Week 28: Growing as I Should

And in this uterus, weighing in at 3 pounds, with a crown to rump length of 16 inches, hailing from Lori & Evan...Baby! <>>

Well there I am, and boy oh boy am I getting big. I am also starting to become a lot more active. This week my daddy and my Aunt Marina saw me kicking in my mommy's belly. They watched with sheer amusement as my feet protruded through the skin. I heard them both giggling with every one of my kicks.

My room is also really starting to take shape. My Aunt Marina was busy as a bee this week painting cute little teddy bears all over it. I heard my daddy say over and over again that he didn't want any pink hearts, in case I'm a boy. Both mommy and daddy seemed really happy with how the room is looking, but both said that there is a lot that still needs to be done before it is ready for me. 

Mommy had her now every other week check-up and the doctor said that I'm growing as a I should. She also told mommy, who then told daddy, that there will be no more ultrasounds and that the next time they see me it will be when I am ready to make my grand entrance into the world. My heartbeat was 155 today, which according to the doctor is good. Mommy next visits the doctor in 2 weeks, when she'll be 30 weeks along. I can feel her excitement with every passing day.

Well that is my update. I'm going to stream a baseball game in here and relax. I'll update again really soon. Thanks for checking on me. Baby out!

Week 27: I'm Ready for My Close-Up

Well, there I am. I'm around 27 weeks old at this point, give, or take a few days. I weigh in at 2 and half pounds, so I'm looking like I'm going to be a big baby. This is the first time that my mommy and my daddy have gotten to see my face. Heck, it's the first time that I've gotten to see my face. I over heard my mommy and daddy say that I look just like him, so I'm hoping that's a good thing.

The last week was a busy one for me. My mommy took me on a trip to Los Angeles where she had a baby shower for me. Whatever that means. I heard laughing and felt lots of rubs on my mommy's belly. Everyone sounded so excited and said that they couldn't wait to see some pictures of me. I really enjoyed my time in LA. I got to hear the voices of many family members and friends. That made me excited.

My daddy went on a baseball trip. He visited a bunch of cities that I cannot pronounce yet. He called my mommy a lot to check up on her and me. He sounded tired, but excited. I even heard him say that he couldn't wait to start taking me to baseball games. I have no idea what baseball is, but if it makes my daddy happy, and my mommy happy for my daddy, then it makes me happy. 

The week before my mommy had to visit the hospital and they kept her there for a really long time because she was dehydrated from a stomach bug that she caught. Well no one was really sure what she caught, my bubbie thought that it might have been a bad egg salad sandwich that my mommy ate earlier in the day. Either way it was not a fun day in here, but we got through it and both of us are feeling much, much better. So no one out there worry.

Well I'm about 13 weeks away from making my big entrance into the world. I can't wait to meet all of you for the very first time. And judging from my daddy's voice he was really excited for all of the great gifts that you all got me at my mommy's LA baby shower. So until my next update, be well. Baby out!
