Moving Right Along

  Well.... the last month has flown by... along with my pregnancy, which is a good thing!! So far Im still feeling great.... I dont have a ton of energy... but I never did before either:) I love my naps! We cleaned out the "junk room" and Ben and his mom painted the nursery. They got it done in about and hour and a half!! I was sooo surprised at how quickly they finished.... now that I know they can paint that fast I will never paint again. If I had done the painting... I would still be going:) Next on the list is getting the carpets cleaned which is being done right now... then Ben must figure out how to put baby furniture together.... that should be interesting. Olivia is busy doing flips all day which I think is the absolute coolest feeling in the world!! I saw my belly move for the first time this week too.... now I sit and stare at it. Also, Ben got to feel her move for the first time the other night..... he was thrilled!! He jumped away at first and then kept his hand on my belly so he could feel her do her gymnastics:) We registered a few weeks ago too... very overwhelming.... there is just soooo much stuff!! I kept thinking... we are never going to get all this stuff... but I have come to realize most of the stuff is out of convenience and 100 years ago.. things like bouncy seats and swings and play mats and gyms and diaper genies didnt exist... and people actually survived... somehow. God will give us what we need... so Im trying not to worry. So, coming up in the next weeks: I have my glucola test (hope Im not a gestational diabetic because I value my daily dose of chocolate)... my first shower that my mom, sis and mother in law are giving me.... and more work on the nursery!! Very exciting... here are a few pics of some progress we've made!
