First Photo + A Surprise

Today me, Mommy and Faith went to the doctor to get a check-up. This was just supposed to be another normal check-up, but it ended up anything but that! When Mommy's doctor tried to find my heart beat, she couldn't! This made Mommy very worried! Despite Mommy and Daddy not have health insurance yet, the doctor was nice enough to get us in for a quick sonogram to see what was going on. Well, it turns out that I am just fine! I was just being a little difficult and hanging out a little to low in Mommy's tummy so that the doppler could not pick up my heart beat. And now for the surprise, while they were checking my heart they also checked to see if I was a boy or a girl! I'M A GIRL!!! Mommy and Daddy are so excited to be having another girl and my sister Faith was just excited to see me on the TV screen for the first time! The doctor says that she will have a more diagnostic sonogram when Mommy and Daddy have insurance, so more details later!

17 Weeks

Here I am in Mommy's tummy at 17 weeks! I am starting to grow very fast now! Mommy says that her new tummy is getting in the way of all of the painting that she has to get done in the house but that it is still a welcomed change!

16 Weeks

I learn the reflex of suction this week! Doctors say that if Mommy's eat something bitter tasting we stop sucking but if Mommy eats something sweet we start to suck twice as fast. My Mommy says that she can attest to this since one of the main things she craves is sweet, raspberries! She loves anything with raspberries in it especially if it's cold! I gues I have been keeping her pretty toasty with all of my growing and moving about!

15 Weeks

Here I am in Mommy's tummy! Am I cute or what! Mommy can already feel my little kicks and flips that I so enjoy performing! She says that she wasn't able to feel my big sister move this early but she is glad that she can feel me!

14 Weeks

Welcome to my baby blog! I am 14 weeks old now and growing in my Mommy's tummy! During the next week I will work hard to double my size! My full body systems are begining to work on their own and my heart beats at twice the rate of my Mommy's! My arms and legs are fully developed and I will begin to teach myself how to wave and maybe even suck my thumb!

My Mommy, Daddy and big sister Faith do not yet know if I am going to be a girl or a boy but they are excited that I will be spilling the beans at the end of July or first of August! Daddy say's that he thinks I am a girl and Mommy says that she just can't tell! What do think I will be?
