A Grown Man Cries & Lastest Check Up

I feel better that I'm not the only one getting the "weepies" with this pregnancy, and that small things can trigger the weepies for a grown man as much as it can for me. Last week while Scott and I were at Ollie's, I came across a little board-book called "I'll love you no matter what" and decided to grab it for the baby. Upon giving it to my big strong man, I hear "uh, I need to go check something." Thinking that maybe he forgot something in a different aisle, etc. I asked him what he forgot, and when I look up at him, I see the glassy eyes filling with tears. :-) Yes, my grown man "just thought about the fact that I will have a child to read books to" and became a bit overcome with emotion. It was absolutely one of the sweetest things I have ever seen, and it was so wonderful to know that this is something that makes him so happy also. :-D

Friday was our most recent midwife appointment, and so far we have seen 3 of the 6 midwives at the office. 2 of the three I have really liked, but one I thought could jump out a window. Hahaha. Baby had a good strong heartbeat, and we were able to find it right away with the doppler. We discussed induction and my strong resistance to the use of potocin if at all possible. The midwife said that everything sounded great with the baby and that we are able to have our next ultrasound right at 20 weeks, which is just under 3 weeks from now, and that will be when we can find out gender. Our next appointment is Friday the 22nd, and hopefully we will be able to find out if we will be having a little boy or a little girl then!!! :-)

Other than that, Hailey is almost completely house trained! YAY! Scott was at drill this weekend, so I relaxed since the next couple of weeks are going to be kind of nuts for me. Next week I have the final prep for a big conference at work, and then from Saturday through Wednesday I will be in Baltimore to work the booth for the conference. I will definitely be good and tuckered out by the time I get back!

Hope all is well for all of you!

Baby Registry

OUR BABY REGISTRY

We are registered at Target for the baby. Please know, what we are registered for is "pie in the sky" or the ideal, but are not at all against and truly welcome hand-me-downs and the likes. :-) The registry is meant more as a guide of the sorts of things we are looking for.

Notes:
- Our registry is marked as private and requires the registry ID, not just our names to find it. We may open it up at a later time, but due to Scott's current situation, we figure it best for now to keep it "locked down." Registry ID: 014399701537682

- We would like all things like travel systems, bouncers, playyards, etc. to be gender neutral please. We don't plan on only having one child and would prefer not to have to put a second child in a non-gender matched item because it's what we have, or buy new for a second baby. :-) The only things we plan on having gender-specific are crib-sets/decor and clothing. We are planning to find out the gender, and I will update the registry with gender-specific items once the time comes.

- A few items are specific, such as bottle brands and the medela breast pump. I have chosen the bottle brand because I will be nursing for the first 6 months minimum, and they have been recommended as the best for when I cannot be present for a breastfed baby once I go back to work. The nipples are specifically meant to make the baby work like it would have to when breastfeeding, so that it won't start rejecting me over the easier bottle nipple.

Thank you for all your support! We appreciate everything!!!
