29-30 June, 2014: Definitely feeling the baby really wiggling and moving around in there for the first time!! I had Joe put his ear up to my tummy to listen, who said it just sounded like a whole bunch of bubbles (hehe!). At 18 weeks (28 June- 4 July), the baby is big enough to hold in the palm of my hand (6").

| This cradle was given to us by a neighbor when we lived in Cheyenne, WY. I sanded, and then stained it a dark color to match other furniture in the house. |

| Baby bump photo at 16 weeks. I feel like the baby is having some kind of growth spurt this week. It's definitely getting harder to bend over, as well as sit without having to slouch :-) |

| Finished knitted baby blanket. Love the heaviness of this yarn! |

| Staining wood for kitten shelves/perches in baby's room. We want Sophia and Finnegan to be able to view the new baby from a safe distance, as well as make them feel like they are still part of the family. AND... Siberian cats LOVE climbing! |
 |
| Carpeted & stained shelves. Sophia loves them already! |
 |
| Now we just need to hang them! |
