WEEKEND UPDATE:In an attempt to be festive and get into the spirit of Christmas, we decorated the house this weekend. We put up a tree (its little, but does the job!), put lights up outside and even bought a poinsettia! I posted pictures of all of the above...enjoy!
PREGGERS UPDATE:
I definitely owe you an updated picture. Maybe I can get Jeff to take one tonight. On Tuesday and Wednesday my tummy was really really itchy, which was a first. With cocoa butter to the rescue, I didn't think much about it. Then on Thursday I woke up and I swear my belly grew over night! It seriously looked much bigger, was a little bit higher up, and felt a little bit harder...Soooo weird!
Went to the doc on Thursday for a routine check up and I have gained 10 pounds so far....really should only be about 8 at this point but hey, it was Thanksgiving and that's good for 2 pounds, right??
We listened to the baby's heartbeat and then did a quick sonogram. Baby was sleepy and didn't move very much but appears to be developing well. We have our ultrasound on Thursday morning--can't wait! I will make sure to drink lots of OJ so the baby moves around! I can't wait to know if we are having a little boy or a little girl!!!!
Overall, feeling very well. I have been walking almost everyday for 30-45 minutes and trying to keep healthy! Time seems to be flying by. I am thinking we should probably try to register at some point but all of that is so overwhelming to us. Why are there so many types of strollers and why are the price points all over the place? What make one better than the other when they all sort of look the same!? What about cribs? Do you need a crib that turns into a day bed and then into a full bed or do you just need a basic standard crib? Seriously I don't know how people make these decisions! I need a "How To" manual for what new moms need!

"Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy Gear" is all I have to say.
You could always email Kel and me and see what we did. That's what I did when I was registering. It's totally overwhelming and everyone is different. But, it's fun, nonetheless!
The house is B-E-A-UTIFUL!!
I'm an idiot.
It's Girlfriend's Guide to BABY Gear. DUH
I'm around for recommendations too and I highly recommend "Baby Bargains". If you don't already have a copy, let me know and I'll put my (written in) copy in the mail for you.
Your house looks great! We aren't getting a tree but I did manage to hang stockings over the fireplace and get a plant for out front.
I can't even imagine all the different things out there! Our parents had it easy as there were basically one or two brand of each thing all in one color!
