What a week it's been! Jay got home from Afghanistan Tuesday evening, and it was a wonderful ending to our 14 months of separation. Since then we've been getting back to our normal life and getting Jay adjusted to the new eating patterns, sleeping positions and constant burping that come along with my pregnancy! Oscar is smitten with Jay being home, and cannot get enough of him!
It's been a productive week for baby though! My friends Val and Lauren dropped off a TON of maternity clothes for me to borrow, which has been great! It's nice to have stuff to wear that's comfortable and supports my little belly. Val also let us borrow her bassinet, a swing, a Bumbo seat (my personal fave and source of much debate in our house) and also had some extra size 1 diapers. We are racking up on the diapers, and are super excited about it! We purchased a crib yesterday as well! It will probably stay in the box until we move, because as of now we may be leaving Germany as early as February! The baby will still be in the bassinet, and we can ship the crib in the box to avoid any lost or damaged parts. I also got in my diaper bag (thanks Mom!) and maternity clothes I ordered from Old Navy.
Baby is also doing lots of moving around, sometimes I can even see it! Jay hasn't felt it yet, but it's nice to have someone else here to rub my belly besides me! It's fun to feel these tiny little somersaults in my belly, usually more after I eat. Belly is slowly growing, and we can't wait for our doctor's appointment on Friday!
