Week 29 and we're feeling fine! Well, actually, we've thrown up several times this week and you're both super kicky and then I won't be able to feel you, when you hide behind our placenta and it freaks me out. The countdown is so real, as we bid adieu to the double-digit weeks. 11 Weeks until you and less than 80 days left in this part of our journey together--it's heady and surreal. I find myself getting teary, when I think about how much more technicolor life is going to get, with you.
This past weekend we started your nursery: Your daddy made your crib, built your dresser/changing station, put all of your shelves together--and it's already the happiest room in the world. And, every day, we add something new: A mobile, your Lovevery Playmat, animal hook, blankets, sheets, shelves...each one marking your nearing arrival. This week, your primitive memory is beginning to develop so you'll start retaining the music and voices you hear, red blood cells are forming in your bone marrow, and you can differentiate between light and dark. As all of these parts of you continue to develop, I can't help but think about who you'll be when you arrive earthside. This is the first week of Spring and, like the birds song, you are ever present and full of promise. My belly is full of tulips and beginnings. They will grow, like weeds, alongside you until you are ready to make your entrance.
