Caitlin's Shower

Today I went to my first baby shower, so funny that I go to my first baby shower while I am pregnant! It was for Miss Caitlin who is due March 6th, just 2 months before me. She is having a little boy too and naming him Oliver, I can't wait for him to have playdates with Parker. It was a lot of fun we played silly games like: Guess the Candy Bar (looking/smelling melted candy bars in diapers) and Draw little Oliver (drawing on a paper plate on your head).

She had a great turn out and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. I am so excited for mine to be here! Can't wait to have all my friends together and celebrate little PJ!



Little Flutters

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were big things." ~ Kurt Vonnegut

Today I started feeling PJ moving around. It is so crazy that there is a little boy growing in my belly! I love the little flutters it is just a reminder that he is alive and well in there. So far they have been very small and hardly noticeable but I am sure he will feel like he is going to kick through my stomach before it is all said and done.

I can't wait for Paul to be able to feel him too. I know he will be so excited but for now it is just a little mother son bonding!

Getting Registered

This weekend Mom, Dad, and Britt came down to visit. The girls went to Babies "R" Us to meet with a personal shopper and get baby registering started. We went through the store learning what to register for, Brittany was in charge of scanning the items we picked out. Babies need so much it is crazy! We picked out a stroller, carseat, highchair, pack'n play, bouncer, swing, bottles, breast pump, blankets, burp clothes, clothes, and that is just the beginning. Also we made sure to register for diapers and other necessities since that stuff adds up quick too. It was nice to have the personal shopper to give advice and let us know what we need as well as what the popular brands are, since I have no idea and it has been almost 25 years since Mom did this.

I did buy some maternity clothes; a cute blue dress and a grey & white stripped shirt. PJ is growing so quick I am going to be happy to have these! So far all I have maternity wise is a green sweater, I am lucky enough to wear what I have so far but I know that will change quick. 

After our busy morning of shopping, we had a nice lunch out at Applebee's, which was fun because we used to eat there all the time when I lived at home but Paul and I rarely eat there now. It was like a little blast from the past.
