bumpity bump! 18 weeks and maybe a boost from the wind...

well, well, welllllll, my old friend the baby bump is back! this time with a new and quite mysterious little dweller! so, i'm officially calling for all the largest and flowiest and slouchiest tops in all the land, because it's february, and i am still being forced to wear sooo manyyyy clothing layers in order to, you know, survive. ;)
however! 1. we had an almost warm day here recently, so, that was pretty neat for a hot (chilly) sec.

and 2. baby kicks have begun, for real, for real! and that right there is where the fun officially begins. so, a little someone was kicking my coffee mug as it rested in a nest of blanket/sweatshirt one day last week, and kicking so impressively that for a second i was slightly worried about some kind of extra-strength bella/renesmee situation there... before i remembered about... reality. and stuff.

also, 3. a new little nursery project has been initiated in our little housey, and i just can't even believe it! my one woman show moved my desk to the kitchen and the crib to the office on friday, because the always stubborn bee in my bonnet just could not wait for the husband, and you better believe i was accidentally passed out in maddalena's bed by 8:30 that night, buuuut i digress...
and hey! now, we juuuust need a gender! countdown: two weeks. yaaaay!
