As silly as it sounds, that's how it feels right now with Isabella in my belly!
She is moving and moving all the time! Mostly at night..of course. But this evening-granted it is 11pm- she is going all out! It feels like an all out dance marathon, but its good because it means she's healthy and strong! Yes, it causes extra bouts of heartburn and an extra 5 visits to the bathroom an hour, but it's sooooo worth it! It warms my heart with every "little" punch, kick, head butt, or full on body slam that she does in there. It makes me smile and feel filled with so much love.
Doug and I were blessed enough to have our Grandma Pederson buy our baby shower gift today-3 weeks before the big party!!!- a crib for Isabella! It's beautiful and perfect! And yes, I sat there looking at the computer screen for a good 35 minutes debating between cherry or coffee stained..Seriously? How lame do I feel now??? But at last I decided on coffee stained and its a 4-in-1 "sleigh" crib and we love it. Doug said he loved all the pictures I showed him, so all the pressure was on me...hee hee huu..hee hee huu... Totally kidding-but for real it was stressful but I am happy with our choice and I hope it looks just as great with the bedding we picked out in reality as it does in my head! I have a feeling Isabella won't care as much at first as much as I will. I want something just a smidgen as beautiful as I know she is for her to sleep in. Well I should try to take some more Tums and nibble some crackers or something before I knit. I want to knit until I fall asleep tonight!
Yay my Mum is coming out to see me in 2 days and I cannot wait for her to feel her little grandbaby kicking away!!!
I would love to see pictures of the crib and bedding!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of her! I'm sure that is a weight off of your shoulders! Cribs are expensive!
My parents bought our crib and Noah ended up sleeping in our bed... (still does). So we are keeping it for our next little one haha.
I love how positive you are about everything. I was definitely not like that, lol Being pregnant was not my thing.
Yeah I can send you the links to the crib and bedding...I would love your opinion. Hubby is Sweden when it comes to this stuff- probably because he's afraid I'll get all upset and cry about it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks about the positive notes, I am not always miss optimistic when I am not sleeping or don't feel like going anywhere but I am trying.
