Wasting the Day Away

I am a powerhouse when I want to be....I mean I will come in to work and seriously get my stuff done! I worked so hard and got so much done before lunch though that by the end of lunch (around 2-2:30) I was tired!!!

I figured I would just take it easy on myself and do a little "baby research." I have been looking at things and trying to come up with a tentative registry. Right now he and I have been really trying to research products and see what we think would be a good idea and what we really like and then see what stuff we can live without. I figure the earlier we start looking at all this stuff the earlier we can start figuring out how it works and whether it is actually worth getting or not. I just don't want to be rushed when we are making the registry. Also this helps us look at costs of things and assess/reassess whether the cost is really something that is needed or if we are still shopping in the clouds. Like the other day Stan and I went to babiesrus and just tried out strollers. We looked at patterns and then raced each other on who could put together the travel system the fastest. We chose one that was pretty easy to figure out and closed with one hand and everything. It was really fun and we spent a couple of hours out in the store just anaylizing each one that we thought was nice and came up with that.

I think it was last weekend Stan and I also went searching for bedding and I saw this cute bedding that said "Goodnight Baby Bear" and I fell in love. We decided we are going to do the nursery with teddy bear and blankets but in this nighty night feel. I think it is really personal to us but still has a lot of potential for things to buy. Still everything is tentative for now until we are a little closer to the due date then we will start honing in on what we really want.

People at work are saying that I am starting to show but I have a large tummy and I think they are just looking at it more so they think that I am showing although I have noticed my stomach's shape looks different then it had in the past which I have to say is rather exciting. I am glad that the morning sickness is pretty much over and once everything gets settled back at our house I can start assuming a more normal life (everything has been chaos recently with my Grandmother's passing, our new flooring, the baby, and helping John and Maggie to move into their gorgeous new home. (I am so excited for them and I wish I could help more. It is so cool though to see their furniture in it and it starting to become their house. Next it will be really cool to see when it is their home and they are all relaxed in it and going about with their regular lives. ) Anyways I am hoping once things stabilize I will be able to hang out with people a little more and starting getting a whole lot more social.
