AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! two. more. days!! or well actually - only one more day to wait!! tomorrow is going to be the longest day EVER. *sigh* ive been talking to this little bug about showing the goods. we need the money shot on tuesday. this is the one time in life i'll ASK my child to flash the world... i promise. never again will i ask my child to do that. promise!!
im a little excited, can you tell?? im praying that the scan shows that everything is moving along on schedule. its weird that for the last week or so i havent felt the anxiety that has followed me through the rest of this pregnancy. i hope thats a good thing! :) i'll be 19 weeks tomorrow... that is so darn close to halfway there! its almost scary to think that i'm almost halfway done, and im not even ready!!
mom, dad and i went to babies-r-us this weekend (okay, we've gone every weekend, but still) and i almost broke down in tears. its all just SO overwhelming. i can remember a few years ago i would look at strollers and car seats and think "thats so cute! i would want that one!" and now... *sigh*... now im taking into consideration safety ratings and maneuverability and size and weight and compatibility with other brands and *ARGH* all of that. and it is just so overwhelming its not even funny.
and just when you think you have it all figured out you find out that the carseat you HAVE to have and the stroller you LOVE wont fit together. so im back at square one. and im not ready to compromise on either. so i need to stop and think this through. i need someone rational to walk through the store with me, and right now thats not the mom/dad/amy combo. i think we make each other crazy. i need another "newish" mom to go with me and tell me "this is what you need"
on tuesday after the scan im going to start my baby registry. im kind of excited about that, but then again... its so daunting! how am i supposed to know what im doing? LOL
all righty - well i need to get to bed. i had a late night last night and im paying dearly. when i wake up i'll be able to say "tomorrow, little one, you will get a name!" :)
yay!! :)

I am SOOO excited to find out if you are having a boy or a girl! It is so hard to believe that the halfway mark is just a week away for you. I can understand needing the other "mom" there.. My friends call on my sister to join them at Babies R Us to give them the scoop on the good, the bad and the not worth it! HAHAHA If we were closer.. You'd me heading to babies r us with us next weekend! LOL
Cant WAIT until tomorrow!!!!!!!!
Carseat can stay in the car, and you can pop the baby out and put him/her in the stroller. Strollers tend to be more padded than the carseat anyway, and I don't mind if the kid wakes up during transfer. Xander's almost 6 weeks, and we've never put the carseat in the stroller!
We got those two items new as gifts, but most everything else we scored at garage sales in fancy neighborhoods and craigslist. Babies grow so fast and people get so many shower gifts, you can get new/one-time-used stuff dirt cheap.
I can't wait either..I feel super excited for you!
