Camcorder

Nathan and I are in the market for a camcorder to capture all the firsts of our little one. However, we have no idea what to get. DVD vs. hard drive vs Mini DV? is one better than the other? Right now we have a fuive year old computer that probably couldn't support doing a bunch of video editing, but that will probably change in a year or two. We do have a dvd burner, so the hard drive one might be the way to go. What are good brands for camcorders? We are also not looking to break the bank espicially if we have to buy all the extras like a long life battery, case, and tripod.

Just kickin it

The baby has started to kick hard enough to make my stomach move! It was the strangest thing. I was sitting on the couch reading my lastest baby book. The bottom of the book was resting on my stomach and I was looking down while I was reading. Then BOOM my stomach clearly moved. And just to make sure I did not think I was crazy the baby did it again. I have been feeling the baby for weeks now, but to start seeing the baby's kicks on the outside took me aback.

I know I am having a baby and Nathan and I could not want anything more. However it is still so hard to wrap my mind around the fact that a little baby is actually growing inside of me. And I am blown away by every little or not so little change, because it just continues to reconfirm that pretty soon we will have a little one!

I laughed....

but I felt a little bad about it.

Baby Shower

Here are a few pictures from my baby shower in St. Louis. The first one is me with my sister-in-law Sara and Nathan's couisin's wife Sara as you can see it was battle of the bellies. The next is Nathan and I holding the cake and finally a nice group shot. All and all it was a fun time and we got so many cute things for the baby.

Get Political

I want to be an informed voter in the up coming elections. I do try and watch the news and interviews with the canidates, however I am not avid about it. So I am concerned about making an informed choice. Nathan forwarded me this link that allows you to pick the answers to tough questions you like the best and at the end it tells you which canidate your views are most like.
