I just love feeling Baby kick. Sometimes I can put my hand on my stomach and feel his or her little body parts sliding across my skin. I am so thankful that we are able to have had this baby with us as a part of our family for six and a half months already.

Mr. ABC123 has been really busy lately and we haven't seen much of each other this week. I can't wait until we have a little more time together. I'm taking a personal day from work on Monday to get my glucose and liver function tests done, and I'm hoping that after the tests are done we'll have a little time to reconnect. We haven't even been able to have storytime with Baby, like we try to do each night. I know it's silly, but it makes me sad to miss out on that family time together--it may not make much of a difference to the baby, but he and I get to appreciate the fact that we're building traditions with our baby, and that is very meaningful to me.

We are officially moving in less than a month! I just need it to be over, really. We have seven school days left--which means I have that many days to finish packing up an entire classroom, doing final grades, cumulative folders, end of year awards, and INVENTORY (yep, we literally have to count paperclips). It's a beast. Then, I come home at night and try to pack up my house and make phone calls to contact doctors and storage units.

I hate to feel like the pregnancy is going by in a flurry of activity. I know I really can't buy anything for the baby, but the nesting instinct is starting to kick in, and I may choke someone if I don't get to set up the baby's nursery soon. I NEED to have a place for my baby. I actually have some baby shower gifts now and I want to take them out of their bags and set them up! I have another shower coming up thrown by my out of town family on June 18th--if I have to leave them in a box somewhere, someone may find out just how strong my nesting instinct has become.

Heads might roll.
