Baby Crib and Changing Table

We bought a crib and changing table! We found a local online advertisement for what appeared to be a great price for the quality of the crib. Yesterday we contacted the people, went to their house, and bought both pieces! I had been looking online for about a week or so, and think we made out really well with what we got. Although we do not have the space cleared out quite yet, we don't have to stress anymore about finding a crib and changing table. Currently the changing table is in the hall and the crib is in the living room. I've started tackling the mess of our extra bedroom, but we have a lot of work to go. The goal is to be able to rearrange the room to fit the crib, changing table, desk, full size bed and all of our other odds and ends. Needless to say we are anxiously awaiting word from Jason's job as to when/WHERE we can buy a home. Our hope is to be able to stick around Green Bay...we'll see.

20 weeks

Well we have officialy hit the half way point. Yesterday I was 20 weeks along. My belly continues to grow :). The baby has been kicking quite a bit more in the last several days. Jason told me that when I was still sleeping this morning he put his hand on my belly and thinks he felt the baby kick for the first time. Pretty soon he'll be able to feel the baby kick with no question. :)

Baby Kicks

I have been feeling the baby kick quite a bit more in the last couple of days. They are not super strong, but strong enough that it is no question that it is a kick. Sometimes it is just one kick and others it is SEVERAL kicks in a row in the same spot. It is so cool and weird at the same time. Jason still hasn't been able to feel the baby kick yet, but with the strength of the kicks increasing each day, he should be able to soon.

The baby must know I am writing about it write now...I just felt several kicks! I will be 20 weeks on Saturday and plan on taking another "belly pic" this weekend. It is my hope to have it up by Sunday evening.

Busy Weekend!

It is 8:45 on Monday night and I am about ready to crash! This past weekend was very exhausting, but also exciting. First of all on Friday I felt the baby kick for the first time. I was in my classroom during study hall at the end of the day talking to one of my students. Midway through the conversation, I said "Ooo, I think I just felt the baby kick!". The student was so cute, he started clapping and cheering, and got the rest of the class to follow suit. Then that night Jason and I went to a movie and during the movie I felt the baby kick 2 more times. It was really cool!

Saturday I spent the day watching/coach volleyball at our home varsity invite. It was a very long day!

Sunday we met my parents in Appleton. They drove down for the day to help us get started with a baby registry. We went non-stop from 10:30a to 5:00p! The boys lasted with us through the morning, but then went and watched the Packer Game a restaurant near by. After a morning of "looking around" my mom and I went back to Babies R Us and spent almost 2 hours registering. Then went and spent more time at Target doing the same thing! To top the day off...although exhausted...we went shopping for more maternity clothes. Needless to say the day was very overwhelming but successful! The registry is not complete but we have a GREAT start. THANKS MOM AND DAD!!!!!! :)

***P.S. Our friends Dustin and Tara Zeal welcomed a baby girl to the world on Sunday October 5 :) Ashlyn Kelly Zeal. Congrats to the Zeal Family!
