baby is 24 weeks cooked! you know, i look at myself everyday in the mirror, but somehow fail to see the emerging ball on the front-side of me... until i see it in pictures! holy crap! it's a completely surreal experience that i am not sure that i will get used to. and what amazes me even more is when everyone tells me that with time and some work, the body eventually looks recognizable again. i think they all might be nuts.big week this last week:
* the registries were started(more on that later)
* the room was cleared out and the paint process has begun
* gabe's new job is in full swing
* my grandparents came out from oregon
* we got registered at the hospital!
* signed up for the labor and delivery class-yikes!
so, i didn't really expect to be completely overwhelmed by the registering process. i mean, i've registered before and everyone knows that i can shop, so this should be easy, right? WRONG!!! there is so much crap out there, who knows what you need. needless to say, i was a little overwhelmed. between the bottles, pacifiers, crib bedding, swings, bouncers, pack-n-plays, etc...this is a real science. i even went prepared with lists from books and websites and notes from girlfriends about what worked for them and what to stay away from. after, a few hours of what felt like aimless wandering, we finally returned our "gun" and went home to take a nap! my mom, sister and grandma came down while we were there just to get a good laugh in, i am sure, and what an experience that turned in to. gabe and alexi were off and scanning anything in sight...needless to say i had some editing to do once i got online! all are started and will need to be added to i'm sure. if anyone wants to check them out, they are at goores.com, babiesrus.com, and potterybarnbaby.com. feel free to let me know if there is something that you feel we won't be able to live without that isn't on there.
