A Good Surprise and a Project

I went on my Ovia Pregnancy App this morning to see what information it had for me today. And here's what it told me, "Your baby can probably hear your heartbeat, and maybe even your voice." I almost cried. I didn't realize it, but one of the milestones I'd been thinking of in the back of my mind was getting to the point where my baby could hear me talking and singing. I sent the information to Dan immediately and told him we needed to start talking to baby! He agreed and shared his love for me in the moment. Other milestones include knowing the sex of the baby and feeling the baby kick. 

On another note, one of my coworkers came over to me today to ask about potential time frame for the baby shower she and my coworkers want to throw for me. It was so sweet that she immediately starting thinking of that when I told her I was pregnant. And it's fun to imagine a celebration with these people I share so much of my life with.

Last thing for now in this otherwise shorter-than-normal blog: My in-laws and my parents are going to help Dan and I with cleaning up and cleaning out some of our storage unit this weekend. We are going to go through things, hopefully purge some, and then also work to rearrange things so that we can get our front bedroom set into the storage unit and then can more readily set up the front bedroom as our nursery. A huge project, that feels insurmountable at the moment, is for us to get the carpets taken up so we can put down laminate flooring everywhere. We also want to change out the bathroom flooring as well. Having parents willing to help (both my mom and Dan's dad offered separately) with the storage unit is something I feel very grateful for. One thing at a time!
