jake's getting bigger and therefore, i'm getting bigger. i received a very nice compliment the other day :: "you could eat anything you wanted and still not look pregnant from behind." well, i'm glad to know that my butt isn't getting any bigger. that made me laugh.
my latest cravings consist of cereal, sour cream and onion chips, and milk. i'm still wearing some of my pre-pregnancy clothes (thanks to the bella bands) but have invested in a few more maternity items. my belly button is getting shallow...i'm guessing it will soon disappear. no stretch marks so far (thanks to valerie's dad - a former student of mine). his advice to me was to get the cheapest cocoa butter cream and rub it on my belly (and breasts) every night. he said his wife never got any stretch marks, so i gladly took his advice.
josh and i finally went to register at babies r us. we went on a friday night, so we both were tired from work that day (but we wanted to be lazy and enjoy our saturday at home). i had already registered for a few items online and figured we would just register for a few more things and go back another time. well....they (babies r us) hand you this "recommended items list" and yikes!!! it was very overwhelming. we started at the bottles and there were about 5 brands to choose from. i stood there for a few minutes just looking at all the different kinds. josh put his hand on my back and softly asked me if i wanted to come back to this section...obviously he could clearly see the confusion on my face. on we went. long story short :: we registerd for almost 80 items that night. josh got pretty excited about making sure everything matched and wanted jake to have the coolest clothes. we stopped on the way home for a much deserved milkshake. oh, and just in case you're curious what kind of bottles i ended up getting...playtex.
