Kicking
Hello baby,
Just wanted to touch base with you on a few things... Lately, you've been really kicking! So much, in fact, that I can sometimes see you squirming around inside of your mom's womb! What are you doing in there? I know things are probably getting pretty tight, but do you really know any better? When you were smaller, you were probably unaware of your own existence, so there's no way you could possibly "remember" an environment that was larger. I don't know. Try to remember. I'm very curious.
Right now, all you hear is the sound of your mom's heart, and maybe a little noise from your mom's intestines. I try talking to you once in a while to see if you respond. Sometimes you do, and sometimes you don't, so my experiment is almost inconclusive. So, next time I'm talking to you, can you give me some positive feedback please? Thank you.
On the home front, our nest is almost complete. The computer room has been repainted. It looks great. Our bedroom has been primed several times to cover up candle smoke damage, with two new coats of M.A.S.H. green. I feel like saluting your mom whenever I enter the room. Your room has not only been repainted, I refinished the hardwood floors for you. I know hardwood isn't ideal for you, but we know if we asked you, that you'd prefer hardwood over the carpet. It looks cooler. You'll be the envy of all your friends because you'll be the only one with hardwood floors in their bedroom. Just think how cool your Matchbox cars will roll in your room. We'll probably get a little rug for the room to match your cute bedding.
The kitchen is still in shambles, but don't worry, we kicked off a contractor to totally refinish the entire kitchen. They told us that in 6-8 weeks it should be complete. That's kinda scary, though. You're supposed to be heading out in 10 weeks... actually 9.71428571428571428571428571428571 weeks. If you look, that's a repeating number. You'll learn about those in school. Who knows, you may already know about them. Anyway, I'm a little fearful that the contractor may be late. They came out and measured the house yesterday. By Friday, they should have a redesign for us. I'll need to review the design in order to kick them off. Unfortunately, the contractor that will be designing the kitchen is on vacation next week, so if we miss the kickoff meeting, it delays the whole thing by a week. It takes the cabinets 4-6 weeks to arrive. So worst case scenario, cabinets won't get ordered until Monday, August 8. If that's the case, add six weeks to that and it puts us to September 19. Add a week to complete, and we're up to September 26. That's cutting it pretty darn close. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Your mom will be VERY angry with me if there are contractors still working on the kitchen after you're born. And darn... I wanted to paint the kitchen before you arrived too. Hopefully, we'll be able to kick off the design this Friday, which means if everything goes right, the kitchen will be done September 19. I hope you're not an early baby.
