Almost Ready for His Closeup

Now that we found out we'll be bringing home a little baby boy- we were ready to start preparing for Kubs. 

We've registered. You think this is easy stuff but there are books written about all the do's and don'ts of registering. Figuring out where to begin was a little overwhelming! Lucky for me, Jay was up to the task of sorting through Consumer Reports and starting a list. He even bought me a book to help! And after one intense baby weekend- we were registered. 

If you're interested you can find us at Target, Amazon, and Great Beginnings (http://www.greatbeginningsonline.com/) all under Jeremy Lawson and/or Sandra Lawson. 

(I know it's cheating since I haven't actually changed my name yet, BUT I did have a date with the Social Security Office to get that sorted out when Sandy got in the way!)

We didn't register for a lot of clothes and toys, mostly because those are things people love to choose on their own and I'm sure if you pick out a toy or clothing we'll both OooOOo and AaaaAaaa and Kubs will surely enjoy them! 

Registry weekend also included cribs. My mom and dad went shopping with us. We picked out a lovely crib set (it's this ash brown color) and a glider. The crib set was a gift from my parents and we are so thankful to have them near by for support and advice! Of course, baby furniture takes 10-14 weeks to ship... so we've got some time!

You'd think after registries and cribs you'd be done, right? Nope! The only car Jay and I own is a sporty 2-door Scion- wonderful for those sunny days but not so much fun with a car seat in the back. So, last Friday we bought a new car, fully equipped with 4 doors- make way for Kubs's new ride: 

Our new 2013 Subaru Impreza

We have a month of busy times ahead of us- baby showers, holiday giving at work, family visits, more baby showers and of course the holidays!! So we'll try and keep the updates coming, but feel free to email or call if the updates become too few and far between. 

Last, but not least, Kubs must know that his mom will be bombarding him with all kinds of pictures when he's born because he's a stubborn one when it comes to sonagrams! The good news is that we have a healthy growing baby- whose new due date is Jan. 28, 2013. The 'eh' news is that he still isn't a ham. 

Here's the best picture we got at our last ultrasound, which is a little hard to make out. Maureen was the one who cleared this picture for me. Kubs's face is head on. His nose is toward the bottom middle if that helps and his hands are folded under his chin: 

Kubs: 27 weeks and 4 days

Keep the emails, calls, and prayers coming! Saturday officially makes the start of our third (and last trimester!!). Pretty soon, we'll be bringing Kubs home and we just cannot wait!
