Excitement is really setting in!

I can genuinely say that these days I'm really excited to meet Ms. Aubrey Belle. Now that her nursery is painted and there's some furniture in there, crib included, the reality of her arrival is setting in. When I got home in the morning a few days ago I walked by her room quickly and glanced at the crib and thought to myself "Wow, soon when I walk by this room there will be a baby in there!". I can't help but feel dumbfounded and amazed by this.

I think the other part that adds to the excitement is being able to feel her moving around so much. It's just really fun to have my hand on Kristina's belly and feel Aubrey moving, kicking and whatever else she's doing in there - and this can all last for a while too. Aubrey's too funny because it's like she knows when we're trying to catch all this movement on film because she stops as soon as we hit that button on the camera. :) Little rascal! The other funny thing is like this morning she was moving around, and I started talking to her - and she stopped moving. These little things are just personality elements that are making her seem more real as we get closer to welcoming her to the world.

Everything continues to go well with the pregnancy though and we are so incredibly thankful for that. Kristina has one more 2 week gap between appointments, and after the next visit they will become weekly!

The only issue if we can complain about anything is Kristina's sciatica pain. I feel so bad for her when it flares up because she's really hurting, and there's not a whole lot to do about it.
