Week 23... 117 days to go..

Sorry I havnt written in awhile, I didnt feel like there was much going on significantly and didnt want to sound like a broken record. :) We are getting very close to being less than 100 days to go and somedays it STILL doesnt seem real. I should really get started on that baby room, or cleaning it out.. yikes. She has been moving like CRAZY lately. I think she must still be head up, because it feels like little or rather big bumps against my bladder. Its a really weird, peaceful feeling! The most exciting thing is that Mike may have felt the baby move the other night, she's kind of shy (takes after her mommy) and he had to be very still and patient for her to act up again, I drank some Orange Juice and away she went....
I was reading in the emails I get, that she weights just over one pound and her taste buds have developed as well as her sense of sound.... which I've noticed, because when we were at Manley's funeral this past weekend and they did the gun salute she jumped and swished around, it was pretty amazing, for the situation. My lunch is over now though, so I should get going... I will try to update more frequently :)

Nosey Nelly...

I mean Heidi... ;) Grandma Pam says you've been calling.. so here you go :)

Darn IT, you cant see the first picture but its a GIRL!!!!!!!!!
The next one is FEET... two honkin' big feet...

Week 20

What a week its been. I started my new job like I think I stated last week.. and its been CRAZY. I think I'm going to be actually talking to providers on the phone next week, so if any of you have questions on Medicare, I might be able to answer.. haha.. that is IF you work for a provider.. the rest of you get to call the Medicare hotline ;)

4 1/2 more days until my scan, I am so excited. I've been waiting and waiting. I think it will finally make everything "real" not that it isnt real-- but honestly- 20 weeks is a LONG time! I dont think either of us really care what "it" is- but rather that its healthy. I would love little dresses and stuff.. but boy stuff has been getting cuter by the day ;) Enough of my rambling! About this little one making my pants to tight:

This week you're carrying about 10.5 inches and 10.5 ounces of solid baby-miracle-goodness! — the length of a banana. (that made me laugh..)Their little delicates bones continue to ossify and toughen while their itsy bitsy finger and toe pads are finishing up. Your little monkey now has teeth buds, although they’re hidden beneath the gum line. And finally! Their limbs have reached their relative proportions—no more alien baby! Their cute pink lips are more defined, and might be helping out in a bit of prenatal thumb-sucking. If you have a little boy, then their tiny testes are descending, though they have not yet passed the abdominal wall. What’s more, eyelashes and eyebrows are also visible. At this point, your little one really looks like a miniature baby—and we do mean miniature as your little swimmer currently weighs a mere eighth of their final birth weight. With half the pregnancy behind you, the most significant gains are yet to come!

As far as Im feeling? Im glad the weather is finally nice enough out so I can Chelsea out for some VERY MUDDY walks, except she thinks she's the human and pulls me through the puddles as she prances around. Im not as tired as I was, and my tummy is hard now. I can tell there is a tummy there, some other people think its just pudge. Hopefully in the next few weeks that changes. Look for an update Monday afternoon after we find out what it is!!!!!!
