So Saturday I decided I was going to go register for the baby. I will admit, it was a little bit intimitdating. Of course there were about 5 other couples registering at the same time and I was the only pregnant lady by myself. I started at the bottle/pacifier aisle (which seemed about a mile long and twenty feet high). Why does there have to be soooo many choices these days. I had know idea what I was doing. So after about a three hours wandering around aimlessly, I had successfully scanned about 10 things. I am going to go back and finish, but will probably wait until someone who knows something about babies can come with and help. I've also decided that I would like Santa to bring me both a sewing machine and a Cuisnart. I am going to attempt to start sewing - it would be nice to be able to make my own baby/kids cloths. And I also want to try making my own baby food. Baby food is way expensive, for like two spoonfuls of food. Plus this way it won't have all that extra crap like perservatives, food dye, sugar, etc. Well, I may not succeed at either of these endeavors but at least I will have tried. Ok... off to bed. P.S. I still have yet for someone to ask me if I am pregnant/when I am due/if I know what I am having... etc.... Come on people! Do I just look fat or what?

And so it begins...

Ok, so I've finally, finally started a blog. Although I've always thought a blog would be a great forum to just write about anything whenever I wanted, I'm not sure if I am quite comfortable with the idea of random people reading it. Its still kind of weird. But oh well.. at least it gets me to write again. Which I love to do and probably haven't really done it since, oh I don't know, I was in school. I really don't have to much to write about today but I do want to say a few things to this little being I have growing inside of me.

I am 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant with you today. We had our ultrasound on Oct. 10th and found out you are a girl! Or as our Dr. put it... "I definitly see no boy parts". It has become a daily ritual for you to kick me in the bladder whenever you feel like it. Although this is very physically uncomfortable it is comforting to known you are making yourself right at home in there (but don't get to comfortable... this is not a permanent living arrangment). I have so far had a pretty easy pregnancy, thank God! I have not thrown up once and I have yet to see any stretch marks (knock on wood)!! This time with you is going by quite fast, and before you know it you will be 6 years old and telling me that NEED to have a cell phone. Oh the joy!

PS. I will post some ultrasound pics as soon as I get my scanner up and running again.
