Our Little Pumpkin is on the Move!

Our little pumpkin is making his presence known more and more every day! Not only is my stomach getting bigger [seemingly by the hour] but now his movements are noticeable on the outside of my stomach! I first noticed this last night when I was reclined back watching TV. I have noticed his movements feel stronger and more prevalent lately and I saw something out of the corner of my eye and looked down and he was making my tummy move! It was so neat! I excitedly told Nick to look over at my stomach and he could see it too. It was so strange but so cool all at the same time. He continued to do it off and on until I went to sleep. This morning, I was standing up and a client was sitting down, more or less at eye level with my stomach, and she pointed out that she could see him moving! It is really neat that other people can see the movements now and I'm not the only one who is aware of them. I am always trying to get Nick to feel him moving around, but 99% of the time he stops moving when I put his hand there. Maybe he's going to be a stubborn kid!

This past Saturday, Betty, Melanie and I went shopping for Baby and bought him tons of super cute clothes! He is going to look so cute in all of the things we found for him. Since he is supposedly going to be on the larger side, we had to make sure and buy only 3 months and up sizes. The teeny newborn stuff clearly isn't going to fit based on the size charts. Sunday, Nick and I registered at Babies R Us and I have to admit it wasn't as fun as I imagined it would be. The registry lady was not all that helpful and instead of answering my questions with a straight answer, she was very overwhelming and kind of pushy. She kept insisting on wanting to add comments and things to my registry that I didn't want her to, which was quite aggravating. We registered for the majority of things, but by the time we made it up to the feeding and infant toy section, I had had it and I told Nick I wanted to go home! I had had enough at that point and I can either finish up the registry another weekend or online or both. Nick helped me pick everything else out, so I can just go and finish it up myself. I'm going to have to do some more research before I finish anyway...there are millions of different kinds of bottles, not to mention all of the coordinating stuff that goes with them.

For those of you who are asking - no, still no decision on a name yet. We'll share as soon as we know it...I'm just not sure when that will be. It's definitely not for lack of trying, that's for sure.
