As each week of this pregnancy keeps passing by, the reality that we are actually going to be parents is setting in deeper and deeper! Its exciting, scary, nerve racking, humbling, joyous and so many other emotions wrapped up into one! I couldn't ask for a better husband, father and companion to be experiencing this life change with… (love you hunny!) This time in my life has also made me realize how important family is, and how extremely lucky and blessed I am to have the family (both Brad and I's sides of the family) and friends that I have… . Everyone has been more comforting, supportive and loving than I could've ever imagined! I have so many people praying for us and the growing munchkin, people asking if there is ANYTHING they can do for us, and just people doing thoughful things I could never ask for anyone to do! To give you an example, my amazing Aunt Debbi sent us a wonderful package of stuff for the baby… including clothes, a blanket and toy. They are so adorable (see the picture I posted). The wonderful gesture made my day and put a smile on my face! God has seriously blessed me and my growing family sooo much!!!
On a different note, i was starting to read about when you should start putting together your baby registry, and from what I have heard… anytime now I could get started on the registry (and maybe wait to finish until we know what the sex of the baby is!) What I was looking for is any mommas out there that could give us some advice on the kinds of things you recommend to put on the registry. What you DID register for that you are glad you have, what you DIDN'T register for that you wish you would have, and maybe even things you registered for that you never use or don't find helpful. Its so overwhelming that I am trying to figure out where to even start!!! HELP! One thing in particular that I was wondering about is about baby monitors. I am seeing everywhere these new live video monitors. I was curious if anyone has one of these and if it is even worth the money (they don't seem to be real cheap) or if traditional monitors work just as well!
Well, that's all I got for now… but I will keep you all posted as Munchkin kirsch keeps growing!

PS. I'm sure some of you are wondering when you will get to see the baby bump pics… but I am kinda waiting until it actually looks like a baby bump and not just that I have had a few too many pieces of bowls of icecream! hehe
