22 Weeks- Baby's Room is Starting to Come Togther

22 weeks! We are more than half way there! Baby girl is definitely getting more wiggly as each week passes by!
Grandpa sent Baby Girl a nice rocking chair that I am sure will be put to very good use!
Justin drew and colored these picture for the baby! I think he did an amazing job and I am so proud of him for all his hard work.  We bought some frames and now they are artwork for the baby's room! All the animals are Australian animals, a wombat, possums, and sea turtles.  We need to teach the baby about Australia!

This week we decided to start working on the baby's room. We made the trip to Ikea to buy some furniture. We found out that cribs won't be sold there until October because of safety standards.  I guess each year they make sure all the cribs are up to the right safety standards. We were a bit bummed because we were excited to get a crib! We did find a dresser/changing table and when we went to go pick it up it was out of stock! But no worries, because we found plenty of other things and Justin got to eat Swedish meatballs which is his favourite when we are there. We will just go back in a few months to get everything else. 

One exciting thing that happened this week was that baby girl moved and Justin was able to feel her when he touched my stomach.  He was really excited! I was happy he finally got to feel her moving around.  She is growing strong and is continuing to move around quite a bit.  Work is slowing getting a bit more tiring.  I just can't move around like I used too.  Transfers with patients are a bit harder, getting on and off the mats is challenging, and getting up off the floor after helping with shoes/socks is becoming a chore.  I have a feeling in a few months I will be needing to take the easier patients! Or I might end up needing a therapist!  That is about it from here.  Next Saturday is our all day class at the hospital!
