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!!!
