Waves of Movement

I’ve noticed differences in the baby’s movement.  Now it feels like churning.  Like the baby’s whole body turns around.  I’ll feel a movement across my belly and see a wave go across it too.  It’s very slight but noticeable.  Kind of cool.  The baby is still kicking me on my right side but now I can swear that I feel its whole foot and sometimes leg.  It feels like a tiny foot print pushing out on my side.  It still feels the most active between 9-10pm but I feel it moving pretty much all the time now. 

Joe and I went to get our Christmas tree today.  I originally wanted to do photo Christmas cards since it’s technically the baby’s first Christmas.  However, we are really lagging behind and I don’t know if I’ll have time to do it.  I originally wanted to get the tree last week but we’ve been so busy with the car and getting the nursery/office set up, plus Joe’s work schedule we just haven’t had time.  We went to a parking lot selling trees down the street from our house but they had a poor selection at unreasonably high prices.  Their 6 foot trees were seventy five dollars and up and didn’t include the watering stand.  I wasn’t willing to pay more than fifty dollars for a Christmas tree.  We ended up going to Oregon Family trees and they had a very nice selection at super reasonable prices.  We got a 6-7 foot tree for fifty dollars which included the stand.  The tree smells amazing.  We actually feel like it’s the nicest tree we’ve ever had.  So I’m happy it worked out.  Again, it paid off to have patience, shop around and travel a little farther out of our way to get what we wanted at the price we wanted.
