Last night we tackled the task of cleaning our our bedroom/closets. It was a big job to say the least. We had a huge pile of stuff to give to our church garage sale and threw away a bunch of junk that I don't know why we were holding onto. Some stuff was hard to let go of(LOL) but I know we need the space more, and just knowing that we are clutter free feels SOOOOO GOOD!!!! We have a little closet space for our daughter, and it looks so cute with some little clothes and shoes already stored there........SIGH!!! :) :) God is so good.
Speaking of our daughter, she has been very active the last couple weeks. She is definitely growing bigger every day, as I feel every movement, not just kicks anymore. When she moves, my tummy moves everywhere with her, and Sam loves to watch and feel her movements! The other night, I was sitting on the couch, and all of a sudden, my stomach got really hard to the right/middle and she didn't move from that positon for a long time - we even pushed on it, and she didn't budge. We couldn't figure out what part of her it was, but it was so cool how she just kept pushing out for so long, and SO HARD! :) I can't wait to see what kind of personality she is going to have.
Things are really starting to fall into place for this little one. We have a hospital tour coming up, then a 3 night prenatal birthing class at the hospital, which I think will give us both a lot of good perspective. Sam's parents have graciously bought us a crib(which is already here) and are going to give us the crib bedding as well. We picked it out last week and it is JUST PERFECT! We have searched and searched, but we couldn't really agree on which one we liked. Then we saw this one, with baby birds, owls, and a little tree and flowers all over. It is quilted and fits her so perfectly.....everyone knows I am in love with baby owls!!! I already have a copy of "Owl Babies" (one of my favorite children's books) to read to the baby.
As far as weight gain goes, well it's going - up! LOL I don't have too many strong cravings, except for my love of watermelon, which is all the time, and general love of pickles. I am also very excited because of Easter candy season, which mean Starburst jellybeans!!!!! They only come out this time of year, and they are the best tasting jellybeans in my opinion. Sam bought me a bag yesterday, and I put a HUGE dent in it already. :) I think the big sugar rush is what triggered the baby to start moving a lot last night - she loves jellybeans too. :) Awww, my little jellybean!
What's Developing: Baby's now the size of a squash!Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath her skin. And since she's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs!
