Baby's First Moves

Today was the day....I felt the baby move for the first time!!!! It was the weirdest but most amazing feeling. At first I just thought it was hunger, but then it kept happening. It felt like I had a baby woodpecker, pecking around in there. Haha.

I met Nate for lunch today & tried to get the baby to move, but it wasn't cooperating. Of course as soon as I left & returned to work the child wouldn't stop moving around. It's antsy just like it's father. For those of you who know Nate well, he is always moving around. The man cannot sit still, unless you put him in a fishing boat :-)

Speaking of fishing....Grandpa Helgerson (Nate's Dad)....still weird to call him that; has started to show his artistic side. As many of you are aware, Nate & his father are Minnesota Vikings fans. My family & I are Chicago Bears fans....there could be confusion in Baby H's life during football season ;-) J/K Here is the latest artistry by Grandpa Bob....



Well, not much else is new & exciting in our family. Our high risk Maternal Fetal Medicine appointment is on Monday @ 2:30 at Rockford Memorial so we will have more updates then. We may even have more photos too!!! We love baby pictures!!!

5 Months & counting until Baby H :-)
Love xoxoxo,
Rachel & Nate
