What a busy week!

What a busy week! I can't believe I haven't posted anything~ it's been so hard trying to find a good balance between work & school that I haven't really had any free time. Tonight I decided that I would just sit & relax for a bit rather than read.. though I know I really should.. I just feel like I could use a break since I had class tonight & didn't even get home until around 8.

So my big news for this week is....... I FELT AN OFFICIAL KICK! No more squishy movements in there. Our baby is finally big enough to make his/her presence known! I think I have a little ninja or in there from what I've felt the last couple days lol. It's pretty weird & completley awesome. I was sitting at work & I was typing away doing work when all of the sudden I felt this... knocking or tapping, on the inside of my belly! I stopped & waited for second because it felt soo weird. It had been like two or three little bumps in a row. So I sat & sat, & a few minutes later I felt it again! It was distinct & it was MY BABY ! Since than I've felt it off and on. Yesterday it was in the afternoon and tonight when I was lying on the couch I felt it a few times. I can't wait until I feel it more & more & it gets even stronger.

Also, Kevin & I decided on the bedding/theme we are using in the baby's nursery. I actually had a few different choices & I let Kevin put in the deciding vote.

We had picked out a few different ideas from a bunch I had seen on different websites, but he liked this one the best. I figured since my Mom & I would be doing the actual painting & decorating that this woule be a nice way to really include Kevin in the nursery besides just spackle & priming like he's done so far. What I like about this is that it'll work for boy or girl (which we won't know what we are having since we are leaving it a surprise!) & I can do the nursey in yellows and greens that I can leave up until the baby is older. I was kinda thinking stripes on the bottom with solid yellow on the top. We'll see what finally happens, but now that I look at this picture even more, the lavender walls work pretty nice too. I'm just afraid they'll be a little too girly if we end up with a boy.. I just know I don't want the make the entire room teddy bears so that way I can change the bedding and it won't look so out of place. I might have to get that little rug though- how cute is that??

Well, it is past my bedtime unfortunately. TGIF tomorrow b/c I don't think I can handle too much more of this week. I'm really looking forward to this weekend though because I have a long weekend! I decided that Monday after my ultra sound I would take the rest of the day off as a personal day so I can study for my history midterm (which is Thursday) and spend some time with Kevin . I haven't taken a day off from work in over a month & a personal day might be just what I need to get my sanity back .

I'll try & get back on track with my postings.. BTW, Kevin & I talked about what gave me a nervous break down in my last post & have decided to DROP IT. We are not going to agree & so we've pretty much agreed to disagree. Right now I'm just glad that he hasn't brought it up & it hasn't been an argument since that day. Thanks for the couple positive words I've gotten. I've been a lurker on everyones' blogs, I just haven't been up much for commenting- sorry! Have a good night!
