Kick Count

Today I went to my 30-week Dr. appointment. That's right, in a mere 9 weeks, Miss Olivia will be arriving. That makes me a little anxious and pretty excited. Anyway, today my Dr. told me to really start doing my "kick counts" which means I have to make sure I feel at least 10 kicks within 3 hours after eating a meal. That shouldn't be a problem. Let me tell you, this girl has the kicking down! Good grief. I'm pretty sure she's laying sideways and she's been wiggling and moving like a little jitterbug. I sort of forgot what it felt like to have a little jumping bean doing happy dances in my stomach-I now remember: it feels weird and wonderful...and weird.

In other Olivia news, the twin bed (aka the grandma bed) is thisclose to being finished. It is PINK and so, so cute! I'll post pictures as soon as I can. Also, her fabric is on its way to my house and I cannot wait to see it. My mom is making all the bedding, etc. and I'm ready to put her to work!

Also, Owen LOVES to play in Olivia's crib. He drags his stool over to it, hoists himself in, and starts jumping away. One thing I love is how he refers to her bed as "Livia's bed" and her clothes as "Livia's clothes." He's going to be one sweet big brother. I can't wait to introduce him to his baby sister! Won't be long...
