Friends,

By request, we have a baby registry.

The pregnancy is proving very difficult on Shannon and hence, though less acutely, on both Nico and me. I am still very busy until mid-May, although the last week of April grants a brief reprieve with exam week (I'll just do the grading during naptime and at night). I'll let her speak about her own issues if she wants to, but there does not seem to be any imminent danger to either child or mother. It's just very difficult.

Daily, I wish we were back home in Minnesota where we would have had a support system. That's probably the toughest part.

Nico is doing well, although he's showing new behaviors that make certain things more complicated (continued difficulties expanding his diet, lots of shyness/crying around strangers, etc.). But he's very sweet and working hard on figuring this walking and communicating thing out. I had thought we'd surely have him walking by June when the baby comes, but now I am less sure. He's on his own schedule and hasn't seen fit to give us a copy!

And now ... grading.

It doesn't allow ordering from a billing address outside the US. Cross-register at Amazon, maybe?

Um ... I'll try. Or yell at BabiesRUs.

alternately, you could paypal an american some money and a list of what to order with it. i don't think you know me, so i am hesitant to volunteer since how do you know i won't run off to tibet with the money. but, it might be a possibility that you could do that with someone else.

Thanks for the offer -- another alternative is to find the same item(s) at Amazon, and send it from there. :)

I can vouch that she wouldn't run off to Tibet with the money. She can't bike from Canada to there. ;)

Suppose someone noticed a critical item that was missing from the registry.

Suppose one wanted to purchase said item and send it through regular mail.

Where might one want to send such an item?

Send me an email and i'll send you my address. Yeah, registrys are not meant to be the only things we might possibly want or need. We were just asked by some friends to make one, so we did!

Email sent.
