The Mischievous Abbie

Greetings friends! As time wears on Abbie (and Lindsay) get bigger and closer to the due date. We're over halfway there and Lindsay is definitely starting to feel the effects. Lindsay had a great couple of doctor visits and the result is that it is now 100% a girl, she's healthy and looks great and all is right on track. In other news, Lindsay has been feeling Abbie kick constantly for a few weeks now, but I finally got the chance to feel it too. It's all starting to get very exciting.

In housing news, we finally decided to stay in the rental market and have to decided to upgrade in the apartment complex we are currently in. The location is too convenient and it's too good on gas to consider moving farther away. We have also pushed up the moving date to late August which will give us about 3 months to settle in before Abbie is scheduled to arrive. Lindsay will be a much bigger help at that point rather than later.

Lindsay's mom visited last weekend which gave us house guests for two weekends in a row. Zoey loved it, she gets so excited she almost doesn't know what to do with herself. We saw "Wall-E" last week which is a great movie. If you haven't already, go see it, it will warm your heart. Once again, enjoy all the pictures, and I hope all is well in your part of town. Take care.

This is the picture that inspired the blog title. It looks as if she just got into some mischief and she has the "who me" look on her face.

Pictorial Update

Melissa convinced us (with little effort) to stay up way past our bedtime last night to enjoy more time in the (surprisingly not crowded at all) Magic Kingdom. We took oodles of pictures, which are posted below. Enjoy!

More & more pregnant each and every day

We never get to ride the carousel!

My horse stopped approximately 30 feet in the air...I'm on my "high horse," GET IT?

We each gave the sword in the stone the old college try

Melissa didn't try very hard

I, on the other hand, put my back into it

Overall, it was a great evening. It brought back great memories of closing up the Magic Kingdom when we were kids. Little ice-cream treats here and there, and a dinner at Pecos Bills, we forget how lucky we are sometimes. All it takes is a three day weekend and a little time to reconnect with why we all love to come to Florida. Enjoy the pictures, have a great rest of the weekend.

She likes a Triscuit

Happy Independence Day everyone! Lindsay continues to grow and grow. AND! Our growing baby has finally started to exercise her muscles. Lindsay felt Abbie kick for the first time a couple of days ago. In fact, Lindsay just ate a Triscuit and felt her kick, hence the blog title. I have yet to feel her kick, but I trust Lindsay that she's actually moving around now. Lindsay goes 5 months on Monday. Making us halfway there...I knew it would go by fast, but seriously?

Melissa (my sister) is back from Europe and visiting us in beautiful Orlando, FL. And since we live so close to one of the biggest Independence Day fireworks shows ever, it would be silly not to attend such an event. Zoey has thoroughly enjoyed having a friend at home all day this week.

Life seems fairly mellow at the moment. Which, people keep telling me I should enjoy it while I can. Work and home are in great balance and Lindsay and I both are just thrilled with the way things are going. I hope everything is well in your corner of the world. Have a safe Independence Day.

P.S. - For those of you who need proof that Chewbacca actually won "Dance off with the Star Wars Stars", please refer to the documented footage below. Have a great week :o)
