My crazy little cantaloupe

Am I really 6 months pregnant? This is getting real. I mean, it has been very real since the day I took the test, then it got more real when we saw[and then heard] the heartbeat, and oh man then there was the ultra sound. Every single step it seems to get just a little more real. Now I know we are having a daughter named Claire, who likes to kick and enjoys spicy food and bath time. My belly is expanding and customers/strangers just adore commenting on it. It doesn't really bother me until they use the word huge, or "I think this is happening really quickly for you" Oh you do? Hmm 6 months doesn't seem like the perfect time to be showing that there is a child growing inside of you? Alright. 
Ok enough of that rant I guess I needed to get it out haha.

This past week hasn't been very eventful belly wise but we did do a lot of things! Saw Jurassic Park in 3D I am hoping that Claire loves dinos because they're already filling her nursery, she did kick a lot throughout the movie so maybe that is a good sign. I also saw Evil Dead which was FANTASTIC I cannot recommend that movie enough. If you want to see someone chain saw someone else in half WHILE the sky is raining blood then this is the film for you! Claire isn't even scared! Since I can't say the same for Ryan I went and saw it with Shannon and Shaun and we all loved it.

THE NURSERY

We set aside a block of time and got it going! We moved around the furniture, hung up a few things and got all of the clothes either hung up or organized in the dresser. I am really happy with how it is turning out. It feels really cozy in there and I hope that Claire enjoys it. While sitting in the middle of the room surrounded by her little clothes and all the cute shoes I just could not wrap my head around how something so tiny can already have so many things haha. We have the basics down I think so no more buying things until we get closer and once we have our showers and I can decide what fundamentals we really really need. My mom just sent out the baby shower invites for the one she will be throwing in SCV and I could not be more excited, she is having it at La Cocina like we did my bridal shower, yuuuummmmmyyyyy!

I have to say that cravings aren't really what I thought they would be, I was hoping for the kind where I wake up  in the middle of the night and MUST HAVE DONUTS like my mom had. I thought that sounded fun and Ryan was excited to be able to take care of those for me. Mine are like hmm this sounds really yum lets make it happen. I think I am just going to create some crazy ones just for the fun of it. Great ready babe :)

Hi sweet baby girl, you are getting so big! This week you were kicking up a storm, they seem a little different though. They don't feel like jabs as much, I think you might also be rolling around in there and just having a ball. I hope you are feeling good and getting big. Your dad and I are setting up a 4D ultrasound because we just love to see you and we found a place that will let us watch you for awhile and then we even get to take home a dvd of you playing around in your home. This week we got most of your room arranged, clothes all washed and folded. We have talked about you so much, we have decided that you will probably be really good at sharing. You are a little person to us already and we think about you non stop, thank you for making us parents.
love you Claire xo
