December....WHAT?

Wow, time has really flown. Today I am 30 weeks along, leaving only 10 weeks - which seems like an extremely short period of time! The baby is moving all around, especially when I eat one of my favorite fruits of the winter - clementines! He moves throughout the day but, mostly from after dinner until breakfast time - he sleeps most of the day. One day I even saw my stomach bump up from his foot - it was weird.

We had a great shower in East Aurora with the family. It was really nice to see everyone and catch up with the women in the family, and hear hilarious stories from my cousins! Now we are back and working on where everything is going to go in the apartment. We have moved the bedroom around to make room for his own little corner of the room. This weekend we purchased the rocking chair and ottomon and will set that up this week along with the swing.

With only a short period of time left I think that I am starting to get anxious about the labor. This week I had a dream the baby was born on the 12th of February (my grandmother's birthday) and a colleague of mine had a dream that it was the 19th of February the very next day - which I thought was pretty funny.

Effie is also obviously catching on to the fact that we are having a new arrival as twice on Friday night she climbed up on my stomach while I was sleeping and laid down for a long time on my stomach. For Effie this is strange behavior since she won't even sleep on your lap. After telling Jai this, this morning he says to me after getting out of the shower - I've been thinking. You can't let Effie do that anymore she might think she can do that to the baby. So, we'll see if it happens again - I doubt it but maybe. I think it will be interesting to see how she reacts to the baby - if she even notices his presence :)
