Baby Registry




I've been asked by some if we were going to register for the baby, as well as what stores are on Oahu. Currently the best stores we have right now include: Walmart, USA Baby, and Sears. Gift Cards at any of those stores (or Amazon.com) would be greatly appreciated!!! We have already gotten a Crib, Swing, Bouncer, Stroller & Carseat. The Swing and Bouncer are Fisher Price (Rainforest Theme) -- so we are going to use that theme for the baby's room. (If that helps. . . hint hint) You can also shop online at: http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.walmart.com/, http://www.babiesrus.com/, http://www.buybuybaby.com/, http://www.sears.com/, http://www.onestepahead.com/, and http://www.rightstart.com/. ;-) Online shopping is a great way to go (Amazon is a great way to shop because you can usually qualify for FREE SHIPPING), but just make sure that the items can be shipped to Hawaii. Most online stores don't ship large or oversized items to Hawaii.

Now . . . an update about me. I received a call from my doctor about my test results. I was initially worried, because I had just taken my glucose tolerance test which would show if I was likely to get gestational diabetes. Well, the glucose test was normal . . . But I am very anemic. My Hemaglobin and Hematocrit levels were 10 & 31 (For those who don't know, the low end of normal is 13 & 39). My doctor recommended that I start taking Iron supplements twice a day in addition to my Prenatal Vitamins. :-( (Good for Baby, Bad for Regularity). I don't have much else to report. My next appointment is this week (September 3). I will keep everyone posted!
Love, Nicole
