I can tell that Adie is getting more and more cramped in there. Her movements have been so much different- more intense. A couple nights ago I was uncomfortable because of how she was positioned and I told Mark that she kept punching me in my pelvis. He laughed and a little while later tried to feel it. She punched so hard he jumped back and said, "Whoa!!! You weren't kidding - she is punching hard!!!" A few nights before that we sat on the couch and watched my stomach roll around. So, so, so weird. At one point there was an obvious hand or foot pushing out in one specific little spot. I know so many people find that just amazing...and it is, but honestly it creeps me out a little bit!!! I've been telling Mark - the whole thing about how mother bonds with the baby for the 10 months of pregnancy...yeah, I feel a bond, but I've also really struggled because I just can't equate this whole alien-like thing going on inside of me with a cute, tiny little precious newborn!! It's just a bit strange!!
A couple weekends ago my parents came over and my dad and Mark built the bookcase for the nursery, my mom made the changing table covers and I made a burp cloth. We all had projects to be proud of at the end of the day! Mark spent the following week getting the bookcase stained and now, the bookcase is complete. We finished up a few last minute touches in the nursery; got new blinds hung up, got the bookcase in and filled up, and a few other little things and now the nursery is officially COMPLETE!!!
