A first for the daddy!!!

Jonathan was finally able to feel the baby move!!!

That's right, after enduring about two weeks of Kathleen's frequent requests to try to the feel the baby kicking (after all...SHE could feel it clearly enough), Jon finally felt it! Kathleen was lying in bed, trying to nap and the baby was kicking like crazy. Somewhat apprehensively, she asked Jon to see if he could feel it (for perhaps the 100th time that week). He willingly and patiently laid a hand on her stomach and was rewarded about 30 seconds later when he announced "your stomach lept!".

So fun!!!

Our "little" project

A couple of weekends ago, we took Kathleen's childhood dresser and turned it into a project for our own bundle of joy. Kathleen worked on most of the demolition and sanding while Jon ran power chord interference and did all of the painting (along with dilligently chasing Kathleen away from the fumes). You will notice the general contractor supervising in some of the photos. He kept a watchful eye throughout the entire project, and I have to say...we are all pleased with the final results!
