They're kicking!

I just felt my first legitimate kick! WOW...by chance I was resting my hand on my belly and someone gave it a little kick. I've been feeling lots of movement over the last few days but just moving around inside, no real flailing of arms and legs. I guess it's just a matter of time now! What an exciting feeling - I love knowing that they are moving in there; nice peace of mind. It's a milestone day!

Well, the nursery painting is still not finished. Our painter is totally booked with outdoor work so we're on the "rainy day" list. Well, just my luck that we're in a draught. They are working on our master bath as well as the nursery so our house is a total disaster at the moment. There is stuff everywhere since two of our rooms are out of commission. You know me, I hate clutter and things out of order. So, I put some pressure on the painter yesterday since they have been there 2 different times already but haven't finished; I think I guilted him a bit and he called last night and said they would be there Saturday morning at 8am to finish up. YAY! So, we'll keep our fingers crossed that by this time tomorrow, things will be shaping up. Our living room looks like a make shift nursery with all of the bedding strewn about, the changing table is in the middle of the room with the rug and small side table. We're having company for dinner tomorrow night so I'll be scrambling all afternoon to get things shuffled out of sight.

I've been toying with what to do for C. for Fathers Day. He has told me that he didn't want anything this year because it's not "real" yet. And with his superstitious nature, he would rather wait until the boys are born to celebrate this day, as a gift might "jinx" something. I know it's going to be a bittersweet day for him - he misses his own Dad so much. And faced with being a Father himself soon, without his Dad here to see his sons, must be hard. Top it off with the fact that Fathers Day this year lands on his Dad's birthday. He always handles these things in stride but I just can't imagine what will be going through his head that day. I just can't wait to see him as a Dad. He's going to be amazing - of course, he had a wonderful teacher. We just wish so much that Joe could be here to meet the boys; and they could get to know him back.

We'll look forward to next Fathers Day with great anticipation. These boys will surely love their Daddy to pieces.
