Registries!

Brent and I tackled the daunting task of creating baby registries this weekend. What a process! There are SO many choices, and it got overwhelming at points! However, I think we accomplished what we set out to do. Our registries can be viewed at:
www.babiesrus.com
www.babydepot.com

Both places offer both online and in-store options, which is nice. Plus, I can edit them online if needed.

Thanks to everyone for all of the love and support we've received so far. I have my next doctor appointment this coming Thursday, and another ultrasound scheduled for December 1st. After the last ultrasound, the midwife called with a few concerns. She said that my placenta was "low lying," which, for now, is not something to be TOO concerned about. In the reading I found, 90-95% of low lying placentas correct themselves in time. If I still have the problem at 28+ weeks, then that could mean either bed rest for me, or other precautions. For now though, I have to keep telling myself that most of them correct themselves, and there isn't anything I can do about it to make it any better. I'll post updates after the next ultrasound to see if it has moved or not.
Hugs!

It's a....






BOY!!! I had my 20 week ultrasound scheduled for today. Well, the doctors office called me this morning to tell me that the ultrasound tech went home sick. I asked if there was anything we could do, and they said they'd call the hospital to see if they could get me in. Well, they did, and I was sooo relieved! We got there (we being myself, Brent, mom, Brent's mom, and my dad), and for a bit it was just Brent, the tech and I. He spent the first 20 minutes or so doing measurements and such, but at one point he just asked, "so do you want to know what your having?" I looked at the screen, and we could both tell it was a boy! Mom and Wendy were allowed to come in then (dad opted to wait in the lobby), and we had a lot of laughs with the tech, and got some good pics. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get any 3D pics, but there was someone else waiting, and since they had to squeeze me in today, I wasn't going to complain about it. My next appointment is November 19th, so I should have more updates then.
