~Registering~

So with the aid of a very good and patient friend I braved the strange new world of Babies R' Us. Without her knowledge of all things pertaining to baby, I think the closing staff would have found me huddled in a corner holding onto a new found blankie muttering things like "pack n play" and "strollers" over and over again in complete and utter delirium. As it was I saved from this fate by said good and patient friend and ended the quest with what I thought to be a mild success and a belly full of Red Robin guacamole bacon cheeseburger with a chocolate malt chaser.

I say "mild success" due to the fact that I was having OCD issues with matching sets and having a mental blockage about how in the world can these be the only colors/patterns I can choose from? So after selecting what I thought to be the best representation of said items (so I could remember what 'system' I wanted), and after the food hangover had passed, I sat down at my trusty computer and logged in to one of the best kept secrets (I think) on the planet: http://www.myregistry.com, which I learned about in my prenatal yoga class (which I have to give props to here because I love it so so much: http://www.lotusyogaspace.com/). I heart this site. In a nutshell, you can shop any online (or offline) store in the world and add whatever you see to your registry. This allows you to get register for whatever you want where ever you want, and also allows you to shop around for the best prices on each item. It is fabulous.

So, I had the Babies R' Us registry in one tab (my reference point), the My Registry in a second tab and then a product review guide in a third tab. Not to mention all the other tabs I opened up here and there for comparison price shopping. Happily, after I had finished I was able to add exactly what I wanted and not have to settle for patterns or colors I just didn't find all that appealing. Needless to say when I was done selecting, deleting, and reading, I had a raging headache and was pining for a nice glass (or bottle) of wine, which of course I was not able to indulge in.

On the whole though, I think I might actually be finished, which is a good thing because it is one less thing I need to get done but on the bad side it will give me oodles of time to second guess myself and wonder about this and that as the shower invitations will not go out for at least a month now.

Pink or Blue?

So we were finally indulged by the doctor and on March 12 we found out we are having a little girl! Yay! We are so excited and could not be happier.

We went browsing for furniture yesterday and found some nice things..and they didn't smell funny either which was nice. I do recall going shopping with a very dear friends for furniture for her little one and she noted to me most of the stuff "smelled like chemicals". Turns out she was totally right! Most of the stuff *does* smell 'odd', but then again it is difficult to find something that smells like wood too. So anyways..my point is, the stuff we found smelled like neither..so I was good with that.

Thinking of a pink and brown theme for the room with pink walls (of course!) to boot! Scott is gong to be thrilled to paint that room again..haha..oh well..he won't let me do it so I guess he is the only one left!

~Pampering~

Ahh..so I have just come off a weekend of much needed pampering. Jeff had a business sort of weekend he needed to attend at the "Cranwell resort & Spa" in Lenox Massachusetts and so of course the ladies tagged along.

Friday began with a pedicure and a leisurley stroll through the Outlets. We knew we were coming back on Saturday so this was kind of a preview day. Light kunch back at the Spa and then a plesent afternoon of quiet and reading. And seeing Jeff was required at his company's table for dinner, room service rounded out the day. On saturday we woke and were ready to shop! Although I have to say since the lady I went with is also pregnant and due in June, clothes shopping was not nearly as much fun as it had been in past visits to Lenox. So man things in J.Crew we just sighed wistfully at and moved on. So what's a girl to do? A girl buys an adorable pink canvas purse from Polo..those always fit!

Later that day after a brief stint in my whirlpool tub (I so need one os these in my house!) I went for my first pre-natal massage. It was wonderful..this woman left no muscle wanting. By the time I went to dinner that night with everyone I felt like a bowl of jelly and was useless! But it was so worth it!

I was going to go to my first pre-natal Yoga class monday, however, Jack Frost had other ideas and dumped 12 inches of snow on us that day and the studio was closed. I guess I have to wait anoither week!
