have a sneaky plan to get Renee's wish list for gifts. You can geta lot of hints from herpregnancy journal. If you plan to send a real live gift, please letLyndaknow, because she's going to try to keep track to avoid duplication. Ifyou wish to send a gift via snail mail, we will have a P.O. box where youcan send it. Check back for more information, or ask me about it.
• We are planning both non-realtime games and an actual realtime party.We'll post information about both when we get some things confirmed.
• We have a big, secret, surprise gift planned which we will notbe describing on this page, just in case someone cheats! If you want toknow the secret or are interested in contributing, mailhere for details.
