Chris borrowed Paul's car and took us to pick up the crib. I think she's going to have fun with the baby. We could have spent a long time looking at everything, but Alan went to get the crib and it was sitting in the open truck, so we didn't have time. She's going to go with me to pick out the layette at Carter's Outlet. We're assuming the doctor's going to order another ultrasound because she wanted to see the 3 veins in the cord. At that point, we should be able to see the sex.

Left work early and went to Attleboro's Babies-r-us. Figured it would be less crowded. Wow, it was great. I slowly went up and down the aisles and looked at everything. Very nice and relaxing. Then went to Panera Bread for lunch. Nice day.

Went to the doctors. She said not to expect to feel movement for another month. The placenta is anterior (in the front) so it's acting like a pillow and absorbing the movement. That explains a lot!

Couldn't wait any longer and had to register. Since we may not find out what sex the baby is, we can't wait for that, and everything seems normal and healthy. Babies-r-us is a zoo. Lots of pregnant women, in large groups, crowding the aisles and being pushy. Got some things on that we wouldn't have been able to get online. Picked out the crib, which is a biggie.

Had the second ultrasound - pics to come. Couldn't tell the sex, but they tried hard enough. Baby just wouldn't cooperate and kept moving around it took them a while to get the shots they needed. Active thing. Surprised I can't feel any of it.

I think I felt the baby move today. Still felt like a gas bubble, but it was in a plausable spot and it's the time when I should start feeling something.

Started sleeping with a pillow between my legs and it really seems to be helping with the aches and tossing at night.
