I thought I didn't have much to say...

Nothing really to report this week. Although I do notice that I feel like crap at least one day out of every weekend. I think it might be because I do too much during the week and my body is trying to catch up. Thankfully, basketball season is over on Tuesday and I won't have to be getting up at 5:30, or staying late and not getting home till 11. I'm very excited about not having to coach softball this year. It wouldn't have been a good idea for me to be out in the crappy weather that defines softball season, and I am just ready for my sports to be over. Volleyball was fun, but it makes for a looooong first semester.
I'm really loving my baby bump. I'm 22 weeks today and its not too big right now, but its definitely there. I like wearing cute t's that show it off. A lot of the maternity shirts are not meant for that, and they just make the bump look like its bigger than it really is, so I just find tshirts at target and buy them in a large. They are too cute. I still get annoyed by people trying to touch me, but I think everyone has gotten the idea. The only person that I'll let touch my tummy is Austin. I love love love when he touches it. Maybe the baby will start recognizing his touch and react to it. He could be reacting to it now, but I still can't really tell when the baby moves. I'm so ready to feel that.
I think we have decided on a theme for the baby's room. Its kinda cliche, but I think its so cute. Its going to be a jungle theme with an emphasis on monkeys. I love monkeys and have given Austin stuffed monkeys as gifts throughout our relationship, so I think its a perfect theme. I really like the blue color that my mother-in-law painted one of her rooms in her house, but I think I'm going to go with a pretty green color for the walls of our nursery. Without going way over the top, I don't think you can get away from cliche for a baby's room. Yay for monkeys!
I'm starting to get worried about what's going to happen when the baby comes. What do I do with him? Will I know how to take care of him? All those questions that first moms have. Next week when I go to the doctor, I will ask about prenatal classes and I'm hoping that most of my questions will be answered there.
