So basically the world of the baby registry is SO different than the world of wedding registry. for one...registering  for your wedding is easy 'cause like...you know how to....live and stuff. Like, you know about cookware and your preferences related to it and gadgets and towels and all that are easy to pick out because you've showered a million times and know what kinds of towels you like best. Right?

Trying to create a baby registry before you've ever had a baby is like wandering through a maze at night time with a blind fold on trying to find your way around without getting yelled at about which way is the better way to turn. Not kidding. Luckily we have good friends and family who recommend items and brands to us--but ultimately it comes down to straight up personal preference. Anyways, we started the little nugget's registry FINALLY and we're open to suggestions about other things you feel like you literally love having around...but please no emails about why we think it's okay to use cloth diapers or why we picked crib sheets with multiple colors on them or why we want a co-sleeper or why we're even having a baby in the first place, k?

I'm also super joking. We had fun picking this stuff out. Preparing to have a baby for the first time ever is SUPER humbling..because...we have no idea how to be parents yet. No idea. But jeeeeeez this baby is loved so that's what counts, right?

A sweet friend texted me and said something like, "You'll get to teach her to be a woman after God's own heart!" And I basically cried instantly because it's so easy to get caught up in freaking out about the best way to parent...but we aren't going to miss the point. THAT is the point. To shower her with God's love and teach her what it means to be a part of/to expand the Kingdom. The Kingdom!!! So cool.

We LOVE you, little jellybean!

So this one time (yesterday) I was on call for the day since our office was closed. Then, I ended up being out (for work) until MIDNIGHT. And seeing as how I stayed in the office working until like 8ish on Friday, I feel like I haven't been resting enough. And I'm like the queen of going to sleep early so basically I am now a zombie. But all is well and I can't even explain how thankful I am to be sitting in bed with Chris as he studies and me zoning off into neverland and rambling about who knows what.

SO--in honor of my lack of a brain to write a meaningful post, I'll post this video of our ultrasound (which I haven't watched yet so if we say weird things just pretend we're normal. Or if we don't say weird things or much at all it's because we're mesmerized by the awesomeness of watching her grow.) And honestly...Chris says the best part is at the end when she starts kicking around..so just fast forward if you're bored. I can't even tell you where to fast forward too since I don't know. She was playing with the umbilical cord the whole time so she wasn't super active with her hand movements, but that's okay because we thought that was funny. Like she's bored in there or something. Silly girl. I keep wanting to type her name! Too bad.
