No Fancy Title...just an update!

It's been a while so I thought I'd write a little....We had a little scare last Saturday, I didn't feel baby move for a couple of days so doctor had us go to the hospital for some fetal monitoring. The minute the nurse put the monitor on me, her heartbeat was loud and fast. And then we could hear her kicking around. They kept me on the monitor for about 2 hours and then sent me home. Doctor thinks she was probably just a little far, closer to my back so I couldn't feel her. But she has definitely made up for lost time, i don't think she stopped saturday night through tuesday. She is becoming much more active and harder. She must be growing. Chuck has felt her a good bit more and we talk to her a good bit and she seems to respond a bit to that. Lisa even got to feel her kick pretty hard Tuesday night.
Funny side note: While we were at the hospital, we were trying to think of anything to get her to move so we could hear/feel her. So Chuck decided to put his phone/MP3 player up to my tummy and see if she would respond. First he tried Dave Matthews Band, no luck. Then he played "Insane in the Membrane" which is a really terrible old rap song and she went nuts. She started kicking and pushing and dancing around. It was hilarious. The nurse started calling Chuck "Rockstar Daddy". It was too funny. I really hope bad rap is not the music she likes!
Nothing else really exciting going on. Daddy started painting the crib and it looks great so far. We are going over to their house tomorrow and Chuck is going to help him finish it up. I can't wait for it to be finished and over here in her room. I hope we're able to finish moving furniture around and getting the room as ready as we can, which I'd like to get finished on Sunday, but we'll see! Once it's all arranged, I'll try to take some pics to show it off!
I guess that's about it for the moment, next MD appt is Sept 8, but it'll just be a routine visit. But I'll update! Til then...
