mom time.

i was told that once i hit 20 weeks, i would start feeling the baby move around, and every once in awhile, on a very rare occasion, i did.

but the day before my 21 week mark, i believe that avery realized that the time he has left on the inside is now shorter than the time he has currently spent on the inside... and he decided that it would be a great idea to choreograph a dance routine in which to wow and entertain us all upon his arrival. at least that is what i hope. i feel that can be the only reason that between the hours of 12-3, avery is kick, kick, kicking away.

seriously though, it is absolutely amazing to feel him moving around in there now. and yesterday, for the first time, i could feel him kick from the outside! it is so crazy to think that something so little can kick with so much force that it can be felt just by placing your hand on your tummy.

i have also begun what i can only describe as 'nesting.' for those of you that know me well, you know that i dont do things... i am not crafty in the slightest bit, and when i see something super cute for about $20 and my sister says 'oh, we can probably do that better for about $10,' i will promptly reply that 'i dont do things,' and i would much rather spend the extra $10.

but yesterday my mom needed to stop in michaels to pick some things up... first i see the tie dye kit and decide that i absolutely need to tie dye some onesies for my child. next i see the rows and rows of yarn and make another executive decision that i will be crowned mother of the year if i can successfully make ashely his own blanket.

im such a mom.
