Nursery!!

We have almost finished the nursery!!  Rafael painted the room last week while I was at work and we spent time putting it all together.  It isn't finished yet.  There are some pictures we have for the walls and we're going to do some flower stenciling around the frames on the wall.  It's so cute!!!  We're getting more and more anxious for her to come now that everything's ready!!

My stomach has hit a growth spurt it seems.  I feel huge!  We're now in the third trimester!!  YAY!  I can't wear my favorite pre-pregnant sweatshirt anymore as it's too snug :(  Last week we called the doctor.  I had a slight fever and for a few days after that I barely felt her move.  I was so worried.  The doctor told me to do the kick count after dinner.  I laid down on my left side and waited.  He said if I felt her 10 times in two hours than she was fine.  Well, I felt her 10 times in 20 minutes!  What a relief. I was up all night that night feeling her every minute or two.  I think she must have known the stress she put me under and was trying to make herself known!  She is kicking a lot harder now.   It's really embarrassing because it tickles so much.  Sometimes at work I will be looking at my monitor and just start laughing.  People probably wonder what is up with that girl laughing at nothing!

We went to the casino on Saturday night for my old supervisors 50th birthday party!  It was so much fun to see her.  It has been over a year we've been together.  She was like another Mom to me when I worked for her.  I miss her so much!  Rafael and I bought $40 worth of slot machine credits and lost it all in 5 minutes....grrrr.   It was a great reminder why we never go to the casino!!  I will post some 7 month photos next weekend!!
