Exciting Things To Come

We went by our house yesterday to take measurements so we can plan out furniture placement ahead of time. I can't believe that in less than two weeks we will be closing on our own house! I'm already planning out window treatments and a vegetable/herb garden in my head. Who knows whether or not they will come to fruition prior to the birth of our baby, but I'll do my best. I have very big plans for painting murals in the nursery...that will happen first. I'm ready to test my artistic abilities, but my self expectations might be a tad high since I'm a perfectionist. If I fail I'll simply paint over it, but I won't be happy about it.

I'm hoping that amongst all of the chaos my husband will be able to feel the wiggling going on in my tummy. The little munchkin has been wiggling noticably for me for about two weeks now, but it's still too early for him to feel it externally. I'm also starting to feel a bit snug in the waistline. Some pants have already gone into retirement, but I'm going to make my regular pants last as long as possible. Rubber bands are key in giving me the extra couple of inches I need. I'm none too anxious to wear maternity pants since I'll be wearing the same precious few pairs of pants for several months. I cannot believe I'm almost halfway through my pregnancy! Time is just flying.

I had my monthly checkup this morning. Everything is progressing marvelously. We scheduled our ultrasound for two weeks from tomorrow. We cannot wait to see that little face in there! That is going to be one exciting week. Our closing for the house is scheduled for just two days prior and immediately following our ultrasound we are moving. Don't worry, we have recruited lots of help with lifting the boxes and furniture. There are multiple family members who will work for food. I'll make a conscious effort not to overdo it. I can hardly contain myself!!
