Seeing my stomach move

Starting this past Tuesday, I've been able to actually see the baby kicking. Jeff finally got to see it today - it's like an alien in there. The baby took about a week and a half hiatus from moving much, so I called the doc (he has encouraged me to call him for less....) and I got an ultrasound on Monday. He assured me that everything looked fine, and he said I just have a "laid back baby." Hey, I'd pay money to have a laid-back baby once he/she is born - but I want to see him/her first - it's a little TOO laid-back when I can't feel it move much and I can't SEE that it's okay. Well, the baby got the message, and it's been making up for lost time ever since.

So I'm done with all of my traveling after getting back from Orlando on Tuesday evening. It was great to see Kelly on Thursday night - I haven't hung out with her sine before I was pregnant, and this after I thought I'd get to see her "all the time," living in Indy!

We got our Christmas tree up and decorated this week, and I'm hopefully going to get a bigger dent in the Christmas shopping done tomorrow. We also purchased a few key items for the nursery this week - a mattress, rocker/recliner, and a bookshelf. We have the dresser (doubling as a changing table) picked out and just need to place the order, and now we need to figure out the decorating! Paint color, bedding, and window treatments...

We're looking forward to a month filled with family, friends, and celebrating the season.

My blog has been very boring lately with no photos - I'll try to do something fun enough to photograph soon :) Take care.
