Registry...
Registering for baby stuff is not quite as fun as wedding stuff...you actually have to think! Wedding stuff is just about what's pretty and what you "want" whereas baby registry's are about what you "need." Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that plenty of kids/parents have survived without a Baby Bjorn or a Pack-N-Play, but still...they are helpful. That being said, I think we have finally finished registering. I'm always looking it trying to decide if I've forgotten something or didn't register for enough of one thing or another...if you want to see it go to www.babiesrus.com and then the one at JC Penny's too! I'm sure I'll change things here and there, but for the most part I think it's done!

Poor Baby
blah blah blah
I feel so blah today...I don't know what's wrong with me...just blah. It's not a good feeling, not a bad feeling, just, well....blah. It's one of those days that you would give anything just to lay in bed and watch tv all day...forget being productive!!! =)
Have you ever been so frustrated and confused by the decisions that someone makes?? I sometimes wonder if people realize how truly selfish they can be or if they really are just so naive that they don't see what they are doing and how it affects peoples feelings. I know I'm being vague, but I'm not going to call them out on it...but some of you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I completely recognize that the things that are important to me may not be important to other people, but you expect that certain people in your life see what it means to you and respect that...but I guess not. I don't mean to come across as cynical, but it really makes you think when people make decisions without caring about how it affects other people.
I don't know...again, just having a blah day and somethings on my mind are not helping =(...oh well; tomorrow's a new day! =)

Eric felt it too!
Eric finally got to feel him kick! I think he was expecting something a little more pronounced, but it was a kick all the same!....We can finally feel him through my stomach. I was just sitting there with my hand on my stomach the other day and felt a poke. Then I realized what it was....so excited!

Sick Day =(
I hate being sick...then again I don't guess I know anyone that likes it. It seems like a nice break from work, but you feel so bad it doesn't matter. Then you sit at home and worry about what you are missing and how much work you will have when you get back...sigh....
On a better note, we registered for a crib last night....here it is:http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=62438&CatID=62709&GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=137ceff&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=624386270262709
It's plain and simple. I just don't see the point in paying a lot of money for crib. This one converts into a toddler and then full size bed. Plus it has the matching dresser and chest which a lot don't I didn't want the actual changing table because you don't use it after the kid is out of diapers. We will just get one of the changing pads and put in on the chest....
Okay...I'm tired and going back to sleep now...

Cribs, Bedding, and Elvis
We got the bedding for the little guy and I love it! After looking around for a while we pretty much decided that we HATE all boy bedding. It is all very "typical" little boy stuff and we wanted something different. So here is what we got, with a few modifications: http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/nb51/index.cfm?pkey=cboys%2Dnursery%2Dbedding%7Cb
I got the bumper and the crib skirt, but not the sheets or the quilt. I am planning to do his room in navy blue, white, and yellow so I got a yellow gingham crib sheet instead of the white to help tie it all in. I think it looks so good together. I wanted to go very simple on the bedding so I could put a little bit more up on the walls. Of course he will have a sports themed room room and I found some canvas pictures that I like, but am not sure about yet. I love when they have the big letters and spell out the babys name so I got some of those too. I may actually end up getting the blanket/quilt later, but I'm not sure. I may get a yellow quilt to bring out that color anyway. I will have it embroidered with his name and date of birth so I have to wait until he actually is born anyway to have it done.
We are going to start really looking for the crib/furniture too. We actually went today to Babies R Us and found one crib that we liked, but it was SO MUCH cheaper than all of the other ones I am concerned that it may not be of the highest quality. I love the Pottery Barn cribs, but they are ridiculously expensive. I am thinking we will probably end up getting one from JC Penny. That is where most people I know have gone.
Now...you may be wondering where Elvis fits into this....this kid LOVES Elvis! It's so strange. I was in the car and put in my Elvis CD and he went nuts! I wanted to see if it was just a coincidence and as soon as I turned it off he stopped. I turned it back on and he started again. Then I put in my Beatles CD to see if he truly had good taste in music, but to my dismay there was no action (give him time and I'll make him love it!). But basically, he seems to really like Elvis! Nothing else has made him kick like that before...maybe I should buy him some blue suede shoes!

And Baby Bethea's Name Is...
Here is an email that Eric has/is going to send out:
"We wanted to let everyone know that Alana and I sat down with a baby name book over the last two or three nights and have decided on the name of our son………………………Unfortunately, you will all have to wait till his birth to find out the name as we want there to be some surprise leading up to the day. We just wanted to let you all know that his name has officially been picked out and we are both very happy with it. Therefore, telling us "just don't name him (fill in the blank) is probably not wise because if we actually picked that name you will feel a little silly. Don’t worry, it’s not Otto or Dante or anything crazy like that. And no, we won’t be giving hints nor will we give out initials or anything like that…..haha."
Sorry to trick you all like that =)...That being said, I'm actually surprised that we agreed on the name. We both really like it and we think it will fit him well. So in a few months you guys can find out too!!

My Sweetheart
Look at how sweet my husband is! He got me some special flowers the day we found out we were having a boy! And no he didn't buy me wilting flowers =). I took this picture on Monday and he got them the Thursday before. With all the chaos that has ensued over the past week I am just now getting to post this...Thanks Babe!
