New Development: Kicking!!

The newest and most exciting development in my pregnancy right now is feeling those kicks and movements in my belly! I started feeling them around 16-17 weeks, and it has gotten stronger and more frequent everyday since then. Now it happens all the time and Jono is even able to feel them when he puts his hand on my belly. This was so surprising to me because I just had NO idea that it happened this early. Makes me wonder what it will feel like in a few months! She is definitely an active one, so I am sure to feel lots of movement going on in there in the coming months.

On that note: I am almost 5 months pregnant!! Holy cow. This is starting to move fast. My belly is growing slowly but surely, but still haven't quite "popped" yet. Again, another surprise to me. For some reason, I thought pregnant people "popped" around 3 months, but I guess I was way off! I am thinking it's more like 5-6 months. I need to update with a recent belly pic--I'll be sure to take one this weekend as we head to Arkansas for Grant & Michelle's wedding weekend! So excited for a great fall weekend spent with great friends celebrating a great marriage.

Something else new right now is that yesterday we purchased our crib, changing table, and chandelier for the nursery!! Why so early, you ask? Because yesterday was the last day to use the Partner's Card, giving us an additional 20% off the already reduced sale price!! Holla! I am SO excited to start purchasing things and thinking about the future nursery. Next up: ordering the custom-made baby bedding. I found someone in Canton who will make the bedding for us and I am so excited about it! I will hopefully reveal it in a future blog post:). More to come!

Here are some pics of our crib, changing table, and chandelier:
