21 Week Preggie Update

19 more weeks to go!  Over half way done.  I know I say I can't believe it every post, but I CAN'T BELIVE IT!  I really don't have anything different to say this week other than I am so excited to become a mother.  I still know that this will be an adjustment for me and us but we will definitely make this work!! 

I've been in DIY mode this week and just trying to get organized.  I get pretty winded and tired and have to take breaks, but I'm determined to get things done. One thing for sure that I will get done this week and trying to organize Baby B's room.  It was our guest room/my closet so I have to find a new home for all those things.  I also plan to add furniture to my Amazon wishlist.  Trying to decide between brown, black or gray.  The room is green for a frame of reference.  I'll post a pic when it's clean.  

We are also planning a dinner and ice cream date this week. We're going to go to my favorite thai restaurant and I'm so excited.  I love food!

Milestones: We had our 20 week checkup and everything was perfect.  We also are not finding out the gender but we do have a sealed envelope with a pic to put in the baby book! :)

Question:  Which is the best registry to use for baby?  I'm thinking about Amazon and BabyList, but what are the other options? Which gives you the best experience?
