GROWING PAYNES

Well, it is about time for another post and I have been putting it off because Josh left the country and took our only camera.  I wanted to upload a picture of my growing belly for all to see but I guess that will have to wait.  So instead, I will post about what has been consuming my life for about the last two weeks!!!!!  Baby Registries!!!!!

It all started 2 Sundays ago when Josh and I got bold and headed into Babies R US after church.  We thought this would be filled with the same fun and excitement as our wedding registry experience.  And there was a lot of excitement…but it quickly fizzled as we rounded out first corner and walked down the breast feeding aisle.  There we stood… frozen, eyes wide open staring at things we never knew existed…like nipple guards!!!!! Ouch…that sounds painful.  It was then we knew we had no clue what we were doing.  And it went progressively down hill from there.  We spent the next two hours sifting our way through the multitude of baby products having no clue what we will really need and what is just fluff.  After two hours and only getting half way through the store we decided to turn the laser gun in.  But not before Josh scanned a Wii Game Console (I’m sure that is very crucial to Easton’s first year of life).  Needless to say, I went home and erased the entire registry. 

So a few days later Josh left the country for two weeks and I decided to get some help from someone with experience…a real life mom.  So my friend Rachel and I went and she gave me her advice.  We got through the entire store in just about an hour and a half.  I was so excited!!!  I went home to look up the registry and the bozo at the store must not have downloaded it correctly because there were no pictures and no prices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So once again I deleted the entire registry and entered each item online (am I in a Seinfeld episode???).  So now it is pretty much complete but I am constantly adding and taking away items.  This is not like picking out pretty dishes for your kitchen…which I had SO much fun doing.  This is serious business…a little human life depends on it   Now I am going to try to tackle Target or Walmart by myself and hopefully all will go smooth!

Other than that life is going great!  Easton is kicking a little more these days and he is definitely letting me know he is in control right now.  TUMS have found a permanent place in my purse and I pop them several times a day.  I’m loving the tropical fruit flavor!!!!  As far as the nursery goes…the bumper has been sent off to my upholsterer, Pablo, and hopefully I will get it back next week sometime.  Yes, I know I don’t need it until next year…but when it comes to decorating sometimes I’m just a little irrational..and that’s ok   The crib is also ordered and hopefully will be ready for pick up as soon as Josh gets back!!!!  He is scheduled for nursery duties every weekend through Thanksgiving…sorry golfing buddies
