Registering!

So I registered today! It was fun!!! It really made it all "REAL" to me. I know that might sound crazy, but sometimes I still can't believe that I am actually pregnant. It happened so quickly after that first IUI; I really wasn't expecting it.

Anyway, registering was a lot of work and a lol of decision making! But, thankfully my friend Sandy was there to help me out. I look at her as a pro seeing that she is now on baby #2!!! She was so helpful! If she wasn't there I wouldn't have had any idea where to even start. I added a link to my registry to my list of links if anyone would like to check it out. Here's a picture of my cute bedding that I went with...We are going with a froggy theme.

I am leaning towards painting the room yellow and possibly painting the trim white. I am getting soooooooooo excited!!!!!

Yesterday I cleaned out my closet to make room for Jeff's things. Currently, he is using the soon-to-be baby's room for his clothes. So I had to make room for his things in my closet. It was a success! He actually has half of the closet for his things! I did well! I have 4 bags of clothes and shoes that I am going to donate to charity. I just can't wait to get the baby's room started!!!

Well, my next doctor's appointment is on Jan. 12th. This is the one where I have to drink this stuff and sit there for 1 hour. They have to do some test on me to see if I have gestational diabetes. I am hoping everything goes well! I will be posting again at that time with an updated belly shot. :)

24 Weeks...6 MONTHS!!! WOW!

Wow is time flying fast! I can't believe I am at my 6 month mark already! It's crazy! I'm definitely getting bigger!!! The baby is moving around a ton now, too. It's so cool! I am noticing it's a bit harder to breathe...I guess my lungs are getting restricted a bit. I had my doctor's appointment on Wednesday and everything is still looking good! I am measuring right where I should be (even though I feel like I'm bigger than I should be) and the heart rate was 150. It was funny because while she was trying to get the heartbeat you could hear the baby moving around!! She even said, "Wow you have an active one in there!" As I'm typing it just kicked me, too! It's hilarious. However, every time Jeff puts his hand on my belly it stops. I think it gets content feeling Daddy's hand there :)

I am getting excited for next Christmas. I can't help but think about what it will be like next year at this time!

I am going to start registering for baby stuff while I'm on Christmas break. We also plan on starting the baby's room after the holiday's. I will post pictures of the progress once we start. We plan on painting, putting down Pergo floors and adding some lighting. Helps that Daddy's an electrician!

Ok well here's the updated belly shot. I apologize that it's kind of blurry. I did the best I could...
