I thought I would share some of Capri's favorite karate moves/kicks. I'm including a few little video clips that I took this evening. By the way the big green ball is my belly! :-) I'm taking the video sitting with the camera looking down at my belly.

More Nursery Decor
The curtains arrived on Monday after I posted the pictures of Capri's room so I thought I would just post a picture with the curtains now that they are hung.

Stewart Little's World Progressing
Hi there,
We are about to start week 35 already! We have been busily preparing for Stewart Little's, I mean Capri's arrival with doctor appointments, classes, decorating her room, etc. Things are moving along nicely in all areas. We've been seeing the doctor for routine check ups every other week this month. Starting next week we will start going weekly. Last week we had an ultrasound mainly to get an idea of her size but also to see how everything is progressing. This wasn't mandatory, more out of curiousity than anything. Her estimated weight as of this last week (Wednesday) was already a whopping 6lbs 9oz! She is obviously a very healthy little girl. From what we can tell from the ultrasound pictures, she seems to be carrying quite a bit in her cheeks. ;-)
We completed our 7 week birthing class on March 3rd. It was good for both of us educationally speaking and enjoyed many good laughs (mostly at inappropriate times and yes I'm sure the laugh will be on us in just a mere few weeks). Next on the to-do list is to sign up for the infant first aid class...check! That will be coming up at the beginning of April.
We've been working on getting Stewart Little's room furnished and decorated. Once we got the furniture setup and bedding on, I hit a creative mental block but with some help from our friend Sandy and her friend Kris, I was on the project with new ideas again. I'm still working on some finishing touches but this is what we have so far. Might I add that it will be one of the best decorated rooms in the house...go figure!

Stewart Little's Name Unveiled!
So for those of you who have not been playing the name game or have been but have not yet guessed it, we've decided now is a good time to unveil. Her name is Capri!
Ryan and I had a small list of names started in an excel spreadsheet. While there were some cute options, we really wanted a name that had meaning to us but we were struggling to find one that we thought would be suitable for a girl. As I was walking Boone one day listening to my iPod, the song "Capri" came on and it hit me. The song is about a baby girl named Capri. This was it! Ryan and I were married in Sorrento, Italy on the Amalfi Coast (six years ago this month). The Island of Capri is just off the coast of Sorrento. We spent a day there enjoying the quaint little island town, it's people and some very cool sights. I've posted the song on our blog as I thought it would only be appropriate with the unveiling of her name. The artist: Colbie Caillet. This is where the music clues came from. The fruity beverage of course would be Caprisun. Most of the other clues pertain specifically to the Island of Capri and/or the meaning behind Capri's name.
A quick note that we just realized was kind of funny and coincidental...Ryan's brother Jarrett stated to us, before he had guessed Capri's name from the name game clues, that he was just going to refer to her as "short pants" if he couldn't figure out her name. Funny thing is, he wasn't too far off!

More Photos & Name Clues
This week marked 31 weeks and now we're onto 32 weeks! Its hard to believe that we only have 8-9 weeks to go. Time has been flying by but we are starting to get our act together as far as baby gear. The first weekend in February we picked up our nursery furniture so we are getting a good start on the room. I'll try to make some more headway this next weekend and send some pictures of the nursery then. In the meantime, Ryan took some more of our monthly belly shots this morning so I've shared them below. I'm always amazed at the previous pictures when I post the new ones. Last time I remember thinking "WHOA" when I posted the photos. As I post these and look at them in comparison to the last, it almost leaves me speechless...or perhaps just to say "WHOA" on a whole new level. :-) Needless to say, both Stewart Little and I are growing like weeds!
Clue #14: Her name is a place. The place is an island
Clue #15: Short pants
Clue #16: Blue Grotto
