24 Weeks

It's been pointed out that I've been remiss in updating, so here goes. I've made it halfway it seems. According to my doctor's I'm having a "textbook" pregnancy. According to me, the baby is trying to kill me. The month of June has been rough. I'm not sure I've thrown up this much since college. At least in college the night before was fun. Other than feeling pretty bad, I guess things are coming along. The nursery is almost ready for paint and I'm hoping to get a lot of that done over the long weekend coming up. I've decided on a theme, Mocha Ladybug.

It's still pink, but I think there are enough other colors that it's not too pink. I'm going to tone it down by painting the walls a light brown on top and dark brown on the bottom with a white stripe in between. The white stripe will have pink and brown polka dots. I know, a little ambitious, but that's how I roll.

We also undertook the huge task of registering. Chris started having chest pains, but seemed to feel better after he got to play with the registering gun. It's amazing 1) how much baby crap there is, and 2) how much the baby crap costs. Hopefully we hit the important stuff, but I'm sure there will be many a trip out to the store in the beginning. There is a car seat, pack-n-play w/ a bassinet, and some diapers, so hopefully that will at least get us home from the hospital and through the first night. I'm not in full-on freak-out just yet, but I think it's right around the corner. Thank goodness for all you friends out there that are old pros at this. I'm gonna need ya!

Ok, here it is, because I know you want to see it. All of you who know me well know that I hate to have my picture taken. However, since this is probably a once in a lifetime thing I'll give into the internets......

Jethro wanted to say hi too! That's it for now. I'll try to be better about updating.
