I've always thought the stork was an unbelievable and dim explanation as to where babies came from. However, since becoming pregnant I could accept that strange tale now as more realistic than the fact that a human is going to pop out of me soon... the concept is just so weird to me that sometimes I'm still in denial that I'm growing our baby and s/he will be here because I will birth it. I have seen the ultrasound photos and I feel the kicks, but it's so surreal that I can't wrap my mind around the fact. I only rationally accept that this will happen because, well, that's the way babies get here. It still just won't sink in.
Speaking of kicks: baby kicks me a lot these days and I think s/he gets the hiccups more often than I have been suspecting as well. Sometimes I'll think s/he's kicking me over and over in the same spot but lately I have begun to think these may be elbows/knees moving as baby hiccups... kind of adorable. S/he will also poke and kick me back when I prod my ever-growing belly or when I play music for him or her.
Shawn has the baby's room all cleared out and it's just about ready for paint! We're going to have a blue nursery like I had when I was a baby. I just love the calm, chill look of blue nurseries and it will coordinate really well with the rug we picked out a few weeks ago. You can check out the visual plans for the baby room on the Pinterest board I have made. It's so cute!
We'll keep you posted!

Wishing you well! The nursery should turn out adorable...love serene blue, too. :-)
I hear ya about the "weird" to think about - it's incredibly hard to get your mind around. p.s. I love the color pallet!
hugs!
I recently discovered Pinterest. Still figuring it out. But what a good idea to use it for. I have one going for my "dream house." But yeah, I still don't get it.
I love your bump picture and I agree...I really can't believe the whole miracle of birth thing. It's pretty crazy. What's crazy is, animals do it like it's "no big thing."
Oh my goodness you look radiant. Absolutely beautiful!
You are the most adorable momma EVER! You are absolutely glowing. I can't wait to meet your little one and become aunt Jamie :)
XOXO,
Jamie

How exciting that you're just about ready to paint the nursery! You look more and more beautiful all the time, too! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment on my blog yesterday. You made an excellent point, and I'm planning to do a whole separate post discussing the "taking over" vs. "changing" your life concept of having a baby.
@Lissa (Bellenza), thank you! We'll post pictures after we paint!
@Kim!thanks!
@JustMe, Pinterest and I have a love/hate thing.
I wish humans could take more of an animal-mentality when it comes to pregnancy/birth!
@Stacie thank you so much!
@Jamie, thank you! I get my looks from my twin ;o)
@Lissa (Bellenza)
@Heather thank you so much. I am so glad my comment came across how I hoped. When I was struggling with when to have a baby I realized I was framing it as a life takeover and that was scared me. Finding lots of women who still make time to create has helped me immensely and I look to them for inspiration when I feel scared about the future even now. You will do what is right for you and your family, and that is all anyone could hope for, whatever that is! <3
LOVE the pinterest pics you have picked out for the nursery, that's going to look great. I can imagine giving birth must be hard to actually wrap your head around. I know i'm going to feel the exact same way.
@Laura it is so WEIRD.
I'll just try to focus on the nursery and accept the inevitable just in time to push it out.
