My mom was in town to help with the food and to keep my sanity this weekend for our gender reveal, so we needed to take our photo a day early, but missed the sun (hence the in the dark photo). I wrote both genders on the chalkboard and then the hubby helped by photo shopping off the wrong one and created the little GIF above! :-)
What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a heirloom tomato (YUM!), measuring 6" long and weighs about 8 oz. Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision and touch. Research shows that she can hear our voices now, and D has been talking away to her. Kidney's continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. We had our anatomy scan on Wednesday and it was completely AWESOME to see all the cool little parts on the screen (see below for cool photos) Everything checked out a-ok with the scan, but when it came to get to the good information, baby girl refused to uncross her legs. We ate chocolate, went potty, did some toe touches all to get baby to change positions. It almost looked like we weren't going to get our information. In a last ditch effort D went to get juice out of my car and as soon as he left the room, she uncrossed her legs and showed the goods! A little hamburger if you follow Dooce. Our modest little girl!
What's been going on with mom? Seriously, I have been going mad working away at the gender reveal party, having nerves about our anatomy scan and getting very little sleep.....which honestly is probably more related to over-active brain instead of a pregnancy symptom. I have decided that the hubby and I are going to eat a better, even more well rounded diet from this point on!
Symptoms: Heartburn still likes to rear its head with tomato sauce....sigh. Light headedness and high emotions. I had my first balling moment this week also.
Yummy/Icky: Nothing this week.
Clothing: I FINALLY got some maternity clothes thanks to my super awesome mom and mother-in-law. They spoiled me at Destination Maternity so I have some SUPER comfy work slacks, jeans and work-out pants. I got some work tops and a couple of new bras for the growing girls. You have no idea how grateful I am to be in comfortable clothes!!!! YAY! Question.....why don't we always have the stretchy pull over panel? It is the most amazing this invented!!!!
Movement: The tapping is getting more and more consistent. I generally know when to expect it! After our appointment on Wednesday I was lying in bed and the hubby was on the computer. Baby girl whacked me really hard several times, and when I put my hand to my stomach I felt it from the outside. I called D over and he felt the baby move. He was so excited he was talking away to her. Everytime I think I'm going to have a "dance party" I call him over. My mom is still waiting for strong enough ones for her to feel.
Best Moment this Week: There were so many awesome moments, but sharing the news with our families was pretty darn cool....I will share more on the gender reveal soon!
Looking forward to: Registering and feeling stronger movements!
Here's a shot that the hubby wanted to take special this week, he is so excited for "Daddy's Little Girl"
