Ultimate Fighting Champion

Why am I always up so darn early in the morning? Last night I barely got any sleep because Tim insists on having the windows open at night since it is August and usually pretty warm in our house. But last night like the past few nights was actually on the chilly side. Not only that but it was also raining cats and dogs. And to top it off the train likes to go past our house at three in the morning. Oh well, I guess that means I will just have to take a nap in the middle of the day.

I've been noticing that my little guy has been kicking me a lot harder lately. I guess he is getting stronger. The other night Tim had his hand on my belly and the baby actually kicked his hand hard enough to bump it off my belly! Am I going to be giving birth to the next ultimate fighting champion? Maybe. I just hope that this new found strength doesn't keep progressing too fast while he is still living in me. I don't know if my tummy can handle that.

Last night we picked up our baby's crib from the store and treated ourselves to some fast food for a change. I think Tim was relieved he didn't have to eat my cooking for the millionth time in a row. After that Tim had fun putting the crib together. It was so cute to watch him working away and it really turned out nice. I'll put up some pictures of it later on today if I remember. Now that our living room is a living room/nursery I'm getting even more excited! All that is missing is the little baby. Well, and the other million baby things I have yet to buy. I really do feel that it's all coming along. It's still hard to believe that me and Tim are going to be parents. That our little family will have one more member soon. It is just so hard to imagine. I know I feel the kicks and jabs (how could I not) but even so it doesn't fully seem real yet. It's almost as if he is just some imaginary friend of mine that only I notice and he doesn't exist to the rest of the world. Well, except for when he is kicking at Tim's hands! But I can't wait to see how things change once he is out in the open. Once he isn't just the phantom of my tummy. Once he is his own person and we can hold him and hear him make noises. I bet it's going to be great!
