Update and Nursery Progress"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m going to give you updates on several things all in one post&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Baby Reed is a very active little boy.\u00a0 I am constantly amazed that each day he\u00a0continues to get stronger and move more often.\u00a0 This week he is definitely going through a growth spurt and I am feeling the stretch in my belly.\u00a0 Since my belly has gotten significantly larger\u00a0in the last few weeks people have stopped looking at me and wondering if I&#8217;m pregnant or not.\u00a0 They know!<\/p>\n<p>Now that we no longer have to worry about and dote on Shiloh (tear) we have been able to start doing some of the fun things to prepare for baby.\u00a0 We went to Ikea to buy a bookcase last weekend and finally put it together last night.\u00a0 We have lots more decorating to do in the nursery, but a few pictures are attached below.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have also finally registered.\u00a0 For anyone that is not already a mom I have to warn you&#8230;it is an overwhelming experience.\u00a0 Registering\u00a0for the wedding was fun because\u00a0I already knew about house stuff and what you do and don&#8217;t need.\u00a0 Even though I have lots of friends with babies and grew up in a large family I realized I know nothing about\u00a0what baby gear you do and don&#8217;t need.\u00a0 So registering was a challenging experience for us (because I like to know everything before I dive into something!)\u00a0 Tack on top of the general stress the fact that it was Christmas time so all the stores were packed!!\u00a0 Thankfully, we have finished.\u00a0 Any of you mommies out there, if I have missed something or registered for something stupid feel free to tell me.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not too proud ot admit I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m doing!\u00a0 (We registered at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toysrus.com\/registry\/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">Babies R Us<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/registry\/baby\/portal\" target=\"_blank\">Target<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Finally, showers start next weekend and I am so excited.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait to see friends and family that I don&#8217;t get to see very often, but more importantly the presence of showers means we are starting the final countdown!\u00a0 I am at 30 weeks with less than 10 to go.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait to meet this kid that keeps pushing me around all day!!<\/p>\n<p>Julie<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"33%\">\n<a
