Sweet Potato St. Vincent

Weekly Update

How am I feeling? Great! I continue to have menstrual like cramps and I still think it is between the baby moving and my uterus growing.

Milestones: We had our BIG ultrasound Friday, the 16th, (which actually was week 17, but oh well lol)! It lasted for about any hour since the u/s tech has to measure and get pictures of all different things... the femur bone, the heart, the stomach, the bladder, the kidneys, the brain, etc. I am happy to announce that the baby is 100% healthy! But, I am glad it lasted long lol... We had a full hour of just watching baby! The first thing we found out was the sex though! And, wow, I can't even begin to tell you how excited Guy and I are!! We will be announcing the sex to everyone at Christmas time so be on the look out for your Christmas card in December! It will be the best present for our families!

How do I look? Pregnant... round belly and big boobs lol!

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a sweet potato! Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

What am I craving? I continue to crave salty foods!

Aversions? Peanut Butter

What am I looking forward to? Feeling flutters of movement for the first time... Registering... Going home for my baby shower in January...

Onion St. Vincent

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

Avacado St. Vincent


Weekly Update

How am I feeling? Great! I have started to get a little crampy, but I seriously think it is the baby moving and stretching my uterus. When the cramping starts, it may only last for 10-15 seconds. Hurts like mentrual cramps, but comforts me knowing that the baby is moving!

How do I look? Pregnant... round belly and big boobs lol!

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a avacado! Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming

What am I craving? I continue to crave salty foods!

Aversions? Peanut Butter

What am I looking forward to? Finding out the sex next Friday... Feeling flutters of movement for the first time... Registering... Going home for my baby shower in January...
