Finished?

I didn't think it could be done, but I think I may have actually finished the baby registries (FINALLY)!  I'm sure I'll probably throw on an extra item or two if something comes to mind, but it's a good thing I'm done, since the baby shower invites went out in the mail this week.  (Speaking of invites, if you got one for the shower in MA, you'll also be receiving a card with the corrected phone number for our wonderful hostess - just chalk it up to my pregnancy brain and a misplaced finger on the keyboard!)

It's been a fairly uneventful week here in the LaTour household.  Baby has been moving around pretty regularly - and the movements have shifted from 9pm all the way up to 9am!  (Church was an interesting experience this past Sunday - try listening attentively to the priest's homily when your baby is tickling you inside!)  Yesterday was a quiet day though; I think baby was lulled to sleep by my vacuuming/mopping/dusting/laundry (Whew!  I'm exhausted just reading about it!), the time my niece and I spent putting together the shower favors (thanks, Justine!), and my assembly line for 6 diaper cakes (courtesy of my friend Janet who has been passing along extra diapers once her twins grow out of a particular size).

I realized the other day that my nausea when teeth brushing is now completely gone!  That was a wonderfully happy moment, trust me!  Of course, it's been replaced with swollen ankles which have even appeared as soon as 2 hours after I get out of bed (when I am actively moving around to get stuff done).  Luckily, the "cankles" go away after an hour of putting my feet up or overnight, and it's not very painful.  And, frankly, if that's the only symptom that's an inconvenience during the 2nd trimester, I can deal with it.

21 Weeks Pregnant

I'm waiting for the other piece of Craig's Father's Day gift to arrive (and it might not for another month yet unfortunately), but the first piece arrived the other day.  Hopefully, I can get a picture of him in/with it to share on the blog.  Sorry for the suspense; I don't want to give the surprise away!

We're eagerly anticipating the next (extra) ultrasound in a little over a week, followed by the next doctor's visit the following week.  Neither of us can believe how fast the time is flying!  I'm already past the 5 month mark!  Just a few more short months until we meet baby!  Can't wait!
