Kenny & I went to Babies 'R Us yesterday and registered for Brianna .. they were really helpful and gave us some suggestions on what she will need .. I had no idea there was so much stuff!

So below is the link to our registry that is viewable online, or you can go to any Babies 'R Us and put in 'Christina McDonald' or 'Kenneth Collotta' and get our registry that way.

25 weeks pregnant today .. and definitely seeing some changes! Brianna is kicking up a storm, and I can now tell when I feel her hands moving around, which feels more like a tickle sensation.. she must be feeling her surroundings and playing with my insides. I put up a couple of new belly pics - it's definitely getting bigger which is cool... good to know she's growing in there; people tell me I am still so small!

I got my I.V. put in on Friday and it hurts a lot... I have to do it every 8 hours so my schedule is 7am, 3pm and 11pm.. the 7am dose really stinks because I only fall asleep around 4am every night, then wake up at 6 to pee and then have to do my I.V. at 7 which takes an hour... so I wake up for good around 12 or 1pm.

I packed an over-night bag for the hospital the other night in case anything happens, since I am getting closer and closer to my due date. I keep hearing stories from people about women they know that went into labor around my time and I wouldn't want to be fussing around in a panic trying to pack a bag. Hopefully I won't need to use it anytime soon!

Looks like I'll be going on I.V. antibiotics on Friday - I'll be going up to LIJ to have a PICC line put in because I am getting sick and don't want things going out of control. There aren't any oral medicines that are "safe" for me to take while pregnant, and I can tell I need something fast because my cough is getting nasty and I just don't feel good at all.

Hopefully this will get me better and I will be strong and healthy when this little girl decides to come into the world.

We ordered the crib for Brianna! I absolutely LOVE it and it should be here by Friday... it's getting so exciting setting things up for her! I can't believe she is going to be here so soon!

I put a picture of the crib in the photo album section, its a 3 in 1 so it becomes a toddler bed and then a full size bed when she's older.
