I FINALLY know it's you kicking :)

This past Monday, June 13th, I was sitting on the couch with Mimi and Popi watching a movie. It was in the evening and my arms were crossed over my stomach when all of a sudden I felt you move! :)  Mimi saw my hands move and asked me if it was you that was moving? I said YES!!!  So, both Mimi and Popi put their hands on my stomach right where my rib cage meets in the middle, and they both got to feel you move!  You've been NOT STOP since then. Especially everytime I try to relax, you just move away. Either that, or you get the hiccups! :) I feel you everytime I sit down on the couch or my bed.  Not so much while I'm sitting at my desk at work or while I'm working, but I'm sure it won't be long until I can feel you move then!

Aunt Ashley and Uncle Joe are going to the hospital tomorrow morning to be induced at 5:30am. You're cousin Graham will be born tomorrow, and I can't wait to meet him either. Uncle Joe is super nervous about it, and Aunt Ashley just can't wait to meet him. You are going to have ALL these cousins close by! Oh, and your Aunt Wendy and Uncle Evan are expecting another baby due 2 months after you arrive!  All these babies. Oakes will be a Big Brother :) Aunt Wendy doesn't know the gender yet, but maybe by the time we all have our "Family Beach Vacation" in August...we will know. I hope she's having a girl, so then there will be 2 boys and 2 girls! Mimi and Popi are overjoyed about all these babies. They told Uncle Jay, not to think about having a baby right now! haha.  I Love You honey!

Memorial Day Weekend

I went to Brunswick, GA on June 27-30th to visit my good friend Jackie and her husband Benji.  They are also expecting a baby girl, Bentley Anne, who is due 6 weeks ahead of you. I was in Jackie's wedding about 2 years ago, but I've known Jackie for about 17 years.  We met when she moved here from NY and we both worked @ Baskin Robbins Ice Cream.  I had a great weekend. We got to go to the pool and catch some rays, went to dinner, saw a movie, and she got to show me around St Simon's Island, where she is a teacher at the Elementary School there. She works at a school that is right on the beach. Kind of like the Elementary School that I went to as a child. I did some shopping, and helped her put Bentley's nursery together. We also got to go to the beach!
My carpal tunnel has really started to bother me even more than before. As soon as I got back from GA, I called the Acupunturist to make an appt. I went to him 5x's before they got sooo bad, I could barely make a fist. I know that it's gotta get worse before it gets better, but geez. I'm going to postpone my last 5 visits for a little while. I've had to start taking Tylenol Arthritis. :(  
I did go with Jennifer Causby to Babies R Us to do my registry for you! I had Sooo much fun. I left there w/ 19 pages of stuff. Aunt Wendy told me some things that I need to take off of my registry, so when I'm done with it, it really won't be that long. I know I'm going to have a few baby showers, so I felt I might as well cover everything. I want to do your nursery theme as Bumblebees. I can't do your nursery until I move out of Mimi and Popi's house, which will be in March. I found us a really cute 2 bedroom condo, end unit that backs up to the marsh. Colby will love it, and I can decorate your nursery any way I want to. Just you, me, and Colby :)
