Watch Me Grow!

Baby Shower

The math department at Dad's school threw him a surprise baby shower in honor of me! First we had a wonderful Mexican lunch then they brought out gifts. Mom was in on it because one of the teachers had to call her and tell her to come, but she kept it a secret from dad for 2 whole days. My dad is lucky to work with such thoughtful, caring people.

Unfortunately mom forgot the camera so no pictures were taken at the party, but here are the wonderful gifts I got.

My big brother Jonah even got a gift....a truck! He wanted to sleep with it he liked it so much!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My brother the Duck and me, the *Jack-O-Lantern. We're ready to go trick-or-treating! I've still got a good 3 and a half more weeks to bake but mom couldn't resist dressing me up this Halloween. Jonah wasn't too sure what to think of me at first but soon he was pulling up his shirt saying, "me pumpkin".

*Mom gives credit to her friend Monica for this idea!

27 more days!

Since my conception I've been in 2 different countries and 6 states. My latest trip was to Georgia to visit my Great Uncle Robert and Aunt Connie and to celebrate my Pop's 81st birthday. Mom and dad thought this may be our last big road trip for a while so we headed out. Here I am in mom's belly...not to be confused with my Pop's belly! (hee hee) I put on some good wiggle shows while I was there and everyone got to see me move.

6 weeks to go!

Well, I'm growing nice and big...or maybe that's just mom! She says she feels like a blimp. My big brother is trying his best to keep her busy getting up and down off the floor and playing cars with her but her belly keeps getting bigger and bigger. We had our last check-up on Tuesday and everything looked great. Mom just wishes she could see ultrasound pictures of me. Starting next week we'll get to go in for check-ups every week! That means I'm coming soon!

13 weeks to go!

My mom is now 27 weeks pregnant which means only 91 more days for me to bake! Supposedly I am now 14.4 inches long and weigh about 2 lbs. I also sleep and wake at regular intervals (information thanks to http://www.babycenter.com/).

She thinks her belly is a lot bigger this time around. Here is a comparison belly shot of Jonah in the oven at 27 weeks.

16 weeks to go!

Yesterday my family and I went in for our 24 week check-up. Mom and dad met the second of 3 doctors who may deliver me depending on what day I decide to come. Mom was just thankful he spoke English! Everyone got to hear my heartbeat which was good and healthy and mom's belly is the perfect size so that means I'm growing!

This little outfit here is my very first gift! It's from mom's cousins, Derrill and Michal. Thanks guys!
