5 Months - Halfway there!

We have made it to the five month mark! As promised to Melissa - here is my five month picture. A lot has changed from the four month picture! I am pleased to say that I am 100% sure that I am now feeling kicks and somersaults from the little man in my belly. Nick cannot feel them yet, but I am very excited that I am now SURE of what I am feeling. It is an amazing sensation that I cannot get enough of. I wish I had a better way of describing it to Nick...but whenever it happens, I am so shocked that I really cannot put into words what I am feeling. All I can say is it is amazing, and I wish I could will him to flip and kick more often.

We are still debating on the name for our baby boy. After reading a few articles, I found out that it is not "proper" to name a child after the father and add "II" to it. When the child is named after the father he is supposed to be a junior, and not a second. The whole junior thing is something that Nick is completely against. (I cannot say I blame him, I mean Nick Junior? Not cool at all.) Who are we to be proper though? I am sure that it is going to take us until we see his handsome little face to decide on a name for sure. Oh the waiting!!

I did want to make sure that everyone knows that not only did we register at Babies R Us and Target, we also just added a registry with Amazon.com. Why did I do this? Well, all of our larger baby items are on Amazon.com and are almost always a good deal cheaper! I figured that everyone should know from now on if you are planning on making ANY kind of purchase - check Amazon.com first. I have found LOTS of items that well worth online shopping. Speaking of the registries, I think I have finalized all of the larger items. I was changing them a lot, but have since settled on colors / designs for everything. We also choose a different crib then originally added to the registry. I tried to drive myself nuts over the crib...but in the end decided that it isn't really what the crib looks like that is important. So now I am just counting down the days until Thanksgiving and then Christmas. It will be really wonderful to spend time with family and friends. Our next doctors appointment is on November 30th!
