flutter, flutter, thump!

woke up at 5 a.m. for a run to the latrine & when i laid back down there it was...flutter, flutter, thump....flutter, flutter, flutter, poke! like my baby was saying good morning, mommy. this is the first time i've ever felt the baby move and it is awesome...i'm sure if i would have stayed still once in a while in the last week i would have felt it, but there has been no time for still at my house.

phil called this morning and he finished the nursery floor for us...couple boards that needed cut lengthwise that he had to do and lay..god bless him for all of his help. dad is sitting down tomorrow with us (god bless him & his knowledge, too) and our seller so we can draw up a contract & get it sent in...then the biggest hurdle left is the appraisal..please pray it passes with no trouble so we can get this house closed & move in.

packing mike today for nyr...washer/dryer are chugging along to get his laundry clean so he can be ready to go...i'm trying to immerse myself in whatever i can so i don't think about how sad i am that i'm staying behind.

alright...off to waterproof spray mike's boots...

Isn't that the most exciting thing?! I remember how great it was. Jared could never understand how awesome it was. I told him if he carried a baby for 9 months he would be able to understand. Also when the boys got the hiccups he didn't know how I could tell the difference between hiccups and kicks. I again said if you carried this baby for 9 months you would be able to tell the difference.
