Half Baked

I am 20 weeks pregnant today and as MrKLB likes to say, our baby boy is now "half baked". :)

I can't believe that I'm already half way there! I think the first 20 weeks have gone by pretty quickly... though I guess the first few really shouldn't count. It will be interesting to see how quickly the second half of this pregnancy goes. I'm starting to get bigger now and I am sure that I will be amazed at how big my belly actually gets! Here is a picture of my baby bump from a few days ago:



As a reference point, here is what I looked like at only 5 weeks and 3 days:



Anyway, I'll try to post more pictures later as the belly continues to grow.

So, MrKLB and I both had yesterday off work for President's Day, so we had a wonderful 3-day weekend! We saw Dracula at the ballet on Friday night, went to eat with my family on Saturday to celebrate my mother's birthday, did lots of shopping for baby stuff, and even went running with the dogs TWICE! Yay!

So, on the shopping front, I think we've decided on our nursery furniture. We haven't ordered it yet and may still change our minds, but right now we have a favorite. I'll post pictures later when we order it. We've also decided on a stroller. We're going to get the BOB Revolution. It gets great reviews, can be used with an infant seat, and is good for both jogging AND for trips to the mall, etc. So, with any luck, we'll be able to pull off having just this one stroller and then getting an umbrella stroller for when he gets bigger.

We also started our registry at Babies R Us on Sunday. It was quite overwhelming! I've read the Baby Bargains book so I felt somewhat prepared, but when we got there there were just so many different things to pick out that I couldn't remember all of the recommendations. So, we added some items and will go back to add more later when I have my list compiled. It was fun to get started, though!

Oh, last Thursday at work I got recognized for being with the company for 5 years and I got a Flip MinoHD! I wasn't really familiar with these but it's a cool little camcorder that let's you take HD video and easily connects to your computer so that you can edit and share those videos. So, hopefully it will be useful for when the baby comes and I can post little video clips on my blog!

Okay, I think that's all of an update I have for now. Back to work...
