Okay, so I know it's FRIDAY, but Chris took this picture SUNDAY. Oops.
We're a little behind...life has been so busy! You will notice I am
slowly but surely getting pudgier. Almost, almost, almost a real belly.
ALMOST! I can say for sure that Gianna is sitting a little higher up
now, as I can feel kicks all over the place and not just below the belly
button. She does still favor sitting a little lower though, and when I
wake up in the morning, she's nearly always shoved herself all the way
down. Hopefully she's cozy. :-)
This next one is a little blurry, but on Saturday last week, Chris and I walked to Barnes and Nobles to get on the internet and stopped at the infamous Racquet and Jog. It's notorious in Tyler (Literally on the "You know from Tyler, TX when....list) and every time you're out, you WILL inevitably see someone wearing one of their bright Racquet and Jog shirts. I figured, since Gianna will be born in Tyler, she should be an "official" resident, so we an R&J onesie :) It's the first thing we've bought her, so it was pretty exciting (for me at least).
One great thing about living here in Tyler is the accessibility of everything. I've been walking 2-4 miles on most days either on the nearby walking trails or running errands to Walmart/Target/Barnes and Noble to use the internet/Brookshires/Mall/Michael's, etc. The weather's been so nice and I could definitely use the exercise, especially now that I'm without a local 24Hour Fitness! While another perk is not having to use the truck (Chris drives my car to work because it gets better gas mileage), I'm more happy about being able to multi-task errands and exercise than I am about being "green" :-)
--------------------------------
And finally the question everyone has been asking....
I'm happy to say that I'm pretty much finished with Gianna's baby registry!!!
I'm not very good at registering, as it really stresses me out (I had horror flashbacks of wedding registry) because accumulating "stuff" really stressed me out. And the thing is, getting married, I pretty much knew what we would need. A baby though? Clue. Less. With very little exception, we use every single thing that we got off our registry, so I hope we're as successful with Gianna's stuff.
One thing I'm still working on is cloth diapers and which ones I want, but my friend Renee is going to help me sort that out next weekend.
We registered in two places, and they serve different purposes:
Target: they've got all the basics, most of which is in store
Amazon: they've got more unique stuff I was interested in, like "mama stuff", religious stuff, cloth diapers and things related to that nature, bedding, etc
I would first like to upfront say how blessed we are to have so many people who have asked what they can buy for Gianna or where we registered--thank you! In all though, the best and most important thing that you can give our little G is your prayer and love! Please pray for her safe arrival and for her to lead a Christian life, whether that's in your daily prayers or by offering a Mass for her. Please also pray for Chris and I to have the grace to parent according to God's principles. Thank you all!!!!
