We registered yesterday. For baby stuff.
(I was just trying to think what happened yesterday morning.. I can't seem to remember. I know we went to Aldo's parents' house and made macaroni and cheese, and then after that went real quick to their library to print off some stuff, but I can't think what happened before that. And it makes me sooo mad because I know we had to wake up early to do it. !!! ... Aldo calls it "pregnancy brain". Must be. I have no other excuse.)
So anyway, we registered at Walmart afterward. I put together a list of the main things we would need, things I took from mommy websites and friends. We zoomed through that baby stuff... and Aldo was really into it. I saw a cute blanket. It was so soft, I wanted it bad. So I put on a pouty face and registered for it. Then Aldo said something like, "Oh, it's ok honey. Get as many blankets as you want. I want our kid to have a lot of them." I was seriously blown away. I just know I'm going to use them more than our baby is. :)
I'll have more for you soon,

27 Weeks, 3 Days
I went to a countdown website today because I forgot how far along I was.. woops. Found out some interesting info. I am 67% through my pregnancy and only have 33% left to go. Cool. I don't think I could last any longer than that. What is it??.. elephants carry their babies for like 2 years...
As for what I've been doing lately...
Financial class - We went this past Sunday and as homework had to make our first full out budget. We had like 3 "family meetings" but they didn't last long and we didn't fight at all. Interesting enough though, he had plans for some money that I didn't have plans for.
Family - This past weekend I didn't have to work at all so Friday I helped my mom and granddad out with their pinochle group. I made my first thing of twice-baked potatoes. Must say I'm better at the mashed. Then that night, surprise surprise... it snowed. In springtime! And so Aldo and I stayed at my mom's and then on Saturday, Aldo had to work all day, so I hung out with my mom and sister again. We played cards from 11 to 3 and then watched youtube videos until 6. That's when my mom decided to take me home. :) I still can't believe we didn't do anything.. because living at my mom's house I have never ever ever had a lazy day.
That's about all. Except today I finally cleaned out my car! I'm sure we could've survived this winter out of anything and everything in that thing. And I'm sure the reason my shocks and springs both went out at the same time was because the trunk was jam packed full of junk.
BABY NEWS... I think we have a name. We decided we won't tell anybody and we won't fully pick out the name until the day he's born.. so I can't tell you. Also, he is moving! And playing with me I think. On the way to work today, he stretched out and pushed against my stomach area. But he didn't pull away real quick like he usually does, he just left it stretched out. So I put my hand on it. And then he pulled away. As I was telling Aldo what had just happened, he popped me real quick in the same place where my hand was. That little stinker. It's going to be so strange having a baby. I'm just now getting used to the fact that there's someone else in my body.

25 Weeks, 4 Days
It's been a while since I've put anything on here. I honestly don't remember what I've been doing the last couple weeks. All well. So last Sunday we started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace class through our church. I don't think Aldo was really into going to this class at first (something about his machismo, ego, whatever you call it), but now he's like "I never want to miss a class". I'll probably have more stories about that later.
Nothing much as been happening with the baby. He isn't moving as often or as hard as he was before. Not sure why, but Aldo says not to worry about it. I'm a mother! What am I supposed to do? Anyway, now that the reading challenge is over, I've been reading baby books like crazy. We're getting dates down for baby showers (excited about that). And soon we'll have to register somewhere. Eh. I hated registering for wedding stuff. We'd spend like an hour in the store and go back and forth over what kind or how many we wanted of the whatever. And whether it was useful or not. I have a blender that I still haven't used. And for some reason he wanted a clock. Oh dear. A clock? Are you serious? So we're registering for baby stuff now. Luckily I have it down to a list of necessity; now I can win any argument. HAHAHAA!
