Moving: limbs and furniture

She moved for both of my parents for the first time today. She's in a new position with whatever appendage out on my right side, just underneath my ribs. Both of them were able to feel it one after another, and my mom couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the day. Later in the afternoon I was resting on the couch and I could SEE the movement, very clearly, from the outside. I wish I had a video camera within arm's reach; I could have easily captured it. Regardless, it was still very exciting.

The bedroom that will eventually be hers is really coming together too. Art's desk and the bulk of the audio gear he doesn't need any more has been disassembled and moved down to the garage to be sold. The armoire has been moved from the dining room and into that room; the reptiles have been moved from that room and into the dining room; the futon and armoire have been rotated around that room into the positions that they will remain; the holes in the wall and ceiling have been patched and painted (though the ceiling needs to be touched up with the right color white); and her clothes have been moved from our closet and organized into the armoire.

Now we just need to finish up organizing the rest of his audio gear, acquire the crib and changing table (and go through the joys of assembling them), and get some decorations up on the walls so it's not so bare! I'm feeling much better now that this all has been accomplished.

Oh yeah, and this all happened in the past 72 hours. We've been busy.
