No doubt about it.....

the belly is GROWING!! You would think with how busy we have been over the last few weeks, I would be working off all the extra growth. But, baby knows best, and keeps on getting bigger and bigger. The big news around here is that our house is on the market, we found a condo to rent in Shadyside for next year, and I spend 100% of my free time on the internet designing the nursery :) The plans have changed a million and one times from silver sage paint, to green, maybe yellow, back to light blue.....so you will definitely have to stay tuned for the end result. I have about 10 bedding sets that are in the running! In other big news-we took a big trip to Babies R Us this weekend to do the preliminary scouting out for a little baby registry. Nothing is up and running as of yet, but we are in the thinking process. I must say, it is quite overwhelming how many baby supplies are out there on the market. Good thing lots can be done online. I know many people have asked where we are going to register-and BRU is at the top of the list and we may add one other just for variety. As always...stay tuned. The only other big development to report is that I started having some Braxton Hicks contractions?!?! Seems awful early to me (26wks). The are VERY irregular and not painful at all-but just somewhat unexpected for this early on in the pregnancy. I will run it by my DR at the next visit just to ease my mind. Oh and speaking of Doctors-I had an appointment at Magee while in Pittsburgh last week-so we have someone to catch this baby wherever we may live at the time. I really like the group in Pgh and for many reasons we are planning and hoping that the big occasion will occur once we are settled in the burgh! So, until next time-look at this BELLY!! I think another "who has the bigger belly competition" with my dad may be in order soon. He does not have too much longer to win....
