It's gas, it's a twitch, it's a baby!

It's official, I'm feeling this baby kick! Well, they feel more like little taps right now. Like "Hey momma, I'm here, swimming around where it's warm and cozy. What's up with you?" It started around Thanksgiving when I started getting what I thought were little muscle twitches. They were subtle and me formerly being unfamiliar with the feeling of a baby bouncing around in my uterus, I was not convinced it was our baby. But it happened a few times one night, then again the next evening and now they are unmistakeable. I've even been able to feel it on the outside a few times although our little one is already giving daddy a hard time by not cooperating anytime I grab his hand and stick it on my belly. That's right... baby's already got a favorite. (Only kidding, that will take years for him or her to figure out.)

We have also acquired a new glider rocker. Well, when I say new, I mean new to us. It's a craigslist find that we picked up last night. It's a little creaky but were going to see if we can fix that. The upholstery is super country, not exactly my taste, but the plan is to have it recovered. Before and after pics will be a must when that time comes. Hopefully the $75 purchase will prove to be a bargain!

Oh, and I have a secret... We opened the envelope the night we had our sonogram. It turns out that our willpower is nonexistent when all that separates us from one of the greatest surprises of our lives is some weak adhesive on a business sized envelope. So for those of you who have commended us on our strength, I pitifully admit that we broke after less than 12 hours of waiting. If you don't know the secret then you will soon.

Picture time!

Bravely baring my belly!


The sling I purchased a while back finally came in!


Our new Christmas tree looking quite pretty if I do say so myself.
