Big week!

The last week has been great- and super busy! Last weekend Justin's family came for Easter weekend- and it was the first time Nathan (J's brother) and his girlfriend Anita had been to our house. After tweaking sleeping arrangements (turns out I forgot our study door has a giant window- he he he), we had a great weekend. While here, Justin parents bought a crib and dresser combo that we've been eyeing! It was very generous! Although we had hoped to bring them home and assemble them, that didn't work out...
We also celebrated Easter with my family- and had a lovely dinner outside in perfect weather. That night we also got a call from my friend and co-worker Michelle who's baby was born early Monday morning. We got to visit them on Wednesday- Michelle is so excited, and Tyler is AMAZING! I can't wait for our little one to be here! Tyler pretty much absorbed all my free thoughts this week- he's enchanting.
Final excitement- the furniture Justin's folks bought for us came in early! On Friday night Justin, Alex, and I got and assembled the furniture- it looks GREAT! I'm hoping to post photos later, but its so exciting to have the nursery start to come together.
Oh- one other piece of excitement- I have now felt the baby moving a few times from the outside- so amazing. He's been largely quiet, so Justin hasn't had a chance to feel him yet, but this is such a neat milestone!

Ode to Tums

Amiee (34 week pregnant co-worker and friend) and I were reveling in the joys of Tums today- and Katy and Karen actually laughed! Ha! I have therefore decided to share publicly my new found love of Tums. I never used them before- but now they are dessert every night. I've got the pretty and delicious mix fruit flavors (taste like sweet tarts- I swear!) Today Amiee hooked me up with the mixed berry- I look forward to savoring them in about an hour. Yeahhhhh- living the dream.
So- embrace the Tums- and buy some for any and all pregnant women you know- they ROCK!

P.S. I'm still sick but less often- averaging one every 2 or so days- yeyeyeyeyyey! My boy is treating me well :)

Quickening

Yey! I finally feel the baby moving around inside. I have felt the movements for a few days- but on Tuesday I was finally sure it was him! Quietly sitting on my boss' couch, I felt the faint lurching of my stomach or pressure like a moth hitting a window. Its very weird!
We were so excited, that we spend Friday night with Alex and his stethoscope- after much poking and prodding, none of the three of us could hear the baby's heartbeat (though the three of us, and Belle, and Pete sound cool). Guess we'll try again next month!
Its amazing to feel a little being inside! I can't wait for Justin to be able to feel him, too (and Justin's pretty eager!)
