How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss:I don’t even know. I’m probably the same since I’m still in my regular clothes.
Maternity clothes? Nope. Sundresses are great though!
Sleep: Sleeping great. I’ve put a pillow behind me at night to help me sleep on my side. It’s been working except for when it falls off the bed and the [...]

Nursery Ideas

 Normally when a couple is going to find out the sex of the baby they will wait to see what they are having before deciding on a nursery theme. In my case, someone from church gave me a really good idea that would be good for a boy or girl. See, we already have the [...]

Week 15…Baby’s Size

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby’s legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can’t feel the movements.

Week 14…Baby’s Size

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

A Little Update

 I figured I would update with what’s been going on the past couple days. As most of you know, I went to the Doctor on Thursday the 14th and everything looks good so far. The results from my NT scan (which is a scan to see if the baby has Down Syndrome or Spina Bifida) [...]

Sleep: Sleeping great, but as soon as I wake up it’s potty time!

Week 13…Baby’s Size

Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords… savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby’s tummy. (Much more convenient.)

How we told our parents the news

 I wanted to share our decently creative ways of sharing our exciting news with our parents.
 We told my parents first, and it was the weekend after April fools. Seth and I went over to their house for hair cuts and to hang out. After my hair cut, all four of us were in the living [...]
