The past few days I have been feeling what I think is the baby movement. It started at 21w1d and has been kind of off-and-on. Some felt like gurgling, some felt like muscle spasms, and some felt like gas. I am not sure if it is the baby moving around in there, but I am choosing to believe it is.
I went nursery shopping with my mother-in-law this weekend too. I know it is still a little early, but I am nothing if not a planner. We went to a bunch of stores in the Chicago suburbs, and though we didn’t find anything to buy that day I did make a decision later after doing a little on-line shopping too. I found a modern-looking crib that I just ordered (along with a mattress) and I’ll head back to Babies R Us before too long to make an armoire purchase. My mom will stain the changing table to match and then we’ll be in business. Maybe next week (when I only have two days of cooking planned) I’ll head out to Babies R Us and register too. I am not sure how many showers I’ll have – maybe just one with my girlfriends here after a surprise shower over the holidays at my aunt’s house. I thought my mother-in-law’s friends might also throw one, but maybe not – I haven’t heard a peep yet.
I’ve somehow come down with another nasty cold and didn’t sleep much last night. And there’s lots to do around the house to get cleaned up and caught up after the holidays. Good thing I had today free to take care of all of it.
Oooh, movement, very exciting! 21 weeks sounds about right. It’s definitely easily mistakable for gas, etc. at first. But I bet movement is what it is. He’s really in there!!
