Registered We finally did it. Or should I say Johan finally agreed to it. We went and registered today. We are now registered at Babies R Us and at Target. Both are available online. It took a long time, and was kinda stressful. Johan did alright, didn't get too bored. If you know Johan at all he absolutely hates shopping. Especially when we're not buying anything. He shops by knowing exactly what he wants, where to get it, and doesn't deviate from the plan. But he did pretty good today. I gave him the gun and let him scan everything. He was having fun with it. I'll write more tomorrow. I'm tired and it's late. good night.

Sunday July 30th There's not much new. Just wanted to say that I finally posted the photos of the furniture. And some new ones of my belly. ..... I've had a few offers of a baby shower. In thinking it over and trying to figure out the plans and the logistics of if I think I'll have two of them. One with the group from work and and one with the group from church. But this is all still in the early planning stages. I definitely want to have one because I never got to have a bridal shower. We still haven't registered yet, but we will. Hopefully this weekend.

Belly Waves Today is July 25th. That means that it is exactly 3 months until my due date. Time seems to be going so fast. It's almost August. I was laying on the couch tonight looking at my stomach and little Joshua started moving all around in there. I could actually see him moving. It was like waves going across my stomach. It was like my belly was dancing. It was the strangest thing to watch. I can't even describe what it is like to know and love a baby inside your stomach. Men got the raw deal in life not to be able to experience pregnancy.

People and their opinions I try not to let other people's opinions bother me, but sometimes they get annoying. Like the lady at the sushi restaurant in L.A. I have no intention of eating any raw fish (or anything) that might harm my baby. But don't people understand that there are plenty of all vegetable rolls or fully cooked rolls that are perfectly safe to eat. I really would like to go to the sushi restaurant with my friends but now I'm worried about the stares and comments I might get from others. The gang from work is going to Sushi-Mon this Wednesday, and also Johan and I are planning on going with a couple from church. I should just go and not worry about what other people who don't know me think that I might be eating. Because I know what I'm eating or not eating. ........ Also I wish people would stop telling me to be careful about lifting things. I have talked to my doctor at almost every appointment about lifting heavy things at work. And he has said every time that it was fine as long as I don't feel any pain. Also I have asked the nurse who calls me from the Healthy Pregnancy Program about it and she said the same thing that my doctor did. And I have told my doctor that I lift weights when I work out and he said it is good for me. So it is really getting annoying to hear people tell my not to lift heavy things. I wish they'd just leave that opinion to themselves. The only person I plan on taking medical advise from is my doctor.
