July is Gone Already?

I figure I should at least get one post in for the month of July. My contributions to this "blog" have been ridiculously small considering all of the current events. Baby boy coming, summer shenanigans, Harry Potter - what more could one ask for? But alas, my last post referenced the Bud Light swear jar commercial, ah well. Best intentions.

I'm a little over 1/2 way through the pregnancy. 23 weeks. I can't really complain about anything. I have developed a belly in the last few weeks, but continue to only have minimal symptoms - heartburn is the symptom of the month. Raging, fire-breathing heartburn. But if that's it, I'll do just fine. First no morning sickness, now a little heartburn. I'm afraid this will all catch up to me in the third trimester, but I'm trying to stay in the moment.

It's hard to believe sometimes what's really going on. I mean, right now, there is a little human inside me wiggling around. He moves a lot. Isn't that crazy? And in another few months, he'll be wiggling around in our arms. How does this happen? We have a nursery picked out, but it's empty right now. We completed registries at babies 'r us, target and amazon.com, which was both fun, and completely overwhelming. Talk about too many choices. . .oy. Babies 'r us superstore is like a Super Target with only baby items. We got out our little checklist from Consumer Reports, then proceeded to use their Best Baby Products book to register for the "CR Best Buy" for what felt like 3,000 items.

I would post the pics from our last ultrasound, but I only have two. One of his legs, and one of his, well. . .man tackle. The ultrasound tech was obviously impressed and thought it should be on our fridge. So there it resides.

I guess that's all for now. I'm going to try to post more often, I suppose I can only go up from here!
