A Moving Machine!

Over the past two weeks, I have discovered my ultimate new found "favorite" of my pregnancy....what I have been waiting for, for weeks and weeks...........feeling our little man move EVERY day!!! :) Getting out of bed has become one of the hardest things for me to convince myself to do each morning, because when I am lying down he is the most active. Crawling into bed has become one of my favorite times of the day as well, because his movements give me reassurance and literally sooth me to sleep. Sounds funny, I know! It is by far the GREATEST feeling, to not only wake up next to my best friend, but to also be woken up by the "love taps" from my baby. I really cannot wait for his daddy to start feeling his movements. Stephen is becoming more and more excited to meet his little buddy, too! He is just beaming with pride and love for our baby...he makes my heart swell with so much love for him and our little one. Deep down, I can tell he is already planning his future hunting trips with our son! haha ;) I think he is hoping he will pop out with full camo gear and a bow and arrow - haha! We are both so in love with him already and cannot wait to meet him!

Along with babies movements...My tummy is continuing to grow right along with him and I have been feeling pretty darn good. Aside from the dreaded tossing and turning of sleepless nights and baby making me feel 10 degrees hotter than it is outside (so about 105+ or so some days), I am loving second trimester! And, as far as I am concerned, baby can just stay right where he is for as long as he wants. ;) Although I am so, so, SO very excited to meet him, the thought of how our lives will change once he is here is still hard to grasp at the moment! It is so much easier to take care of him and know he is safe while he is in my tummy. :)

We purchased our first piece of nursery furniture last week....the CRIB! :) Feels good to have the main piece of nursery furniture in our hands. I cannot wait to start putting furniture together and decorate!!! Along with my little nursery projects here and there...both Grandmothers are working on bedding and decor for the owl themed nursery!! Baby is very spoiled already and we are SO lucky to have so many "talented hands" in both of our families. :) Our family is extremely blessed....


Here is a picture of our favorite clothing gift so far...Uncle Jordan and Auntie Lauren brought it back from their trip to Hawaii...thanks again you two...it's priceless!! :) It is a little onesie that says "one man wolf pack" hahahah
