Today we were able to see Bailee in 3D. It was really cool. We were able to see everything! The doctor was having a hard time with her though because she kept putting her hand in her face and she wouldn't stay still long enough for him to get a great picture. As Blake said she was being stubborn like her mom. If you ask me, she was being stubborn like her dad :). The doctor was surprised at how active she is. I could have told him that based on the fact that she is moving ALL the time no matter what time of day it is. Anyway, she looks great and we hope you like the pictures below. We will try and download the video of the entire ultrasound this weekend. Then you will be able to see how much she moves and also see her heart beating.
The first picture below is her covering her face with her hand and her foot coming above her head on the right. The second picture is just of her face. And the last picture is her making a "mad" face as Blake says.

Deer in Headlights
Well the time finally came where we had to go register. And lets just say, that was an experience in itself! Our first stop was Babie's R Us. I had shopped in there before for other people, but it was usually just in the clothes section. When you register, they hand you a book of all the things you should register for. That was a little nerve wreaking because some of the things that they listed we had no idea what they were. But, we were ready and headed out to start our adventure. The first place they take you to is infant care. Blake and I think this is the WORST thing they could have done because it is where all the bottles, nipples, pacifiers and breast pump items are. Did you know how many types of bottles, nipples, pacifiers and breast pumps are out there? My goodness! This was our first deer in headlight experience. We had no idea which one to choose. So, what did Blake do? He scanned every bottle, every nipple, every pacifier and every breast pump item. It was pretty funny. Our next section was the strollers. Here is where we knew we looked lost because there was a couple with their child that came up to us and said "first time?" How did you know. "The look on both of your faces says it all." Guess we weren't hiding it very well. After that Blake and I had a laugh together because they were right. 45 minutes later of going through the entire store we finally had a handle on things, or so we thought. Then Blake looked at the scanner and it had a sticker that said "goal, 120 items." We had 50. So, our adventure began again at the infant section and all the way around the store until we had over 120 items. Blake was scanning EVERYTHING he saw. By the time we were done and turning in our scanner, we had been in the store for almost 2 1/2 hours. It was the longest 2 1/2 hours of our life! But, we weren't finished yet. We had to go to Target next door and register there as well. We were dreading it!!! If it was going to be as long and as hard to register at Target as it was Babies R US, we were going to scream. To our surprise, it was way better at Target. As Blake says, its his new favorite store because the baby aisle is only 4 aisles. We were in heaven. We probably spent 20 minutes maximum in there. After registering, we both felt a little nervous because of all the little things we didn't know about.
The next day I came in to work and sat down with my boss who just had her 3rd baby in September. I told our story and then showed her our registry. She chuckled because she knows Blake and I both very well. Lets just say, a lot of the things we registered for were not good or didn't pass a consumer test. For the next hour and a half she went over with me what was good, what was bad, and what her recommendations were. I wish we had her with us when we were doing out registry! That night, I was online changing things on our registry. Another 2 hours was spent changing things online. But, I can finally say now, WE ARE DONE with both registry's! It has been an experience both Blake and I will not forget!
The latest picture of my tummy is below. I am now 25 weeks. We go to the doctor next week for a 3-D ultrasound and then 2 weeks after that for another appointment.
We hope all is well with everyone!
