9 Weeks to go!

The countdown to the day we get to meet our little one is now in the single digits! We've reached the 31-week mark today and are starting to get very eager for the big day. I had an appointment this morning to go over my blood work from my last visit. All levels are normal and, other than some slight joint pain and discomfort, I am feeling quite well. The baby is developing on schedule, gaining weight right along with me (although, I seem to be gaining more than he/she... funny how THAT works). My next appointment is over Christmas vacation in about two weeks. All of the hours left over from my paid leave balance will be used in February, so I have been trying to schedule around school the best I can. So far, the weather has been cooperative for those really early morning visits and I've had no problems getting to Bismarck and back without delays. Thanks to the road-crews for keeping the highways and interstate as clear as possible - keep up the good work! We've officially begun registering for baby/nursery items: Amazon.com is our first compiled list and I will be working to create a registry at Target as well. We'll keep you all posted as the weeks progress :) Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers - we appreciate all of the support!

Amazon.com registry:

1. Go to Amazon.com
2. In the left menu: "Shop by Department" you'll find the option for "Toys, Kids, and Baby" and a  window to the right will appear allowing you to select "Baby Registry"
3. Type in "Savannah" and "Elkins" in the fields where you're prompted and you should be directed to the list of items we've placed on our registry

*I'll be adding new items to the list in the next few weeks, after I've had the chance to research a little regarding what items we need and the top products for new parents. If you have suggestions, please let me know - I'm new to this! ;)

Feb. 6th 2012 - We're now also registered at Target :)
