Movement and Preparation

This week has been full of excitement. First of all, I have been feeling Jackson squirm and move all over the place, but the most exciting part is that for the first time Aaron has been able to put his hand on my belly and feel Jackson too.

We have also spent the past couple of weeks making the rounds at the baby stores and trying to figure out about furniture, bedding, and everything else that we will need to get for Jackson. We picked out the bedding that we liked and are trying to pick out paint colors so that Aaron can start on painting the nursery. The bedding is a dark red, kaki, and lite moss green quilt pattern with little boats spread over the quilt. While it's not your basic navy, baby blue, and white, we think that it is more us. If you're interested you can look at it online at Babys R'US, search "Nautica Quinten crib bedding".

The other adventure we had this week was going to Build-a-Bear Workshop for the first time. At our last doctor's appointment, we recorded Jackson's heartbeat, then we took it and made a little stuffed dog for Jackson. Since Aaron and I had never been to Build-a-Bear we didn't what a production it was just to make a stuffed animal, but now we know why kids love it so much!

For those of you that don't get to see us that ofter here is a picture of what I'm looking like during week 23. We have been taking a weekly "belly" picture for a book that I'm putting together called "The Belly Book", it has been fun to watch how I have been growing over the weeks and I'm sure it will be fun to look back after November.
