Today I hit the 31 weeks pregnant mark. ("Congratulations, Celia!") With only 9 weeks until D-day it is dawning on me how soon this experience is going to be over, and motherhood will begin. According to the books I've read and my Prepared Childbirth Class, its normal to be totally freaked out about the delivery and caring for a new baby. As it turns out, neither one is making my knees shake. The most disquieting question on my mind is: "what the devil am I supposed to have when I bring home this little wiggle worm?" I've read stranger's opinions online, talked to women with kids and no one agrees on anything except a car seat. Like that isn't obvious! I doubt the hospital would let me take the baby home in a wheel-barrow.
In prepping for our new arrival Jeff and I hit up Target yesterday to do some baby gift registering. After aimlessly wandering the baby section forever, we started randomly scanning things that might be useful. Who knows, maybe I will actually use 4 pairs of baby mittens!
Here is a sampling of things we registered for:
My sister is actually lending us her swing, but I couldn't help but tack this on to our registry. The pattern is to die for.
My sister says she loved it for her babies. I love how it feels on my lips. I figure it would feel just as nice on my baby's bottom!
I will be honest here: half the stuff in this kit is alien to me. The other half seemed important enough that we registered for the whole shebang. 
I wish texture could be felt over a computer monitor. This baby blanket is stylish and oh-so-cuddly.
This little book is too adorable. Its gummy for teething, and you can slip pictures into the pages. Love It.
