the view from over the belly

So...I'm tired of various parts of the condo looking like this:

 

Messy, messy, messy as random things roost on tables and counters while they wait to be packed. I did pack three more boxes today, though. Then the belly needed a rest. It seems too early in the pregnancy to need to stop and rest for the belly's sake, but it's happening. Maybe it's because my belly is HUGE!

 

This isn't even the full effect. I was leaning forward. I wonder how many little creatures are in there, anyway. Speaking of little creatures, I think I may have just felt a few kicks for the first time. Then again, maybe I just have gas... But it felt like kicks, and I haven't had that sensation yet in this pregnancy so maybe it was the real thing :). It'll be pretty great when I start feeling Number Two move around.

In addition to packing I cleaned out our chest freezer today. Slowly working on eating as much as we can of our frozen stuff before the move. Dinner tonight will also involve a few leaves from my new basil plants.

Time to sign off and get Pita from daycare. She's always a mess after playing outside all day, so she'll probably need a bath before dinner :)
