Updates:
Chase has had hiccups twice now, the first time I was not sure what it was (it honestly feels like rhythmic gentle kicks) The second time I suspected them I asked my hubby to feel and he confirmed it had to be hiccups. Which is awesome because I have been waiting to know what they feel like. =)
It feels like Chase is moving non stop now and I keep reminding myself to cherish each movement, even the painful ones, as I know I will miss them once he arrives and I have to share him with the rest of the world. I have found my own little way of communicating with him! If I tap the tune of jingle bells on my tummy he'll answer back with a kick. =) It works I promise!
My sweet husband has been working really hard and so have I readying Chase's room and the house for the upcoming holidays, visitors and of course Chase's homecoming. I have become a special breed of clean freak though, as I feel that I am the only person that can organize or clean things correctly and thoroughly. (which is ridiculous, but I can't be blamed as I still have pregnant-mind and massive anxiety from the long wait for Chase to come, so I am excused )
We have started to wash some baby clothes and separate them out by sizes. We are putting a shelf in his room this week. We also put the play pen together (just to see what it looked like). We also went to birth class this week. It was very cool. There are about 8 couples in total and they were all very nice. However I must say we were the smarties there! Although I think our teacher thought we were pretty young =)
I am also looking into going to a breastfeeding group next week. Its something that is important to me and I have really tried to read and research about. So I will be sure and share how that goes next week!
In other news.....
Erik and I have spent as much time together as possible. We really cherish the "just the two of us" moments. We do chores, take walks, cook, read and of course snuggle. I would love to add 'talking' to this list but we really don't have long long conversations about the approaching event of having a child. Its starting to sink in that things will never be the same, we are about to adopt the new titles of Mom and Dad! We are both taking this education into parenthood in as individuals, letting it soak into our minds and then we perhaps mention our conclusions to each other only to find we feel exactly the same way. I am very lucky that I have the partner that I do. Its sort of scary how well we understand each other. I think we'll make a great parenting team.
