I was convinced to let Michelle take a few pictures of me yesterday.

So here is the 34 and a half week mark (in the 35th week). We have a little over a month to go.

Today we're rounding out our baby registry at Babies R Us, as well as preppi

ng for Christmas, which basically means that we are having the worlds' tiniest Christmas (just the two of us) and having a very very small gift exchange. Still, I'm excited to be spending my first Christmas here at home with Michael.

The baby's crib

Today Michael set up the baby crib. As per Rhonda's request, Michael took a picture of it so you can see how awesome it looks.

So far it's the only thing we have set up, and it's a small crib, so standard bedding won't fit (portacrib bedding will), but it is solid wood and sturdy (thank you Betty, Larry, and Mike!!!). It was far and away our favorite crib that we saw in all of the stores. And because of it's size, we didn't have to move the queen sized guest bed, so we can still have guests come and stay over for the first few weeks the baby is here. Don't worry, we won't leave the baby in the crib with you in the middle of the night. Unless you deserve it.

Scan Gun!!!

Just thought I'd share the pic from registering at Babies R Us! That's all for now.

Smaller Zallers need showers too.

So, from what I understand, the official shower for the Smaller Zaller will be on December 30th at Michelle's at 2pm. Just a heads up. I thought it would be good to wait until after Christmas so that we could take advantage of sales and not stress people out about money.

We are registered at Babies R Us (you can go instore or online) for things we NEED like bottles, shampoo, bibs, rocking chair, etc. Online, you just type in the last name "Zaller" and then the city "Savannah" and GA as the state. We are also not opposed to getting diapers (but we will have enough of the "newborn" size). And... NOT using cloth diapers, for those curious. I decided knowing myself I won't do it.

We are also registered at a local store called "Punch and Judy" for bigger items like a stroller, changing table, and baby bedding (our crib is the size of a portacrib, so it requires special sized bedding), and you can probably call in and give a gift card or something if you can't make it into the store. I'm just assuming. I haven't asked.

So we're starting the 34th week now. That means (according to my app on my phone) that if it's a boy it's testicles are dropping. lol. I assume if it's a girl it will not be dropping any testes. Any guesses yet as to what the gender is? I'm not sure what the official count is right now. And (also according to the phone app), we have 49 days til the due date. Will our baby be told when it's gonna get here? We will see...

Christmas is coming up! Anything you guys want?

On the update front: Had a checkup last Wednesday, and the baby is turned head down, so that's good news. That being said, I was pretty sure it was already there for a while. Heartbeat is good, it kicks a lot. I'm still having rib pain on the right side, but I've only got 6 weeks left, so I'm just going to tough it out.

Happy holidays?

I'm sure this was supposed to look sexy. It just looks ironic on me right now. Maybe it would help if I fixed my hair or did my makeup. Oh, well. 32 weeks pregnant.

Also, adding a video from a couple of days ago. The kid is CRAZY moving around. Seriously. Oh, and we're watching one of our tv shows, "The Good Guys", which is why Michael is so entranced. It also might be because he's eating cheese, crackers, and sausage. :)
