Half Way There !!

So it’s official…Giselle and I have made it half way! This is truly something worth celebrating…which we did by shopping for her nursery! Mom came over Friday (she played hooky - love when she does that!) and we went to Pottery Barn Kids and got Giselle’s bed sheet, an adorable blanket and some other goodies. And then we painted her room.

Thank God for my Mom! Jason doesn’t paint, he’ll do almost anything around the house but painting is most definitely not his forte. So Mom came over and prepped the room and did the top of the walls, while Giselle and I scooted along the bottom on my rear and got the bottoms. Everything met in the middle and it turned out perfect. I love the color, I describe it Spring Green however if you are familiar with Pottery Barn Kids then you will also know it as Pottery Barn Kid’s Green.

After we went to Bergstroms and guess what? – They were having a sale….oooh lala. So I bought her bassinet. And then I got up this morning and stared at it and thought “wow this little butterfly in my tummy is going to be sleeping in here in less than 5 months”. C-R-A-Z-Y.

Giselle is fluttering around often these days and is starting to give me stronger kicks and jabs. Ones that I’m sure will turn into “Owws” but for now are simply “Awws”. Jason is very jealous he can’t feel her yet so I’m hoping soon he will get to feel a foot or elbow to the palm of his hand. She must be growing too because my belly is definitely “out there”.

Speaking of Daddy’s hand...how cute is this poem that I am giving Jason for Father’s Day this year (no I did not write it):

Daddy, Take my hand in yours and you will plainly see,
How very much I need you now to love and care for me.
As my little hand grows, I will need you even more,
Everything I do in life, I have never done before.
Teach me to be kind and loving, sharing and forgiving,
Show me through your acts of love the pure joy of living.
The years will pass by quickly and one day I will be grown,
I will pass what you have taught me onto children of my own.
Hold me always in your thoughts and remember when we are apart,
The special love between a child and a daddy's heart.
