So many of you have asked where we are registered and I think I have completed Baby Dav's wish list! With the help of many, including Anthony's sister Anita, I narrowed down our list to a few different places since I found things all over the place that both Anthony and I liked. It was really difficult since we really needed to pay attention to our lack of space issue and only registered for things that we thought we would use frequently...the other part of this that made things difficult is that this is our first child and who knows what we will use and not use! Anyways, here is the list:
Babies 'R Us
Target
Babycenter.com
Land of Nod
retrobaby.com
And another request has been to post some belly pics! I swear I will have Anthony take some shots of my growing belly in the next day or so. We just really have been so busy and I usually don't get home from work until around 9:45 or so and just want to crawl into bed at that point. But I have the camera out and ready!!! So check back, maybe even tomorrow, for some pictures!

Over half way!!!
It seems hard to believe, but as of today I am officially 21 weeks and more than half way through the pregnancy!! I am sure the second half will go twice as fast as the first half....
We go in for the anatomy scan next Monday where they will measure every bit of him and make sure all of his organs are developed and working properly. We are really excited to see his growth as it has been a while since we have seen him in a sonogram. He has been very active lately too!!!
Not much else going on here...just trying to get through the hottest part of the summer without melting!! I may have only gained 3 pounds during this pregnancy thus far, but it feels like 20!!! And it is getting harder and harder to stay cool in the humidity...thank goodness it hasn't been too bad as of yet. I am hoping the hottest and worst will happen when I am in Seattle in a couple of weeks!! I am heading out for 2 weeks for some good family/friend time before the baby comes and my baby shower. My Aunt PJ and cousin Ramah will be hosting one big shower for me and I am so excited!!! Daniela is even coming up from San Jose for the weekend sans kids!! She is expecting her 3rd little boy in October and I am so thankful she is able to get away for a few days of rest and relaxation....and I feel so special that she has chosen to spend that time with ME!!!
Here is a link to some of our most recent photos....those that were not lost on our latest hard drive melt down!!

Water and sunscreen!
Wow...the weather is changing out here this week. It is in the 90's again today and looks only to get more and more humid as the weekend approaches. I think we are heading to the beach out on Long Island on Saturday with Sergei and Amanda to escape the city heat...ahhhh!!!
I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! We actually had a BBQ with about 30 people...I was exhausted by the end of the weekend to say the least! Saturday Anthony and I went to the Boston v. Yankees game and then I worked on Sunday.
Last weekend we enjoyed a nice long weekend with Anthony's parents. They came up from Florida and it was Cecelia's birthday on Monday the 14th. We took in two plays....Thurgood and Country Girl. Both I highly recommend!!
Little Baby Dav is making himself known on a daily basis lately! He is very active and likes to do some serious tumbling in my belly!! I haven't had any serious food cravings as of yet...but there was a 2 week period where I wanted nothing but Belgian waffles! Hmmmm...that sounds good right now!!! I still can't give up my morning cup of Joe so I have settled for decaf which has been great. It is such a ritual for me to drink my morning coffee and so nice that I am able to enjoy it again since the 1st trimester didn't allow me to eat or drink much of anything!!
I am in the process of registering and boy is that a process!! (Ew...big kick by the baby...hold on!) Ok, it is so overwhelming and with limited space in our apartment we have to really narrow down our choices to what is going to be vitally necessary and go from there. And with this being our first we don't even know that! I mean, there are the basics that I know from having 3 younger brothers and a 6 year old niece, but please, there is a gadget for just about every situation out there! And it is like technology...changing by the minute!!
So if there is one thing you couldn't live without as a parent, what is/was it??? And what is your favorite baby store???
I have my 4 week Dr. appointment tomorrow....just the standard weigh, measure, listen, pee appointment. I will keep you all posted.
It is hard for me to believe that as of Sunday I am officially half way through this pregnancy!! And I am really starting to enjoy the feeling of being pregnant even though I feel like my mind is in a constant hazy cloud, I enjoy my moments of clarity even more now!!!

latest ultrasound of Baby Dav!
Here are the newest photos we had taken of Baby Dav! We had an ultrasound on June 20th where we found out the sex!! HE was nice enough to give us a high 5 during the ultrasound!! HE cooperated nicely, but was very active in there! I haven't felt any of his acrobats as of yet, but I am sure I will soon!!
We are in week 17 now, which I can't believe, and will be taking photos of my belly for all to see very soon! The little guy has started to make his whereabouts known to all as of this week!
