Getting Registered

So I'm trying to get started with the baby registry, but there is just so much stuff.  I'm trying to choose the theme for the baby room and I'm kinda stuck right now.  The nerd part of me wants books, and words, and math problems painted on the walls...but I have to keep in mind, this is for a baby.  It's gotta be fun and cute.  But as you all know, I have aversion to all the cutesy, pink, ruffle stuff....yuck.  About the only thing that I have decided is that I want the walls to be a soft or sage green.  Muted and calming.

With the help of my family and friends, I have decided to go with the DaVinci Parker crib....now just deciding if I want the lighter Oak wood or darker Coffee wood color.

Now that the weather is a little warmer, I'm feeling more motivated to go look for all this stuff.  Besides the prompting of Baby Girl...she is really moving around ALOT lately.  I think she's trying to tell me to get a move on it.  I'm thinking if I can at least decide on the crib set, that will set the tone for everything else.  I'm going to try to match the stroller and other stuff with the crib set....oh the decisions to make!

I do have to say I am continually humbled and filled with gratitude by all the support I'm getting.  Just found out my cousin Tammy has a ton of girl stuff she can give me...including the bassinet I was looking for.  My cousin Kim is going to drop it off to my parents.  Another friend, Tosha, is dropping off baby stuff to me this week.  It's all gonna be alright.  Man I am reminded how God is a provider!!!

Back to the baby registry,  as I said I am still in the beginning stages...but I started a baby registry at:

23 weeks

As of 3/24/2011, I am 23 weeks preggo. I'm still freaking out about the whole thing. However it's finally starting to settle in with me. I have amazing friends and family that are helping me through this whole thing. I am so grateful and am leaning heavily on everybody for their support. There so many decisions to make, and soooo much I need to do to prepare, it just adds to the whole feeling of being overwhelmed by this unexpected turn in my life. I do recognize how I have a littel miracle growing inside me. It's truly amazing. I went to the OB today and heard her little heartbeat again...truly amazing. Everything checked out OK. My blood pressure is really good. I only gained 3 pounds from my last office visit last month, but it feels like I've gained so much more. The next office visit will be the glucose test. Baby Girl has been really active today...it still feels pretty funny feeling her moving around in my belly. Still am getting used to that.

I haven't set up a baby registry anywhere yet.   Although I did start creating a wish list on Amazon.com:

I gotta start making decisions on what to get pretty soon...but for now I'm just compiling a list of stuff for Kid Kuddles.
