Signs

The last few days I've been feeling Georgia Lou pressing up in my rib area. I think this is by far the strangest thing I've ever felt. I guess because you always hear people say you felt the baby "kick" that I only expected to feel little thumps and pokes here and there. But this feels almost like there is a bug or something crawling on my ribs... from the inside? Its so strange.

I also feel like my belly has grown a lot in the last week or so. Suddenly people around my office building are noticing that I'm pregnant. I think until now its been hard to tell if I'm pregnant or just putting on a little weight. I'm glad that they now know for sure.

Yesterday, I finished painting a sign with letters spelling "Georgia Lou" to hang on her wall. I added some flowers on either side of her name to match the bedding that we're using in her nursery. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. We will be hanging over the door to her room.

I'm having a "Girls Night" with a group of ladies in the Auburn area tonight. We're having dinner and then going to "Sips n Strokes." I've never been but apparently ladies get together and drink wine and paint. So, I'm going to bring myself some grape juice and a wine glass so I'll fit in. There's an instructor and everyone does a similar style painting but you choose your own color scheme. I'll be choosing colors that will match Georgia Lou's room so I can put it in her nursery. I'm excited! I'll post a picture of how it turns out.
