Gerty!

Just a quick update...For those of you who don't know, along the way our little girl received the nickname Gertrude. Leave it to Casey to come up with a name like Gertrude! Anyway that name has, over time, been shortened to Gerty. So, if I happen to refer to Gerty, you now know who I am talking about. Others think we're crazy for using such an odd nickname but for us, it just fits!! Casey has also taken it upon himself to shorten it yet again to Ole Dirt McGirt! He's so strange!
The last few days have been crazy. I have been working a lot and have had very little sleep...or at least my body feels that way. Something new happened the other day that put a huge smile on my face. I felt Gerty move...on the "outside". She was moving a lot one evening and I put my hand on my belly to see if I could feel her. I haven't been able to feel her with my hand in the past. She surprised me! I felt a kick and then I got so excited that I hit Casey! The next night I felt her again. Then it was Casey's turn. Then it was Mom's turn! It is such an amazing feeling! Wow...just thought I'd share.
I got home from work the other night to find that Casey and Zach had put the crib together! Yes, you heard me correct, Casey and Zach. Can you imagine watching the two of them putting a crib together and then putting the bedding on the crib. I was so surprised! I've added a few pictures!
