Gift Registries

After having to make many decisions (which is not easy for me!), I have completed my baby registries.  :) We are registered at:

 - BuyBuyBaby - www.buybuybaby.com
 - Babies R Us - www.babiesrus.com
 - Target - www.target.com

I am still deciding on the bedding and other big items (chair and dresser) for the baby's bedroom.  Hopefully I will know more soon!

It's A Girl!

Sorry this is a little late, but we are having a girl!  We went to the doctor two weeks ago to have an ultrasound and the nurse said she is clearly a girl.  :)  We had seven people in the ultrasound room which was hilarious.  Bryan, his mom and grandmother, my mom, dad, Lauren and Emily were all in the room with the nurse and me while she did the ultrasound.  It was quite the experience!

Bryan and I have decided on a name for our baby girl, but we are not telling anyone.  (And it is not Emma Kate for those of you who are wondering that.)  You will have to wait until she is born to find out!

I have my next appointment on April 18 - just a check up.  We will have to register with the hospital, choose a pediatrician, and sign up for prenatal classes.

My ankles are starting to swell most nights after standing up teaching all day.  The nurse says not to worry about it but to drink lots of water.  Other than that and having a hard time getting comfortable to sleep, I am feeling good!  I can feel her moving a couple times a day - it literally feels like my stomach is doing flips!  Bryan thinks he felt her move one time, but it may be a little early.  The doctor said around 28 weeks (4 more weeks), he will definitely be able to feel her jumping around.  She is growing so fast - August 3 is coming in a hurry!
