Counting the weeks, and matching the outfits...

Improvements keep on coming. Around Christmas, in a fit of frustration, I threw our Ikea bed into the dumpster, sadly though, if one is 6 months pregnant, one doesn't want to have to clamber up from the floor to get out of bed! Thankfully, Ryan and Susie gave up a nice basic little frame to put the mattress on, so now we have an adult bedroom again: a bed off of the floor and a cradle.

The baby, by the way, is doing all sorts of crazy movements. I cannot even guess what's she's up to in there. I imagine that one day everyone will have a little sonogram thingy in their home so we'd be able to peek whenever we want to, now though, just feeling and wondering. It is very eerie how close below the skin she seems to be! And she seems to be running out of room. I can't imagine she'll be comfortable in there for 8 more weeks!

On another exciting note, though we continue to accumulate clothing (thanks, Susie!), it's only a week or so until our official shower! I can't wait to see what the little girl gets! It's all just so cute! And so far we have succeeded in avoiding plastic things and logo/comic character/branded items (how bohemian...). I'm sure that we'll get a few cute ones (do they make Tintin baby clothes?) and it's really just exciting to see everything... Only 8 weeks until they get a baby to go inside them!
