Week 22- 23- Baby kick, room may need to be changed, baby registry

The other night I finally felt the baby kick. We were laying in bed and my wife grabbed my hand and pressed it against her stomach. Immediately I felt a small kick and then another. It was crazy and amazing at the same time. My wife is showing more and more it seems by the day. Her small washboard tummy is no longer and she now shows a small baby sac. It's very cute on her and she looks great.
My wife has been terrific for her whole pregnancy so far. But the other day I become a little frustrated. During March Break we had a discussion about if the baby's room needed to be painted that it would be a great time to do it. She was sick and I was bored and had lots of time on my hands. We decided that we didn't need to paint anything as our theme and current colour of the room went together. Well, I guess things can change quickly because apparently she now wants it painted. Really? now that we're back at work and busy most weekends, she now wants it painted. Women are CRAZY.
My wife has started a baby registry with the help of her sister. A lot of her friends have been very generous with their old things but there are obviously still many things that we are in need of. I honestly know nothing about infants and therefore felt that this was a project that would be best completed without my help. My wife agreed (probably so she could register for whatever she wanted), but I dont mind at all.
Last weekend we had my cousins Jack n' Jill.  We were on our way with my brother and his girlfriend when our car decided to stop moving. I pulled over and did what every manly man does and looked under the hood for the problem. Problem is I don't know anything about cars, so this was a waste of about 30 seconds. Luckily, a CAA truck drove past us and stopped at the lights, 100 metres behind us, so my brother could flag him down. By the way we were an hour away in the middle of nowhere. I mean there was basically nothing around us. The CAA guy was helpful and ended up driving our car all the way to Whitby, from Bolton, using my father in laws CAA number. My mother came and pick us up from a gas station after about an hour of driving around looking for us. We made it to the Jack n Jill will a couple of hours remaining, it was a good time. The night's uncomfortable feeling wasn't over as we now had to fit 6 people into a small car for an hour drive home. NOT very fun when your pregnant wife is leaning on your stomach the whole time, and her back was hurting from her position. But, it could have been worst and I thank my mom for coming to pick us up. 
We found out it was the transmission and will cost, a pretty penny. Doesn't always go this way, as soon as you get your finances together and feel good moving forward, something comes and fucks you right over.

Baby Business:
1. Length 27 c.m - 28 c.m
2. Baby can be seen holding and playing with the umbilical cord (if it's a boy it won't be the last time he's alone playing with his cord)
3. As the baby grows, it presses against the mothers organs which can result in many interesting digestive system problems - like heart burn and gas (funny, I wonder if I'm pregnant?)
4. Lungs are working now but not to full capacity
5. Baby's heart beat begins to decrease a bit
