Checking In and Getting Ready...

Gosh... who knew that getting ready for our baby would be so much? So much fun! So much work! So much... so much! :)

The nursery room has about a dozen or so boxes that I need to clear out so that Steve can get it painted. I want it all painted - he wants to only paint the bottom portion. We'll see who wins. My vote is me. New Baby = New paint! :)

Yes, we've started our baby registry. Eventually we'll have them set up at Babies-R-Us, Target and Wal-Mart. Right now there's one at Babies-R-Us and one at Target, but the latter hasn't been completed yet. Reality is that we live SOOOO close to Wal-mart that I think we'll likely do most of our regular baby shopping there (even though everywhere else has adorable boy clothes!).

The bean? Oh you mean you really wanted a bean update? :) He's growing like a weed. As a result my belly is growing like mad. I am going to be huge when this little guy arrives - no laughing at me when you see me! :)  He loves to move around and surely will be an acrobat once he joins us. My team at work loves to watch my belly for his movement. We've found he really doesn't like meetings - especially ones with unpleasantness discussed! 

The doctor is planning for a c-section. I think it's because Steve was a big baby. That and... with our due date being so close to Christmas he probably doesn't want his holiday disturbed with our new addition. I can understand where he's coming from and it will be interesting to see how our bean's arrival pans out.
