Well hello there, little kangaroo!

Tonight was Griff's first night in his big boy bed! I couldn't decide when to start putting him in there....we still have about 4 months till this little nugget arrives but I knew I wanted to before then just because. Our master bedroom is HUGE and a pack n play won't fit in there so he/she will be sleeping in the crib (or if they are like Griff, a swing in their bedroom) after their born, so he is getting evicted.

Anyway, I have procrastinated this week with work and had a ton of assignments to grade tonight. We decided to put a baby gate up so Griff couldn't escape. It turned out that he can't even open the door with the baby gate there so he just stood there knocking politely for a while saying, "Mommy! Open it, mommy."

Cuteness! So I opened it and snuggled with him for a bit while Andrew put in the video monitor just for fun. Then I put him back in the bed and he whispered night night and we left.

Then we came out into the living room and watched the monitor while he stood on the bedside table...wandered around his huge bed...etc.

Meanwhile, I didn't grade anything.

When he finally went to sleep, I started working. Good, right?

It was until this little jumping bean started kicking like a champ. He/she hasn't been kicking much lately which honestly has been freaking me out. Like waking up in the middle of the night wondering if something was wrong and movin around trying to get him/her to kick so I could calm down and go back to sleep...paranoia.

So, I was happy that the kicks started back up again. AAAAND...for the first time we could see my stomach jump with the kicks! Andrew got to see it and we both felt some good strong ones which is just magical. I LOVE it! Cutest kicks in the world!

So, then in lieu of working I stared at my stomach waiting for more kicks and getting all excited whenever my stomach moved.

Then I buckled down and worked.

Procrastinator. This child is already distracting me from my work! I was not planning on taking any time off when they were born but if they are this cute and distracting in the womb....I may have to :)
