Halfway There!

We have officially reached 20 weeks! It is pretty surreal to the both of us how the last 20 weeks have flown by and how often it doesn't even seem real. I have a little bit of a belly but not too much going on:

In celebration of our 20 week mark, and the fact that this was the ONLY free weekend we have until January 14th, Rusty and I went ahead and worked on our registry. We drove out to a huge Babies R' Us in Memorial City to do the majority of our "shopping." I had made a nice long list of all of the things I had been told to register for. I highly recommend a little preparation before dragging your husband in a baby superstore! I armed Rusty with the scanner, which of course he loved, and we got started. About 2 hours later we had worked through almost everything on my list.

After a well deserved lunch at Freebirds, we headed to Target to start a registry there. Even though I despise Target's return policy I decided I really wanted to have a second option for folks. Since the Babies R' Us near us closed, it is somewhat of a pain to get shower gifts if there isn't a second store to shop at. Luckily, having already done the bulk of decision making registering at Target was a breeze.

Once we got home and rested for a little bit we started cleaning out the soon to be nursery. Seeing as we are not going to have much time at home this fall I really wanted to get a jump on cleaning everything out. As no surprise to many of y'all I already have a pretty strong "nesting" instinct. I have found bedding that I love and am now working on getting all of the other decor together. I am trying not to worry too much about the final product, but that is easier said than done. Luckily, I have Rusty to bring me back to Earth and remind me that we still have 20 weeks :)

The next update will be after my 24 week appointment in November. If we do anything major to the nursery, of course we will post that too!
