26 weeks!

Tinkerbell is now 1.5 to 2 pounds. Her hearing is getting better and her eyes are finally opening. How cute!!

I've been wondering lately what she's thinking when she's kicking around in my belly (if anything). Sometimes the movements are so furious and fluttery that I wonder if she's playing or if she's frustrated. Is she uncomfortable and telling me to shift positions? Is she just enjoying the fact that she has arms and legs?

I like Anna's idea of giving the belly a little jiggle to play with her. I tried that last night when I woke up for the second time to her kicking. I though jiggling her around a little might soothe her back to sleep. I fell back asleep before she did, so I don't know if it worked.

The exciting news this week is that we got our first crib. I dragged Jim to the Babies R Us in Nashua so he could test strollers. I figured we could place our order for the crib I've been scoping out to get the waiting started -- the Babies R Us in Peabody told me it would take at least 2 to 3 weeks. Yet through some stroke of luck the Nashua store had it in stock. We tossed it in the truck and brought it home and I set it up the next day.



This has been very satisfying for my nesting instinct. I got to try out my dust ruffle -- it fits! And last night I made this sheet, which also fits. I have fabric for a second sheet and then it's time to do curtains. We still have more than three months to go. I'm afraid I'm going to run out of craft projects!

Julie and Jim-Your crib is precious. I can't wait to see the room.

Anna thinks you need to add
"way more stuff" to your registry.

The crib is perfect and bedding is beautifull. You will NEVER run out of craft projects - not too worry!
