The Best Time

My friend Eleisha was right: this is the best part of the pregnancy. I'm over the morning sickness (thank goodness), and the baby has started moving around. A LOT. He's kicking me right now. He's gotten really good at kicking me, especially in the bladder, but when someone else puts a hand there, he stops. It's like he knows...Kirk has really wanted to be able to feel him kick, but hasn't yet. A couple of days ago, I was sitting on the couch and he started kicking, so I put my hand there and sure enough I could feel it. So I thought, "If he's kicking me THIS hard, I wonder if I can see it?" So I looked down, and my stomach was jumping like Mexican jelly beans. I made Kirk come watch, and after about 5 minutes my stomach jumped about an inch! Kirk said, "Now I saw that!!" How fun! It's still so hard to imagine that I have a tiny life growing inside of me. It is such a miracle.

We finally got the crib put together, which didn't take near as long as we thought it would. The dresser and rocker are out of the box, but the dresser has like a thousand pieces. That one will take a while. I'll post pictures later when everything is done!
