The Overwhelming Gift Registries

We finally started our gift registries recently. So, we have one with Babies R Us/Toys R Us and one with Baby Depot (in Burlington)...so far. :) There are so may things needed for a baby that I have not thought of and many options available. So, it takes lots of time to choose what we like, what is most practical, and what will be best for our baby. Whew! It can get tiring! We finally found a stroller combo that we liked and Michael wanted to buy it right away. Who can blame him? It is the perfect one for us. But, we decided to wait. God blessed our decision with a $100 gift card for there from our church (for him co-leading VBS). But, added together we would need $50 more. So, we waited some more. When we went to register there they were having a huge sale. We ended up paying less than $10 AND getting a FREE (adorable) light weight push stroller. Here is a picture of this stuff...


At Baby Depot we are only registered for bedding, so far. We have found a cute and really nice Noah's Arc bedding set (Two by Two). It's funny how we have been having a hard time finding certain things we like and then we run into just the right one and we both love it. It's also funny how everything is ending up to have elephants in it.
We still have a long ways to go in registery world. So, hopefully we will find the time one of these weekends!

My parents and Scott were here to visit for the weekend. It was so nice to see them and to just hang out and have a nice relaxing time together. Strangely, I had a few weird dreams over the weekend - I guess that happens with being pregnant sometimes. They were fun to share with them all though.

I think I have been feeling the baby move more lately and it's supposed to be about 5 inches long now. Michael can't wait until he can feel it move too, but he is reasured that I can feel it at least. He noticed today that my belly button is starting to come out a little. I guess there is not even room for that with the baby in there. Interesting.
