I know I wasn't supposed to...

but I've been checking our baby registries online. Max is taking a nap, and my heartburn prevented me from laying down too much longer with him. (I had already been sleeping for 2 hours!) I came downstairs, started some laundry, contemplated working on the study, and decided to waste some time online. Naturally, I founod myself at our registries. (Our showers are 2 & 3 weeks away).

People have already bought us stuff!!! For some reason, this made me choke up more than looking at wedding registries did. I'm completely overwhelmed at the AMOUNT of stuff that we need for this little boy to come home, and even more frightened at the expense of it all. And that our friends & family, all of whom bought us wedding gifts in abundance last summer, are already purchasing these things to help us welcome our little guy home. (He must have known I was thinking about him, 'cause he started "dancing" when I was looking at the registries!)

I can't wait to decorate & set up his room... I'm "making" us finish the rest of the house first, though, before I get to play nursery. Unfortunately, that doesn't increase my energy level enough to do anything with the boxes of books and other things that need gone through. I've been temping the last 2 days, which has been good for our finances, but tough on my energy. I'm feeling good until I get through rush hour (really, rush 15 minutes) and come home. Then, the tiredness hits & our sofa calls out to me.

... That's all for now. Time to get something done today!
