Due date that is! It’s the final countdown and the innate drive to “nest” is in full swing! I am reminded nearly every moment that the time is drawing near.
I am trying to focus on the pregnancy, and enjoy it. This may be the last time I experience the kicks and hiccups within my womb. However, the feeling of anticipation and wonder keeps turning my focus to meeting my new son or daughter!
In the last week I have been experiencing new movement within - hiccups!!! Also, the kicks, punches and stretches have become markedly stronger. This is my favorite part of pregnancy. The back pain, waddling, and exhaustion are not the bonus is this deal:) Another precious memory I will surely treasure are times like this evening: my son leaning on me as we sit on the couch, with his hand on my belly. Joel loves feeling the baby move.
Olivia is less enthusiastic about feeling my belly. She is more interested in details such as: will the baby talk, will it have teeth. can we tickle it, can she hold it… and her greatest anticipation is when she can have a baby in her belly so she can have Tums too:)
Tonight, my husband put togther some shelves from Ikea, to make room for baby things, and to create a more efficient space for Joel and Livi’s toys. I think we are making some progress! We still need to sort through the storage unit and get the saved baby clothes, car seat, bouncer and swing. Hmmm… I’m sure I’ll think of more. I know my scrapbooks won’t be caught-up in time….
