29 Weeks

What a great shower! Anjie, Carrie, Heather, Holly, and Linley hosted a baby shower for me in Hilton Head (your names are in alphabetical order, girls...). It was so much fun to see all of my old friends. I miss everyone so much! Thanks to everyone who took the time to come... I know how busy everyone is. I just wish I could have spent more time talking to each of you. It went by so quickly! Thanks especially to my mom, Suzanne, and little Stace who had to drive from out of town to come.

When I got home last night, Mark and I unloaded the car, and the nursery actually looks like a nursery now! There are lots of baby things in there! Mark had his first real taste of what the upcoming years will bring... putting toys together!! Our first babies, AKA Buddy, Holly, and Denver, were very interested in all the goodies. We could see that stuffed toys and soft blankies are going to be a problem, as we had to hide all of them to keep them from getting chewed!

The crib is here!!! We were so excited to get the call yesterday that the crib had arrived. Since it wasn't supposed to come in until the beginning of October, we were really nervous that the crib wouldn't arrive until after the baby. Mark was repainting the nursery yesterday (and he painted our bedroom, too!), so I went to pick up the the crib. Today we put it together. It took us less than an hour. We love it!!!

Starting the Nursery

Happy Sunday... Mark is painting the nursery today. Unfortunately, it is hot outside, so he is dying with the windows open. Neither one of us thought it would get that hot in there. He is working quickly and will be through in no time (says me as I sit downstairs in the cool AC). We chose a light khaki/taupe color. Our bedding came in this week! The bumper is a sage green and chocolate brown linen, and the crib skirt is the same green linen. Can't wait for the crib to get here!!!!

My belly seems to be growing like crazy. Mark is able to feel the baby kicking quite a bit now. That has been exciting for both of us. I'm still feeling good and looking forward to the rest of the pregnancy!

June 5, 2008 Happy Anniversary

Today was the first day I felt the baby kick from the outside. And today is our fourth anniversary! What a present! I was on the couch with the remote balanced on my stomach, and all of a sudden, it jumped up. I put my hand where the remote had been, and sure enough, I felt another kick! Amazing!

Starting to get a little belly! I'm feeling the baby moving a little. It's not flutters... feels more like a muscle twitch. I can't wait to feel some kicks!
