Mid-Pregnancy Update (A Reflection)

Well, it seems we are over the halfway mark. May 11th is getting here F.A.S.T.! I have learned a lot of things I never thought I would need to know (some of them I didn't want to know) and accomplished many of my "pre-parenthood" goals. Allow me to summarize.....

Things I Have Learned

• I am not sure about this whole sleep deprivation thing. Everyone keeps telling me how I better enjoy my sleep while I can. I believe them when they say it...I know it is true...yet I am not allowing myself to actually accept it as truth.
• For something so small, babies sure do need a lot of space.
• I now know how to put together a crib---I got (Mae's, Margaret's, Maisie's, Maggie's) crib put together last week.

Accomplished Goals

• I have painted the baby's room. (I painted it a nice bright pink! Something she will always know her daddy did for her)-------Just kidding....it is just a light beige color.
• I already mentioned this above, but it counts here too---I put her crib together.
• We have been making a lot of room in closets and attic space by making several Goodwill trips. Getting rid of all of my VHS tapes was easier than originally expected.

The most exciting thing I could possibly mention is that I can feel the baby move now more than ever! Just about any time I put my hand on "The Belly," I feel the baby!! It is really neat!
