Baby auditions for Riverdance

The baby is turning out to be quite the active little thing...and unfortunately for Carrie, the baby is a night owl! Two nights in a row, baby decided it was time to "riverdance" on Carrie's lower stomach while mommy was trying to get to sleep. Carrie got a small glimpse at what sleep is going to be like once baby arrives. Good thing is, baby seems to be like daddy and enjoys sleeping in on Saturday mornings.

Carrie read that babies are most active in the 7th month...which she is just starting. So this should be an interesting month! After this month, there will be less room for the baby to move around. We will then have the Alien-type experiences of body parts randomly jutting out.

A few cute things baby has done....

Kirk decided it would be funny to try and "call" the baby and started to tap Carrie's belly the other night. After each tap, the baby would kick! They are already teaming up against mommy!

Hannah felt the baby move!!! Hannah was lying on Carrie's belly when the baby kicked underneath where Hannah was. Hannah looked down really quick right where the baby kicked! Hannah continued to lay there which is good - she'll have to get used to abuse from the baby. We aren't quite sure how Sly is going to handle it.

Other news....

The nursery is painted! Carrie and Theresa labored long and hard last weekend and actually completed the mural! They have to admit that it looks fabulous. Pictures were taken along the way but we aren't going to put them on the blog until the big unveiling at the baby shower in a few weeks.

We have a few short trips coming up. Mother's Day weekend we are heading over to Wisconsin to see Kirk's parents and grandma. We haven't seen them since New Year's! Then we will be back in Wisconsin in early June for a baby shower Kirk's family is putting on for us. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!

We have our 28 week appointment on May 12th - we'll let you know how it goes!!!
