Happenings.

No big events in the Reeder household lately, so I thought I'd just catch y'all up on some of the latest in Baby Reeder happenings:

- We have a pediatrician! As of last Friday, we are "in the books" at Montgomery Pediatrics. Yes, this was my doctor's office when I was a child...go figure. Since I'm so familiar with the office, procedures, and even our doctor (though different from my own as a child), we get to forego the awkward meet n' greet as well!

- We've finally revisited the nursery this week, after a several-weeks-long decorating hiatus. A lovely ceiling light was installed over the weekend (that I'm quite thrilled about!!) Window valances are underway, thanks to Grandma. Also, I'm finally giving serious thought to what we will put on all those blank blue walls. Baby Reeder needs to be visually stimulated by something, right?

- I'm pretty sure Baby Reeder has hooked his foot around my ribs and is now hanging monkey-bar style. He's positioned so high that I swear he'll never "drop". I rarely feel movement below my belly button anymore, except for hiccups (no longer adorable, btw) and the occasion jabs to my bladder. And, I must admit, I've started pushing back when he gets so high that I can't breathe.

- I've started doing kick counts every so often, mostly when I haven't felt him bustin' a move in a while. They say to give him 1 hour to move 10 times. My child knocks this out in 10 minutes or less. Already an overachiever like both his parents :)

- I am so delighted that it's October because we're that much closer to meeting this little one. I cannot wait, honestly. It's seriously all I ever think about. I'm especially excited to see his sweet little face and figure out his personality. Despite all of the aches and pains, this pregnancy has been the greatest gift I've ever been given. I'm going to (try to) cherish it while it lasts, but I can't help but be excited for Christmas!
