Nursery In Progress
So the nursery is slowly beginning to take shape... It was painted 2 weeks ago, the crib was put together last week, the new white velvet West Elm panels came and are up on the windows and now I have put up the wall decal... Freddie is worried the baby is going to be able to peel the decals off, but we'll cross that bridge when/if we need to... I think it came out quite nice and I am pleased with it... The crib is naked since I still cannot decide on which bedding theme to purchase. Damn the endless possibilities! As the room comes together I think I'll have a better idea of color and style of the bedding that will match. I don't want to just buy blue for the sake of conforming to the norm for a baby boy... I also managed to find a white tiger doll online. Freddie had bought the regular orange colored tiger a few months ago, but I was on the hunt for a white tiger since it is after all the year of the white tiger and not just a regular tiger... When I finally found it online, the first two stores didn't have it in stock... I finally found it at some random gift shop that had an online store and ordered two... One for us and one for Freddie's co-worker who is having a baby only a few weeks before us... He has been a good companion and go to person for Freddie through the pregnancy. It sounds as though he is very knowledgeable on the process and has educated Freddie in many ways so I am grateful!
So another exciting thing happened today... I actually saw one of his limbs (I'm assuming an elbow) protruding out of my belly! It was an unusual sensation different from the regular movements I've felt over the past few months... This felt like something was being pushed out so I put my hand on my belly and sure enough I felt it... It was hard and he didn't pull back immediately. When I finally pushed back, he retreated, but a short while later he pushed again... When I felt it for a second time I grabbed Freddie's hand and put it on my belly... He actually flinched, pulled his hand back and yelled! He was like OMG WTF was that!? I think he was actually scared! hahaha~ It was like a scene from Aliens... Anyway, we were on our way to dinner and I stuffed my face with Indian food and after that, the monster must have gone into a food coma cuz I didn't feel him anymore... Throughout dinner Freddie was staring at me so finally I asked why he was watching me... He said he was amazed at the amount of food I was consuming. He asked if I was full and I said no. He asked if I was eating so much cuz I was being greedy or cuz I was genuinely not full yet... I told him I wasn't full yet and proceeded to finish off each of the dishes on the table... Usually I just order an entree and I'm good. However today I ordered an appetizer, an entree, a basket of naan (which I normally never order or even eat even if Freddie orders it), a filling drink and had some of Freddie's entree... Sadly, when I left, I was satisfied, but not stuffed. I think I am amazing myself too... I can't believe I am physically capable of consuming the quantity of food I have been lately... I shudder at the thought of the pain and suffering I will have to go through to lose all of this weight this summer... Dear god, please be nice!!!
