Nursery & Movement Updates
posted on 10/25/2006
It's only been about 2 weeks since we found out we're expecting our precious baby girl, but we've been super busy and productive! This past weekend Tim and I painted the nursery a pale pink. It looks beautiful with the new bed set that Nana bought us!! The room has such a soft and girly feel and I'm not near through with it yet! I've ordered several more items that will go in there as well - the matching canopy for above the bed and the matching clothes hamper are just a few of them. Tim has been out of town this week but he comes back today and we'll move the rest of the furniture back and take some pictures and post them on the website for everyone to see. It's such a beautiful room!!
Today I am 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant. And our little girl has become quite the mover!! Last night I was laying on the couch and was wanting to feel her move. I haven't noticed her moving around a lot the past couple of days because my routine is all off since Tim is out of town. So I had read that by this week of pregnancy, babies are able to detect light if you put a flashlight to your belly. And so I decided to try that. And it worked like a charm!! She moved A LOT!!! It was amazing how she responded to it. She is so much stronger than she'd been just last week. I can't feel her from the outside of my stomach just yet, but she's almost there because it was way more powerful than before. Tim is excited and anxious to get to feel her too and at this rate he won't have to wait too much longer!!
Things have been great lately too! I've been feeling really upbeat with a little bit more energy than in the past few weeks. Things are starting to fall into place and we've begun discussing names again for our little girl. We've pretty much got it narrowed down so we'll announce it officially shortly I'm sure!
I'll be posting another belly picture and some pictures of the nursery this week too so keep checking!
We hope everyone has a great Halloween! We're planning on doing some pumpkin carving ourselves this weekend! :)
Love,
Steph & Tim
