We've got our crib! Well, we will this weekend anyway. My mom and dad wanted to buy it so we all went out the other day to look at them and found a very cute one. My parents are so great! I also have my baby shower next weekend which my wonderful aunts are throwing for me. I am really excited about it! So it looks like things are finally starting to come together.

Had my 1 hr glucose test last Thursday and failed....barely, but enough that I had to take the dreaded 3 hr test yesterday. Ugh!!!!! I hate that test! I should find out by the end of the week if I passed it. The nurse seemed to think since I was so close to normal on the first one that I would probably pass the second one just fine. When she was telling me this I was just thinking... if you know I'll pass the second one, why torture me by making me take it? Meanie!!!! Oh well, I know it's probably for the best....still doesn't make it any easier.

We also looked at our first day care center this week. We looked at KinderCare (referred to us by my friend Jill). It went pretty good. They are very close to John's work and they do flexible schedules which is essential to us and I have found very few centers willing to do it. We are hoping that between our work schedules we will only need to take her to a day care provider 3 days a week. I wish we didn't have to take her anywhere at all, but unless we win the lottery or something we have no other option. It's a bummer. :( One thing I can't seem to grasp is the cost of day care....HOLY COW!!!!! John and I make pretty good money, we don't live beyond our means, but still we are definitely going to be feeling the pinch for a while! I don't know how people with much less make this work....especially with more then one child. It's crazy!!!

Oh and my registry at Babies R Us is completely screwed up I think...ugh!!! BRU and Amazon.com (who BRU uses for their on-line registry/buying) are going separate ways. I was looking at my registry online and noticed that darn near everything I had on there said "This Item is Currently Not Available." What the heck!!!!! So I call BRU and come to find out they are slowly moving everything from Amazon.com to a new website (that won't be up and running until sometime in July!!). So anyone who wants to order online or just look to get an idea of what to buy will be meet with very little options. The real kicker is that all these items they say are "unavailable" ARE AVAILABLE in any store, just not online...which they don't clarify for online customers. It would have been nice of them to let their customers know before hand that this was going to be an issue instead of just making us figure it all out on our own after we've already registered. I'm starting to dislike BRU more and more...every time I turn around there's another problem. The second being that I know for a fact that some things on my registry have been purchased, but there not showing up as already being purchased like their suppose too. So I have a feeling I might end up with duplicate things, which is no big problem I can just take them back for something else but BRU have also changed their return policy. You can no longer just return it for something else...you need a gift receipt. So if I don't get gift receipts with the gifts I won't be able to return them. People forget all the time to add those things to the gifts they give. If I'd known they were going to have all these problems I would have registered somewhere else....Ugh!

Well, have I ranted and raved enough for you, lol!?!? Sorry for all the subject jumping and rambling, guess I just had a lot to say today.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far! Have a great weekend!
