Movement and Sofas and "Did you really just say that out loud?"

My goodness... she's moving around a lot now.  And the funny thing is I'm feeling it in a totally new place.  I was feeling all the movement on the left or right side of my belly and now it's all down low.  Lots of twisting, turning, and kicking.  Matt's finally able to really easily feel the movement which I think is exciting for him.  From my point of view, it feels very, very strange!

I know they shift positions a lot but it makes me wonder if she previously had enough room to hang around sideways but now she's too big and shifted to more consistently be top to bottom.  I still have a belly button so maybe this new position will pop me out round a bit more like the other ladies in our childbirth education class that have a similar due date.  Well...  maybe the shape of my belly was one thing that inspired the off-handed comment I got at the farmer's market the other day.  A woman asked me when I was due but followed that up with, "And... it's more than one...?"  Ha!  One of my first "Did you really just say that out loud?" moments.  She backtracked pretty quickly!  But I wasn't offended.  She was a little wacky anyways and clearly didn't think before she opened her mouth.  Ha!

Well, today's the day.  I'm heading BACK to that furniture store and that poor sales woman.  I'm making a purchase!  No slipcover sofa for us... we just couldn't pick a style that we agreed was a good one.  So the winner is (with two cushions instead of three):



It will be upholstered in a charcoal grey, fade- and stain-resistant, 100% acrylic fabric.  We poured some water on the swatch and watched it roll around, never actually soaking into the fabric.  Perfect!  :)
