6 months!

According to my calculations, today is my 6 month mark! Only three months to go! So far this pregnancy has gone by pretty fast. Probably because I am so preoccupied with work. I have a feeling if i just sat at home all day the months would be creepying by.

Heath and i decided to get a head start and began taking child birthing classes last night. it's definitely informative. Our instructor went over the normal, i assume, things to cover in the first class. What a woman's body looks like inside prepregnancy and during, that there will be pain, and she compared the dialation of a woman's cervix from staring out the size of a cherrio, and ending the size of an english muffin. i may never look at those breakfast foods the same way again. But she really is cool, and has a great sense of humor. And I feel confident asking her a question, which is the important thing. And apparently im not alone when i get winded going up two flights of stairs. Guess thats pretty common when youre pregnant. Thought i was terribly out of shape for awhile. Oh well, we'll see how next week's class goes!

Baby-kicks-a-lot

I realize it's been awhile since my last post, but we've just been so busy! Ever since we found out the sex of the baby we have been registering like crazy! So far we're registered at Walmart, Target and Shopko. Registering for a wedding is a hell of a lot easier than regsitering for a baby! Atleast for our wedding we knew what we wanted and were familiar with the products we were registering for. With baby stuff there's so much to research, I feel like I'm being put through some sort of baby item test, and if we don't have it we're screwed.

I thought I had an idea for decorating the baby's room. So far the walls are yellow....... We thought having yellow walls would cheer up the room a little, and give us a positive thought when we had to walk in for 2, 3 or 4 am feedings. Well, MORE of a positive thought. ;) We didn't want pink or blue. I was thinking a dark brown and pink as accent colors, but I may need a little help with it.

I'm also trying to wrap my head around the thought of having a little girl. I was never a girlie girl, always a tomboy. I never played with dolls or had tea parties, and if our girl is into that I'm not sure how to deal with it. Maybe decorating the room with decals of pink cows will help. After all, she'll probably be showing cattle in about 6 years!

I'm thinking she'll have some aggressivness to her. She's been kicking me like crazy! I think she's trying to kick my belly button out so that it turns into an outie, or as Heath would say my "turkey timer." He always asks "Is it done yet?!" No, no it's not.

The little kicks are cute, and kind of gives me a warm fuzzy just thinking about her. But when she really gets to kicking I have to yell out "Baby!!!" and push my stomach a little. It doesn't always stop her, which goes to show she may or may not be stubborn. She gets that from her dad....;)
