Before we left for Arizona my mom and I went to Babies R Us and registered. I must say that it was more fun registering for baby things than registering for our wedding three years ago. It was nice to have my mother there and between doing product research before hand and my mother’s opinion it made it not overwhelming, but fun.
We’ve had several people ask us if we’re registered anywhere or what we need. So, yes we’re registered at Babies R Us and we own a baby blanket (knitted by my great grandma) and a rattle given as an early baby gift so we need “everything.” 🙂 But really, we thought it would be a good idea to register since 1.) we’re in this awkward transition right now (not being near anyone we actually know well) so those who have asked can see what we need 2.) I’m a list maker, so this way we can put everything we will eventually need in one place and we get discounts by creating a registry 3.) For the fun of it…most people only register for their first child so even if we don’t have any baby showers etc. we experienced the fun of registering.
20 WEEKS!
As many of you know this past Tuesday we had our gender ultrasound and we’re having a BOY! We both kind of thought it was a boy (not sure why though) now we just need to choose a name. They didn’t do a 3D ultrasound, but it was still cool. He was all curled up in there so she had to move him around so we could find out if he was a boy, but then he wouldn’t stop moving.
How far along: 20 weeks
Baby size: 12 oz at our ultrasound on Tuesday

Names: not yet, it’s going to be tough.
Gender: BOY
Movement: I’m pretty sure I’ve felt it move, but it’s not very distinct yet.
Sleep: Just in the past two weeks it has gotten uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach. I didn’t realize how much I slept on my stomach before.
