Baby Girl Update

Still no name. We've got a few odds and ends of ideas, nothing that has really stuck. I'm beginning to wonder if this is the first baby I'll end up in the hospital with a list of names instead of just a name. Ok, that could drive me crazy. Maybe not.

Emily was the first one to feel the baby kick this morning. I tried with Nathan after we put the girls to bed, but he just couldn't feel it. Emily was thrilled. She was pointing to the spot on her hand that the baby kicked. Of course, the kicking still isn't very strong. It actually tickles more than just the little movements.Sometimes I even forget I'm pregnant. I'll be walking down the hallway at church and someone will ask, "how are you feeling?" You know, the kind of asking that they expect a different answer then, "oh, fine", or "oh, great". So, they probably get an odd look from me as I say, "good." Then I realize, I'm pregnant. That's why they're asking! Um, that still doesn't change my answer. I feel just great and I forget I'm pregnant unless I'm looking in the mirror, changing my clothes, I feel the baby kick (which is few and far between since I can only feel the baby kick when I'm still and she's awake.), or 10 seconds after someone asks me how I feel because that's how long it takes to process why they are asking.

The nursery is set up. Too early? Most likely. But I was worried about waiting too long because of how busy our semesters can get. There's still stuff hanging around that will need to go up on the walls, but I can do that myself 8 or 9 months pregnant when I have everything. I'm thinking though, with the nursery already set up, this could be a long pregnancy. I'll just have to focus on crafting for the baby. :)I've already made this for the baby. I need to find a better way to store the bracelets. This baby has way more bracelets then I've had pieces of jewelry all my life. (Probably even counting the ctr rings they passed out when I was in primary.)


And then in my baby crafting search I found this! (Look, Nathan, someone with more hair bows then I have.) Nathan likes to tease me about how many hair bows I have. I'll tell him I've made some more and he'll say, "oh that's great. We don't have enough." Well, it looks like we don't have enough. We have long since outgrown my hair bow holder (I'd have to have 5 or 6 of the hair bow picture frames to fit my hair bows) So while I can do one for the baby's room because it's cute, I still have to put the rest of my bows somewhere else. I found this picture here at "Adopt a 'Do - Cute Girl Hairstyles". Just in case anyone wanted to see cute ways to do a little girls hair.


Then, I found another tutorial for a car seat tent, or cover. I don't care what you call it, I think it is so cute. I love the look of this one even better than the last one.
Not that I really need anything added to my mile long "to-do" list.
