My belly has stuck around, so I think it's safe to say it's here to stay. Even first thing in the morning when I'm lying on my back (yeah, I still do that, so what?), it looks like I swallowed a whole cantaloupe. I love lingering in bed in the mornings. I tend to feel movement then, too, and it's so peaceful and calm. It's nice for us both to marvel at my growing belly before starting our day.
I'm feeling movement more and more. It ranges from what feels like muscle spasms in one tiny spot to fluttering to bubbles popping. In fact, bubbles were popping in there for several hours yesterday afternoon. I loved it! I didn't want to move or concentrate too hard on something because I didn't want to miss a single thing.
My mom visited over the weekend and we went maternity clothes shopping. I picked up a good amount of things, and since I fully embrace my Old Navy yoga pants and tank tops for my many hours at home, I'm probably pretty well set in the wardrobe department.
We also ordered the crib and it should be here in a few days. My mom and stepdad shipped us the rocking chair my mom used when I was a baby, and that arrived yesterday. It won't be as comfortable as those amazing rocker/glider/cushiony options available for well over $400, but it's free. And, I've decided to officially consider it a family heirloom since it's been passed down to us. Plus, the bonus is it doesn't look like it has to belong in a nursery, so we'll be able to fit it in to the decor of another room later. The countdown to the anatomy scan is 12 days! I hope this baby cooperates. I'm ready to start looking at gender-specific things.
