Over the past week, Beka has been feeling increased activity from the baby. At one point, as she was getting ready in the morning, she could actually see what looked like repeated kicking (and rapid-fire at that). I suppose it could have been punching, elbowing, or head butting, but at the rate she described, I would guess it was kicking. Whatever it was, he's as active as ever.
After the ultrasound last week, the due date has been revised to September 16 (three days earlier than the original due date of the 19th), so mark your calendars. They estimated the weight to be about 13 ounces, which seems pretty big for being around 20 weeks old.
A necessary part of this whole process is figuring out what "baby accessories" we need. I'm not too keen on walking down aisles and aisles of baby paraphernalia, but I've been a sport. This past weekend, we started our registry at Babies R Us, but could only take so much before it was time to go. Needless to say, we have some reading to do before we choose many of the necessary items. I just have to look at it like a game... the whole thing is a racket and it's our job to decipher the good investments from the waste.

Dave, I'm surprised you don't like the scanner "gun"! Babies r Us is definitely overwhelming, so feel free to ask some experienced parents (you have at least two right in your family!) for advise on the things you have to have and the things that are really not necessary. Mom's love to give advise, as you probably have already learned! :)
