We've got movement

This past weekend I was having trouble sleeping and ended up on the couch downstairs. I woke up and felt this weird sensation in my lower abdomen. I thought...could it be, nahhh. No way. I felt it a few times on Saturday. It was always in the same spot just below my belly button. They say when the baby kicks it's fluttery like butterfly kisses. Some say it feels like a light tapping or the feeling you get in your stomach as you approach the top of that first hill on a coaster and start your descent. This wasn't what I was feeling at all, so I figured it was gas. I always thought I'd be able to tell the difference when it was my turn. Guess not.

Brian started in the nursery with spackling and painting the ceiling. I highly recommend the tinted ceiling paint (goes on pink and dries white). It makes all the difference in the world unless you are a pro. While we waited for the spackling to dry we ventured out to look at furniture. In 10-12 weeks we should have the crib and dresser/changer combo for Jacob. After a lot of research we chose Next Generation furniture from Baby's Dream in chestnut. I'm so excited and can't wait. The nursery is really coming together and I'll have pics soon. Jacob was extremely active Sunday and I have continued to feel him all week, it's crazy. When I first told Brian what was happening, he got this pouty look on his face and said, when will I be able to feel him? So we tried last night just for the heck of it and he was able to.



I can't believe I'm at 6 mos already. This whole experience is going by so fast and before I know it, Jacob will be here. I'm definitely looking forward to it but I'm starting to get a little nervous. Billions of women have had babies and if they could do it, so can I but I'm afraid of the whole labor & delivery process. For the most part I try not to think of it but sometimes I catch myself and get a little freaked out.

The agenda for this weekend is to fix the little paint mistakes, get the chair rail up, take out the carpet and start and hopefully finish the flooring. Keep your fingers crossed the flooring is as easy as people are saying it is.

The picture of the white crib has the drop gate up, the espresso crib has the drop gate down and then last but not least the dresser/changer combo. Of course I couldn't find any of these pictures in chestnut.
