Lot's of Excitement!!! (and Week 23 breezing into month 6)

A lot has happened since our last post! First of all, the most exciting, Scott has finally felt Turtle moving!!!! Laying in bed on Saturday night Turtle was moving all around so I told Scott to put his hand on my belly and be patient. Sure enough... he felt him! The look on his face and his excitement was awesome! Since Saturday, he's felt Turtle a few more times and each time is equally as awesome for both of us.
Next bit of excitement: the nursery is well under way. I know it's a tad pre-mature, but with Scott going back to school in a few weeks, we needed to use the time we had to get it done. Walls are painted, furniture assembled/placed, windows cleaned and a rug picked out (but not picked up until tomorrow). Now all that's left is for my mom to make the awesome curtains she's so generously offered to make (thanks mom!), a lamp, and artwork. Since we're going with a Classic Pooh theme, we've found some beautiful drawings in the Pooh Friendship Book that we plan to blow up and frame. It really is shaping up to be a peaceful and calming environment.
I'm continuing to enjoy my pre-natal water aerobics class. It's great to be with other moms-to-be and just be able to chat. Surprisingly, it's also a really great workout! The weightlessness of the water feels wonderful on my pulled joints.
My students continue to be a constant source of amusement. This morning when I asked "What is something that makes you happy?" in morning circle, one of my 2nd levels answered, "Just knowing Turtle will get out of there." Then she proceeded to chant, "Go Turtle Go! Go Turtle Go!" Hmmm... don't go just yet Turtle!
Enjoy some pictures of the recent bump and the nursery progress!

That's one excited daddy!!!

Jack's helping too!

Oohh! Look at that crib. 

The dresser, changing table, and walk-through doors. 

Comfy corner! Glider.
