Long Weekend

I enjoyed my three day weekend. Nick had to work, but gets off for President's Day. He finished our nursery this weekend. The furniture is put together and in place, and we have the bedding in the crib (as much as we can, without having a mattress yet). We just have to hang some things on the walls, and we're totally finished. Although I don't think we'll ever be totally finished. I am enjoying this part of the pregnancy, because I can finally feel my body changing. I can't lay on my stomach anymore, which is hard for me. I always read that it would be uncomfortable, and I was like, well not for a long time. I'm not very big yet, but it is painful. And since I'm not supposed to lay on my back, my body wakes itself up. So it's getting hard to sleep. I have to sleep on my side, but my arms fall asleep really easily. Luckily I got to sleep in a little Saturday and today. I am beginning to be able to feel the baby move around a lot more now too. Nick felt her for the first time, although it's usually not that hard. I started playing music for her over the weekend. It's kind of funny that my child's not even born and already listening to an iPod. I'm going to start reading to her soon. We bought a baby doll, because we're supposed to have one for childbirth class (and also because I've read it helps dogs become accustomed to a new baby). It cries and makes different noises. Sydney couldn't really care less, but Izzy is very freaked out. She wants to sit by her and stare at her, but if we move her or she makes noise, it scares Izzy. I worry about them, especially given the amount of attention they're used to.
