surprisingly it looks smaller on film

2o weeks gone by now … we’re halfway there!  When I look down at my stomach I swear it’s 5 times bigger than it looks here.  Maybe because in this picture in comparison to the fridge it is much smaller?

Anyhoo …

We bought the first thing for the baby yesterday!

It’s soft and cuddly and it’s a monkey so it’s automatically adorable.  Emma helped pick it out.  Emma and I are blankie people.  Ray says this baby is not going to have a blankie, but we know that’s just crazy talk.

We registered yesterday at Target.  That was eye opening.  I can’t believe how much more expensive crap is now!  It’s only been 5 years!  It was fun though.  I haven’t really gotten excited, everything feels slightly unreal.  Picking out little towels and seeing all the cute new stuff there is now made everything real!  Coupled with the fact that we’re at the halfway mark brings a bit of relief as well.

So we’ve begun the registering!  We’ll register at Babies R Us & Buy Buy Baby too because you get goodies for registering!  That and you get a 15% completion discount to purchase things off the registry you didn’t get.  We’ll be putting lots of diapers on there.  Plus, you get to walk around the store with a scanner.  That’s always a good time.
