4 Months!

It's hard to believe I've been pregnant for 4 months now and have started my 5th month. This month has definitely been better than the last few. I'm still tired and not sleeping completely well, but I'm not constantly exhausted. I've been doing a lot around the house to prepare for the arrival of a new baby. I know I still have 5 months but it's going to go by fast. I also want to do as much as possible now while I actually have the energy and desire to do it. I don't think I'll be wanting to do as much come October. Besides, once I have my shower I'll have plenty to do with all the goodies I'll have! My mom is coming to visit next weekend and is bringing a few bags of stuff with her. I'll get everything she brings washed and put away in August. I've done so much already but there's still so much left to do! It's a little crazy which is why I've been doing what I can now.

I started feeling the baby move recently. It's amazing! Right now it's just flutters but I've learned to distinguish it from other feelings and it's wonderful to know my baby is in there moving around. I've been told that this is the month I will start to feel some actual kicking. That's so exciting and I can't wait!! I also find out the sex next week. So many exciting and wonderful things are happening and it's definitely becoming more and more real to me that in 5 short months I'm going to be a mommy!
