The last couple of months Nathan and I have been trying to get ready for the little guy. We completely cleaned our apartment and have been getting baby stuff from friends, family, and yard sales. We've applied for a three bedroom apartment in our complex and hopefully find out soon if we get it!!! Kevin and Mary are trying to move in to the one right next door and we are way excited about that too! Our baby will have a little cousin just his age to play with!
The baby has been kicking like crazy (usually during the night right when I try to go to sleep) and Nathan has actually been able to feel it a couple of times, although he usually stops kicking right when Nathan puts his hand on my stomach. Either he likes feeling his Daddy's hand or he is just a little turd. Nathan has sang to him a couple times since he apparently can hear things. Nathan and I will also put on music and dance around like idiots because apparently he can feel the movement (we want a dancing baby so he better get used to it).
We've had a lot of fun talking about the baby, what kind of parents we will be, what he will look like, what his little personality will be, etc. We also talk a lot about the changes we can expect when the baby comes. We went to a movie the other night and I was thinking how weird it will be when we can't just pick up and go wherever or whenever we want. Only fifteen weeks left, Yikes!
Here is Nathan's post on Facebook the day we found out about the gender, I thought it was really sweet:
