I'm well into my second trimester and I feel great. Matt and I are slowly getting ready for a bundle of joy (emphasize on slowly). A few weeks ago we registered at Babies-R-US, we also plan to register at Target (coming soon). So far it has been a very overwhelming process. There are so many things to research! Library books have been very helpful, such as the latest version of 'consumer reports on baby stuff'. I guess I shouldn't get hung up with buying all these "things". This baby will have a house full of love and everything else will just fall into place. It's not going to matter if we have the perfect room or the right car seat. It will work, I'm sure of it.
So anyways, more updates, I'm obviously preggo now and strangers are starting to ask me - "when are you due?" Also people at work coming up to me saying - "I didn't know your were pregnant". Well guess what - I am. For the most part I'm still wearing all of my normal clothes. Recent styles have lent a hand, low rise jeans that sit under my belly, empire waist shirts, and long tank tops that cover my growing belly. I've raided a couple of my girlfriends' closets for maternity clothes which have been extremely helpful (Thank you --- Jill, April, Elena and Stephanie). As I continue to grow, I'm sure I will be referring to those bags more and more. I bought my first piece of my own maternity wear, a BeBand. Basically the bottom half of a tank top, you put it over pants that can't button any more. Plus it hold up your pants, no more pants gaping in the back when you bend over. I'm starting to think that this item might make an appearance in my regular wardrobe (post maternity).

We moved one of our bookcases out of the baby's room to the basement office, and got rid of a few books from it. A little bit at a time I keep telling myself. I think we found the crib we want at a local store, they have several in stock so we wouldn't have to worry about shipping and getting the crib in time. Also when we were at the baby store we bought a night light, twilight turtle it is the cutest thing, i love it.
