Baby Surprises!

Yes, I am really up this early on my summer vacation! I actually can't believe it myself but I have a little motivation....that gets me up and going! To get me to walk each day, JD has agreed to do a chore of my choice for every day I walk. So yesterday was the first day and it worked....I got up early and walked BUT I did let JD off on his chore......he has to double up tonight. So, sounds a little silly but at this point it is working and if I get some things done around the house just by walking I say, "Deal!" Do you think that remodeling a bathroom is a chore.......wondering if I will be able to throw that out there?! See what he has to work with....

Surprise!! We have started decorating the nursery! While JD was on his trip to New York my family worked so hard putting together the baby furniture and working on the closet! Thanks Dad, Cuyler and Wesley! JD was very surpirsed!!







We got the wall art up and it looks great! It is starting to look like a little nursery! Still no theme yet....I just can't decide on the baby bedding!! Here are some pictures of JD putting up the wall art.....he will not be happy....but he was getting a little frustrated! Maybe beacuse instead of taking pictures I should have been helping.......maybe that was it!




I am now 23 Weeks and feeling great! Surprise! The last couple of days I have felt the baby kicking me! (Or at least that is what I think it is) Even though it happens
at the worst times (middle of the night or early in the morning) for me to have to get up and go to the bathroom. Yes, this kicking sends me directly to the bathroom..........oh well, I love it! It does make me a little nervous because when these kicks get stronger.....who knows what will happen!! This week JD and I started our Childbirth Classes. It went really well! We learned all about warning signs, pre-labor, early and true labor. We talked about when to go to the hosipital and when to hold off....you all know me.......the first sign I get....I am out of here!



Enjoying my Moment and Continuing to Pray,
