The Nursery and More Movement

The past couple of days I have really been feeling the baby move around. Its an undeniable sensation now. I was lying in bed today and I had my hand on my stomach and right when I felt him kick from the inside I also felt the thump on my hand. I have to say that is the weirdest thing I have ever felt. It made me bust out laughing. It happened 5 or 6 times within a few minutes. I called Tim into the room and he was able to feel it too. This pregnancy is really starting to get fun. I spent so much time at the beginning filled with worry and doubt that now its such a relief to just enjoy it.

I'm almost embarassed to say that they nursery is almost complete. It didn't take nearly as much time as I thought it would. Tim really got down to business the last couple of weeks and got most of the work done. There are only a few minor details left to add, but the majority of the work is done. I think this is going to be my new favorite room in the house.

Updates

I haven't written anything in my pregnancy journal in over a month so I figured it was time to get up to date on everything. This past month has been interesting. About 3 weeks ago I had a bad fall at work. I slipped in some water in the hallway. I had to go to the ER to make sure that me and the baby were both ok. I really didn't think I had done any damage, but I found out that my placenta partially tore away from the wall of my uterus. Its called an abruption, full abruptions can cause fetal death, but thankfully mine was only about 3 centimeters. I spent the night in L&D and got a couple ultrasounds done, but so far there doesn't seem to be any further complications because of the fall or the abruption. We also had our 20 week ultrasound a little over a week ago. Everything looked great. No abnormalities or anomalies were detected, which is great news. We also got a 2nd confirmation that we are definitely having a little boy.

I've also started feeling some small movement this week. Its a very strange sensation, but I love it. It lets me know that Lincoln is happy and healthy inside his incubator. I can't wait until the movement gets stronger.
