we've made it past the half-way point in the pregnancy and i am happy to report that everything is still going well for baby, mom and dad. although there isn't a ton to report, i will say that people have started noticing at work -- most notably my patients' families! i will walk into a room to introduce myself and the first question i get is "when are you due?" or "how far along are you?!" guess there isn't any more hiding it! fortunately, once i answer these questions i am met with responses like, "you are so tiny to be 5 months!" and lots of "congratulations!!!" :)
although we haven't yet started on the nursery (aside from there being a room set aside for this purpose), we did finally make some time to register for our little king. we spent an entire morning at babies 'r us trying to figure out the maze of strollers, bedding, bottles and burp cloths attempting to get the things we need and, at the same time, pick out things that we will be able to use for future kiddos, too! needless to say it became a little overwhelming for these first-timers, but i think we got most of the necessities on the registry...i guess we'll see! the only other baby news this week? i finally had to remove my belly ring to keep it from getting caught on the desks at work. i guess i'm officially not a kid or a rebellious youth anymore! i've also transitioned to wearing maternity clothes *almost* exclusively -- my regular sweat pants and large t-shirts still fit me for now!
the other question we keep getting is if we have chosen a name. the answer? not yet! we've talked about it quite a bit, but haven't come up with one that we are committed to at this point. suggestions, anyone?
according to baby growth charts he is roughly the size of a banana: 10.5 inches and 12.7 oz!
