Weekly Update

How far along? 19 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: + 6lbs

Sleep: Not having to get up as much during the night, but still going to bed way to late. I guess I am just getting ready for a newborn again.

Best moment this week: Having friends comment that I am starting to show.

Movement: Tiny movements occasionally.

Food cravings: chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!

Gender: We find out in 2 more weeks!

Belly Button in or out? In, but starting to get flatter.

What I miss: Definitely, sleeping on my stomach!

What I am looking forward to: Doctors appointment on Thursday, and of course the ultrasound in 2 weeks.


Baby Development: Baby weighs about 5oz and is about 5.5 inches long. Baby also has individual unique fingerprints. Cool huh.

Toys Possessed

So occasionally Jacob's toys will just randomly start singing or talking or whatever. I mean for no reason, they have not been played with in hours and no one is around. Weird right. Well this tops all. 2 nights ago Devin was downstairs finishing up, I was upstairs getting ready for bed and Jacob had been in bed for hours. Jacob's tabletop toy was sitting in the family room. It was 11:30pm, the toy had not been played with in over 3 hours. This is what Devin heard:

"Peek-a-boo"
(pause)
"I see you! He-he-he"
(long pause)
"Peek-a-boo"

A little freaky right!? (especially after we just watched a scary movie. Glad it was Devin downstairs and not me!)

A Day at the Park

It was beautiful here today, and since it doesn't happen that often we had to take advantage and go to the park. Jacob of course is too little for the park toys except for the swings. (He also tried out the teeter-tot and slide but since he needed mommy's help there are not pictures). Here is his first swinging experience:

"Do I do it like this?"

"Oh I hang on like this."

"Check out my toothy grin"

"What's over there?"

"This is really fun!"

"I can swing like the big boys"

"Ah, a fun day at the park"

Wordless Wednesday

Weekly Update

How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I think 4lbs.
(Finally got a new battery for our scale but now I question the accuracy of the previous weights. Will have to compare with the doctors office next appointment.)

Sleep: A little better. A few nights all the way through. Yeah! Trying to get to bed earlier and not drink as much late.

Best moment this week: Having friends comment that I am starting to show.

Movement: Tiny movements occasionally.

Food cravings: chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!

Gender: We find out in 3 more weeks!

Belly Button in or out? In, but starting to get flatter.

What I miss: laying flat on my stomach and flat on my back. I forgot how hard it is not to be able to sleep flat.

What I am looking forward to: Feeling more movements, and of course the ultrasound in 3 weeks.
