Could they make it any harder to pick out baby stuff?

Woah. Dave suggested I start on a registry because I am admittedly bad at doing them. It took forever to do our wedding registry. I get so overloaded because there's so many things to pick from that I end up procrastinating and throwing something together at the last minute. I've only started one with Target thus far and it is so hard. I'm hoping it will at least be a little easier once we know the sex of the nugget, but there's still so many different options!

Here's a picture of what we have done to the baby's room so far...



We are going with dark wood (Espresso finish) to contrast all the light in the room. Here is the crib we picked out...(It's the Graco Lauren crib. Very common, but I really like it and I think it fits the room well.)



Other than that, we don't have much picked out. I have a couple different bedding sets in mind but picking one really depends on the sex. I don't know if I want to register for a whole set. I keep going back and forth because honestly, Do they even use the comforter? Most of the time I see them hung on a wall or something and I'm not the hang-a-quilt-on-a-wall kinda girl. In fact, I don't want to hang much of anything on the walls.

Oh, I'll add this picture of a mobile that I absolutely positively L*O*V*E. I really wanted a bedding set that had clouds and stuff, but I haven't been able to find a single one! Check out this cuteness!



Well, only 2 more days until we find out if we're having Lawson or Evelyn! So exciting! <3

Hello, my name is Juliet and I am a pregnant girl.

Hi! So I already have a super cute blog set up for Baby Lightner so the whole family can keep up with his/her growth and development... but I feel weird posting anything else on there (and I assume that once the little one is here, the blog will just be converted for him/her). That blog is www.babylightner.wordpress.com.

So, this blog is going to be for me. It's going to be all about me... ok and likely my family because if I only talk about me I think my Mom will be my only follower and most every post will be a rant filled with obscenities. No one cares much about that.

Some of the other fabulous pregnant ladies I've been fortunate enough to meet on a pregnancy forum that I'm a part of use this little questionnaire in their blogs every week, so I'll jump on that bandwagon. Mostly because I don't really have anything else to write about today :-)

Also, I feel the need to add this disclaimer... I'm very sarcastic and I say whatever I think. If you would like a super-sweet-blog-about-rainbows-and-butterfly-kisses, look elsewhere- I'm not for you. Truth be told, I'm not for a lot of people. And a lot of people aren't for me either. If you are choosing to stick around, I'm very glad to have you :)

How far along? 16 weeks 5 days (AKA, in my 17th week)
Weight gain/loss: Lost 6 lbs in 1st tri, gained 2 lbs since. So, still -4 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yep. Constantly since I got my Zofran pump. I can't have a hard waist band on the cath line.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep? Not sleeping well lately. Sciatic nerve is already giving me troubles and restless legs (I swear my friend Sarah cursed it on me the other day!)
Best moment this week? My husband did amazing at his race! Finished 14th and actually passed some people <3. I'm so proud of him!
Food cravings: Fresh fruit and veggies. I swear I wish I could just run ranch dressing into my veins.
Gender: We find out Friday!!!
Belly button in or out? In.
Movement? Yessir! Feels like a little fish bumping and flopping around. Mostly at night.
What I miss? Being able to sleep without a bra :-(
What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the baby's sex in 3 days!
Weekly wisdom: Do not argue with a fool. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Milestones: I'm out of 1st tri (Ok, well, that was a month ago, but whatever).
