Week 23 - Registered and Registered!

Well it's been a busy week!  Monday we went over and got officially registered for Baby Morse's daycare.  The verdict?  Generation Next!  We are thrilled!!  We really got a sense that this was the right fit for us, between the staff and the activities, and the facility itself.  That and it comes highly recommended from my co-worker Melinda!  :)  Here is a small sampling of some of the things our daffodil will get to do as she gets older.  We are just thrilled to be sending her somewhere they provide creative and structured days!

Dr. Suess Birthday Party (The children watch the Movie Green Eggs and Ham, listen to Dr. Seuss stories throughout the day and eat green eggs and ham, green beans and green applesauce!),
Book Fair, Egg Hunt, Water Play, Donuts with Dads morning, Movie/Pajama day and making popcorn balls, Field Trip to Apex Athletics Center, Recycled Art, Bowling, and Guest from the Racoon River Nature Lodge!  Hey, sign ME up!

The other registration we got done this week was our baby registries at Target and Babies R Us!  Eric and I took a list of guidelines from Nikki and made a pretty good dent.  He was so proud we got over 60 items on our list only to find when we returned the scanner, we were the only people in their log who had done under 100 items.  So we may have a bit more ground to cover... but it's nice to have that one checked off!

We are also working on discussing our Birth Plan, which has sparked many interesting conversations!  I had another check-up today, where we heard that heart beating strong as ever and definitely could detect lots of movement!  And of course the list of to-do's rolls on... one funny thing we did today was get some wrist guards for my pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel.  You know it's bad when you're willing to wear THESE to bed at night!  I am just the object of attraction these days, let me tell you!!

After these 5 months of pain and numb hands, I'll do anything!  Today when I woke up it felt like my right wrist was broken!

We are really enjoying all the preparation, and learning lots in our classes  - stay tuned, I think I'm finally going to get Eric to put on the empathy belly before those classes end in a couple weeks!  :)
