How about some fresh squeezed.....

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. -thebump.com

When life hands you lemons... make lemonade!

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. -thebump.com

Diaper bag...check!

I am so excited, I just won this Skip Hop http://www.skiphop.com/ diaper bag on Ebay. It retails for $89.00. I have a surplus of funds lately, with all of the items I have been selling so it was a nice treat and I snagged it at $65.00 with shipping. The best part is it has these little straps on wither side that you can hook around the handles of a stroller so everything is right at arms reach. Its nice and neutral it doesn't scream "diaper bag" which is nice, just hope Marc won't mind wearing it!

Feeling Peachy??

We are!!!




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. -thebump.com

Great Website Uppercase Living!

I came across this great website the other day through one of my CustomInk customers. She was making the custest t-shirt design, and the website happened to be on there. I decided to stalk it, which is fun to do every now and again. I am so glad I did, because it gave me some more nursery ideas. The designs are basicly appliques, which can be changed, removed or painted over when ready for a change. You can even customize your own ideas, and design in a lab similar to Customink's. www.uppercaseliving.com

Baby A Bouncing around

Today we had a few appointments. First we met with Dr. Forrest, our OB in Fairfax. We were able to hear the baby's heart for the first time. It was amazing, well not at first....unfortunately the Baby Doppler was running low on batteries. So instead of heartbeats, we heard alien like squeals, all 3 of us could not stop laughing. There was an alien in my tummy! Eventually he grabbed a new Doppler and we were finally able to hear our baby's heartbeat. Loud and strong and right around 150 beats minute.

Then it was of to Fairfax Hospital for a cervical measurement and pics of our little one. The room was great, nice comfy bed and a large plasma TV nearly 50 inches to watch our baby move around. At first the baby wasn't cooperating, but after some Mommy movements, the baby cooperated and moved how we wanted. We were able to see the legs and arms stretching around, and bouncing all over. Again we heard the heartbeat, around 158 beats a minute. I was dying to know the sex, but the Dr. said it was way to early and to stop asking!! Oh well, guess we'll have to wait another 6-8 weeks.

My mama is for Obama!

Cute little onesies I came across! Go OBAMA!!!!

Plum Pudding this week!

As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.
