66 days to go....

The kicks really began to get strong this week. Last night I saw what I believed to be his elbow run across my stomach. It was so exciting. Every time he moved like that I tried to get Joshua to look but he missed it. I woke up for the first time from the kicking 2 nights ago. It's funny because everyone had been asking me for the weeks before if I had woken up from his kicking. I thought they were all crazy. Well I guess I was the wrong one! He kicked in the same spot for 10 minutes. I've been craving sweets alot lately. Oreo's are my weakness. I'm not working very hard to fight my temptation to eat them though. I finally started getting consistent with taking pepcid twice a day so the heartburn has subsided. I'm so grateful for that because that had to be one the worst things about the pregnancy so far. I washed all of Jackson's clothes yesterday and folded them and put them in his dresser. Joshua sat in his room with me while I did that and it was a really special moment for us. We were talking and just dreaming about what he would look like in his little outfits and picturing him playing in his room. We know the days won't be long before his what seems like a simple nursery turns into a playroom with toys scattered around. Still, it made us so happy to think about the possibilities of the fun that he would have in that room. I feel so lucky to be able to bring Jackson into this world and know what great hands he will be in. Joshua is such a fantastic partner and I can't wait to see him as a dad. He possesses so many amazing qualities that Jackson will really benefit from. Hopefully we can get a chair for his nursery soon because every time we go up to his room we lazily lie on the floor. Also that room is so hot since the air flow is no good, so we are aspiring to get a fan up there asap! We signed up for childbirth classes. Unfortunately it was a little late for us signing up so we don't start our class until July 21st! That means the class won't end until around the 18th of August. Just to remind you, that is 2 weeks before my due date. I'm pretty convinced I'll go into labor before the class is over but thankfully the last class is just for a tour of the hospital. Not that big of a deal to me, just show me to the delivery room! I guess that's all for now! Can't wait till week 32!
