I'm sitting on the couch while the laundry finishes drying so I can finish putting the linens on the mattress in the crib. Hopefully I won't over-do myself, since Jason is gone today. I ironed the bed skirt and have already pulled the mattress OUT of the crib single-handedly. Now if only I can get it put back in there. Now, I'm just watching my belly jump and wave while my little peanut does the hokey pokey in there. The last several nights Jason has spent lots of time intently waiting for these instances because he saw it do "The Wave" once before and was amazed. But the time he likes to watch for movement is about the time she starts winding things down for the evening. He told me the other night to make her move, but he doesn't realize it's just as much of a surprise to me as it is him. I cannot make her do anything. Then he said if she didn't do it in five minutes he was turning the light off and going to sleep, as if she could understand that. I wish he could have this belly for just one day, and I wish there was a window so I could see what on earth she does in there all the time. If she moves around this much when she's outside the belly, we are going to have our hands full! I'm working on getting some pictures up of the blankets/quilts I have received for everyone to see. And I'm still trying to get stuff put away and organized from my baby shower. I managed to get the clothes washed and hung up, but everything else is still in bags. Jason put the stroller together and pushed it around the house. He's really impressed with the shocks on the front end, as well as the "Nascar-style" harness that will securely strap her in. This could be bad news for the baby if he's thinking about shocks and Nascar while pushing her stroller. She may need a helmet when her Daddy takes her out! I have had a few of those Braxton Hicks contractions and they have all been in the middle of the night. My belly got really hard and it HURT! I'm starting to get tired of being pregnant and I have about 8 more weeks of it! Luckily it's starting to cool down some, so maybe I won't be sweating out of every pore of my body for the duration of my pregnancy.
