I can feel the baby move quite often now.  And it sorta tickles!  And sorta feels like butterfly wings.  It is SO.COOL!!!

I think it is doing cartwheels.  Or maybe jumping jacks.  Perhaps I have a gymnast in the interior?

Slept badly last night but still need to sort the baby’s room so that they can get the bed out of there tomorrow.  So lots of books to haul around today.  And laundry to fold.  And need to figure out where the stuffed animal collection that lives on that bed is going to go.  I guess on the bed in the other spare room for now.  Some of the animals will decorate the baby’s room.

I have a rather extensive collection, actually.  The ones I know for sure that the baby is getting are: –

Charlie the dog, whom Simon calls Mr Snuggles

The moose whose name I keep forgetting, it might be Wilbur.

The two lambs the baby got for Christmas. I’ll let the baby name those!

I may use Francesca Isabella, my dragon, to decorate, but its not a good little baby lovey as it isn’t all that cuddely.  And I like having her sit on my nightstand!

And yes, I am going to be 40 in less than a month.  Does this mean I can’t have stuffed animals?

is that you forget things you knew or forget steps to things you’ve done a hundred times.  Or you’re just stupid at times!

Example.  Making meatloaf for dinner.  Almost forgot to put the mustard/ketchup sauce on the top.  I’ve made meatloaf 100000 times.

Example.  Talking at work.  R said ‘do you have blah’s email.’

I said, ‘my computer just crashed, I’ll look when it reboots.’

Computer reboots.

I say ‘ R needs blah’s phone number.’

R says ‘no email.’

I say ‘right, phone number.’

R says ‘NO EMAIL!!’

I knew she needed his email.  I just kept saying phone number for some odd reason.

So I hope the baby is enjoying my brain, since its eating it.

Oh and to answer Jodi’s question from yesterday’s comments, we don’t know yet if we’re going to find out the gender.  I really want to, Simon really doesn’t.  And maybe I’m coming around to his way of thinking.  Just don’t tell him, okay?

Totally exhausted after two days back.  Its hard to work with an extra person inside of you!

Watching SIL’s wedding video.  Very nicely done!

The baby is due in 2009.  I’ve never been able to count by nines.

See, my niece was born in 2000, so its easy to remember how old she is.  She’s the same age as the year.  Her sister was born 3 years later.  Easy peasy, I can subtract threes no problem.

But nines? YIKES!

I guess I’ll just have to remember how old it is!!
