Checking Back In

I just realized that I have not blogged in almost a month and so much has happened!  We took a trip up north to see family, pick up the jewelry armoire that my dad made for me, and have our first baby shower.  We had our second ultrasound and found out we're having a boy!  I applied for an exciting job that I really hope I get.  We have completed about 90% of the nursery in the last week alone!  It's been crazy...I have so much to blog about!

The Name Listing

Joe decided that I should be the one to make the list.  He didn't feel like he would be good at coming up with names, so I should make the list and he would help me narrow it down.  So...I spent a good couple of hours scouring the name listing at babycenter.com and this is what I came up with:

Parasites and Panic

Pregnancy is such a weird phenomenon.  I was in bed last night unable to sleep and all I could think about was how weird this whole thing is.  I find it so hard to understand how girls are like, "It's the most beautiful thing you'll ever experience" and "you feel like such a woman."  Whatever...

Keeping Up with Myself

I began to think about the possibility of doing some maternity modeling while I am sitting on my behind doing nothing.  Not sure if anything will come out of it, since it is kind of a small industry and who knows if I am even a good candidate, but it's worth a shot.

I submitted my info and photos to the one maternity modeling agency I found online (several websites said this was the only legit site) and my application is pending.  I think they have an office in Florida, so that would be ideal since NYC and CA are kind of far to travel.  

Approaching Milestones

Been feeling pretty good lately, although decidedly I need to start eating better and working out more.  I am so eager to fall off the band wagon for just about anything.

This morning I went on a 2.2 mile walk.  Ideally, I would like to do that walk 3 times a week, and go to the gm the other two days.   I also need to eat more fruits and vegetables...I've barely touched a vegetable for the longest time. 

Collecting Stuff

I thought I needed to do a post with all of the pcitures of "stuff" we have accumulated already.  We are in the process of redoing the nursery, but don't know the gender yet, so it's a bit slow.  We hope to find out in the next few weeks, so the planning (and shopping) can really begin!

So, my sister had a girl about 6 years ago and gave me a ton of stuff!  Most of it is sizes 3-6 years, so I can't use it yet.  What I think we are going to do is keep the stuff I know I want, then see if Joe's niece will wear any of the other stuff.  She is turning 3 this summer, so it should be just perfect for her.

Here's some of the stuff I kept from that pile (most of which is stuff I bought her for birthdays, x-mas, etc...)

So much to blog about!!

I have so much exciting stuff to post and have been too busy to do it!  I will need to set aside some time to knock all this out.

But I wanted to do a short post on my new love, myregistry.com.  It's a site that allows you to add items from any site, even just one item, using this one site.  This way, you don't have to create a registry on every single site you go to and find something you like...it's all on one.
