Seeing as there are only ten weeks left before Snowflake's arrival, I thought I'd start a blog to keep all of our loved ones informed. It's hard to keep in touch with everyone, especially those of you that are not in Colorado. Hopefully this will keep you up-to-date on how the pregnancy is going, how we're doing in our preparations, keep you informed on when Snowflake arrives, and provide pictures.
So far, things are going well. The baby is growing steadily and is quite the mover! I know he/she is awake when the flash dancing starts, and I can tell when he/she is sleeping when the hiccups begin. There's no down time which leads me to believe Snowflake is a bit hyper. My midwives refer to Snowflake as "busy", but Todd and I can tell that's just code for "spaz". I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It IS a combination of both of us. Maybe he/she got a double dose of ADHD.... Or maybe my uterus is a Martial Arts Academy. Either way, we're so thankful for the constant movement. It's so cool to watch a knee move from one side of my belly to the other. And, when Todd reads to Snowflake, that's when the kicking really begins! It's amazing that such a small being can recognize voices.
Our preparations are coming along slowly, but surely. We're putting in wood flooring on our top level. The carpet that came with the house was disgusting and we didn't like the idea of a child crawling around in who-knows-what. Todd is doing a great job laying in the wood. It gets frustrating making all the right cuts, especially around the vents, but it sure looks great in the end! I'm hoping we can be completely done and ready with the nursery by the end of October. We have the crib and the changing table in the garage just waiting to be assembled. We're looking forward to a visit from my parents this weekend. They're bringing a sofa bed for the office and bedding for Snowflake's room with them. It will be great to have their help.
I'm hoping I can be disciplined enough to give weekly updates. Tune in next week for more.
