It is all getting started....

It has been a fun and busy week for Matt and I.  We registered this past weekend at Target and Babies R Us.  It is crazy to go through the isles and think of ALL the stuff that you are going to need.  With that, Matt and I have also decided that we are slowly going to start buying one big thing a month.  Tonight we ordered our travel system, Chicco Cortina in fuego coloring.  We looked all over for a good deal and realized that Chicco hardly ever goes on sale, but yeah for walmart.com....$40 cheaper than Target or Babies R us!!!!

I also had a doctors appointment on Thursday.  All continues to go well and I continue to have any "little" problem that you can have.  I found out that I am Rh negative, so I get to have some shots woohoo, but I guess after the past 2 years, a few shots won't kill me!

My appointment was also an interesting ordeal.  I got there and they didn't have my file or have me listed on the appointment schedule.  They said they could still get me in, not a problem.  So the nurse came out and called for Melissa.  As I was walking back she asked me if I had everything ready.  I thought to myself "what the hell, I'm only 15.5 weeks!!" so I answered...not quite and we moved on.  I was then shown to the room.  The Dr. came in and while looking at the chart asked "so, have you started having contractions?"  "um, no" and he looked at me with a bit of shock..."whoo, you're not 36 weeks?"  "nope, I'm only 15"  and he left the room.  "are you Kayla?"  "Nope, Melissa, 15 weeks Melissa."  "ok....just a minute, we have a new nurse and I think there has been a mix up"  Then he came back with MY file and it was much better.  He talked about the Rh and that I really don't need to worry at this point due to the shots and the fact that this is our first baby.  He measured me and I got to listen to the heartbeat again.  All is well and maybe next time I will double check the Melissa's!!!

This coming weekend we will be painting the nursery and getting started on bedding/curtains.  Not sure what I was thinking doing all of it myself, but with the help from mom, Jackie and Lisa, I think it will be dang cute!!!!

I am officially 16 weeks and the baby is the size of an avocado!!  Pictures coming soon!!!
