It has been pretty exciting to tell friends and family that we are having a boy. Lots of responses of happiness and excitement! There are many responses like... "dang, what is Andy going to teach this boy..." I look forward to having some fun with my son. :)
As for names, We are still throwing around first names. We have his middle and last name decided upon... but, we still have 4 months to firm it up. :)
This last week Carla passed 21 weeks and check out the belly!!!
She is VERY excited to move past the "I look fat" stage and into the "I am showing/pregnant" stage.
Baby room: coming together... slowly. By next weekend, the baby room should be clean and ready for furniture. Once we the room is ready, we can move ALL of the baby stuff that our friends and family have already given to us. Thank you everyone! books... clothes... decor... small shoes... tons!
In our last OB appointment, she was trying to find a steady heart beat, but... Mr. Burns was moving like a fish! We heard plenty of small beats, but nothing regular, then... a regular heart beat, then nothing... then something... then nothing. It was like fishing! We got a bite... then it got away....then a bite... The OB was very confident that all was well and Mr. Burns is an active baby! :) She asked if Carla was feeling Mr. Burns and at that time... nothing.
Wednesday, September 2:
The email subject from Carla to Andy: "Pretty sure Mr. Burns just kicked me...."
The email content from Carla to Andy: "So I am a little freaked out because it is just a SUPER weird thought that Mr. Burns is now big enough to kick me. I thought it was supposed to feel like 'butterfly kisses'... baloney. I feel a fish flopping in me. WEIRD! Not sure I like this. Can I be done now? Maybe it is just REALLY weird feeling gas."
Carla has spent the last few days "enjoying" this new movement from inside her belly... Mr Burns and her have poking contests and he doesn't want to lose... :) I can't feel or see anything, but I am told that he is quite active. As Carla continues to teach voice lessons, Mr Burns has been quite active when a student isn't singing correctly! Mr Burns starts kicking, as to say, "sing correctly, you are killing me in here!"
Four months to go. Anybody up for a little baby pool to predict the date that Mr. Burns comes into this crazy world???
