We have just so much to be thankful for! What a week! After I felt and saw Isabella's antics on Sunday, Monday night Alex and I got home after the club closed and we lay in bed with the TV on low, low volume. He rested his hand on my belly. She had been active all day ("Aren't you tired from being up all night??" I said to her!) and I wasn't sure if she would continue that night. But after a few minutes, bump! A little pop erupted just below Alex's fingers. My eyes got wide and I whispered, "Did you feel it?!" He nodded, concentrating. Her kicks were not as forceful as the night before but they were there and she was positioned correctly. We stayed this way for a little while, and he felt her a couple more times. Yay!! She got tired a little more quickly this time though, and retired to the back of my body to hide. She has yet to punch me hard enough at the right time for Alex to see her.
Then on Tuesday, we got news from the realtor handling the apartment we recently found and applied for: We got it! In the middle of the afternoon, while we were out registering for baby stuff, I got an email. The staff at the store told us congratulations because as we were turning in our registry form, I blurted out, "WE GOT IT!" sort of loudly as I skimmed the email message on my phone.
It's a fairly spacious two bedroom, one bath, in a secured building with a covered parking stall. The kitchen and bath are pretty small, but it does have a lanai that runs the length of the unit. It's not luxurious but it's big enough for us to grow as a family, Isabella will have her own room, it's in good shape, and it's all for a reasonable price.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and it's not as if we didn't already have a million things to be thankful for especially this year, but so many great things in one week is almost too good to be true!
