But besides the amazing expanding belly {and butt!} there are only good things. I have had a fantastic pregnancy thus far, with little to no sickness, and that's really all I could ask for. The kicking has started, and we now know the sex of the baby, so the nursery decorating and clothes buying are about to start. I'm having a really hard time figuring out what I need though, and I'm not about to run out and register for a whole room full of things I won't use. So any and all input is greatly appreciated! The only things we're sure of at this point? We will be using an organic mattress, trying our hand at cloth diapering, most definitely breastfeeding and the chair will most assuredly be painted pink. Besides that, I'm lost. And trying to agree on a name?! Oi vey.
For now, here is the new and improved giant me:
And some prints I designed for the nursery:

You do NOT look like a giant. Enjoy this part, the kicking and moving, they are so amazing. If you are breast feeding, a Boppy pillow is a must. I used a bouncy seat and swing for all my bambinos. The pack n' play is convenient for travel or to set up in the living room to keep baby safe. Of course in a two story house a baby monitor comes in real handy. Those leather mini star slippers from Target are just as good as Robeez and so much cheap. Not necessary for the tiny baby but once wriggling and rolling starts, very helpful. Especially in the cooler months. I would opt for the jogging stroller with the rotating front wheel. It's good for the mall or for off road. Get a good brand. And none of my kids would have survived without a doorway jumper or as the stationary ones are called 'jumperoo'once they could sit up, they spent hours in that thing. They loved it! That's all I have for now, if I think of anything really important, I'll let you know. No worries, you'll do great, as long as you can handle weeks of sleep deprivation. :)
