This week I have just had CRAZY heartburn. No matter what I eat, or how long I wait to lay down after eating, or how many pillows I use to prop myself up at night, I get really bad sour stomach and heartburn. It's getting really annoying and painful! I am thinking about asking my doctor for heartburn medication. RELIEF Please oh please!

We have also bought some new items from craigs list ...

Bouncer (10 dollars!)

Matching Swing (50 dollars)

Shopping Cart Cover (15 dollars)

I'm pretty proud of these finds, especially since that is seriously the EXACT swing I wanted - and I got the bouncer to match, even though both were from different sellers on different days! WoOo!

I have also started my 'real' registry. Although I don't use registries and I think they are a waste of time, I guess it's the thing to do when you're having a shower. So I made one. It was fun looking through all of the stuff at Target.com, BUT I have realized even though we have a TON of things already, we have so much more to buy! Cloth diapers & accessories, bath accessories, crib mattress, changing table pad, bottles & accessories, I want a cute and comfy glider/ottoman chair, crib sheets & accessories, etc. etc. etc. WOW the list goes on forever! Does it ever end? Geez!

The baby shower date has been officially set - Sunday, August 15th. It'll be fun. Hopefully a pool party afterwards. Yay!

What our little girl has been up to:

She is about 11 inches long and almost one pound! She's like a miniature newborn - lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct. Her eyes have formed, but the irises still lack pigment. Little tiny hair is covering her body, along with tiny deep wrinkles - which she'll have until she gains a little more fat to fill them in.
