Belly Button Watch 2009

We are almost to the end of 2009... so with that I am updating the belly button watch. I still think it has a fighting chance of remaining through the pregnancy, though Mike thinks inevitably some time in January it will pop.... Right now it only looks like a belly button when she is not leaning on it. When she leans on it, it HURTS and gets totally flat on the bottom, while the top totally sticks out. So strange. Here is the comparison from week 1 to week 11..... what a difference a trimester(and a tan) makes!

We've Come a Long Way Baby

wow!

Wow, I have been so busy this week, almost forgot to post. Work is kicking my butt lately!

We hit 29 weeks on Wednesday, and Nyla is as active as ever. She is just a kicking and tumbling machine. She especially likes to sit nice and low, making sitting comfortably almost impossible! I am starting the kick counting which basically means once a day I take a time when she is really active and count her kicks/movements over the course of an hour. Ten or more we are good to go, less than ten, I call the doctor and we get her heart rate checked out.

At 29 weeks we are a full sized butternut squash weighing in at an impressive 2.5 to 3lbs and a little over 15 inches from head to heel. She will still grow about another 5 inches in length before I hand her the eviction notice in February.

Fun fact, this trimester the baby is taking 250MG of calcium a day from me to deposit and help strengthen her bones for her departure.

WARNING

When you are younger, and your mom tells you that one day when you get pregnant your cute belly button piercing will look freaking gross.... she is right, especially when it starts to turn inside out...

28 Week Ultrasound

Say hello to our little fatty!

She is 2lbs 11oz, her heart rate is 141, and she is measuring 3 days ahead of schedule.... my belly is measuring a week ahead of schedule.

She actually let us see her this time! I think she behaved because my mom was there this time and she was looking to impress... enjoy!

28 Weeks!

We made it to 28 weeks, and we have so much going on this week!

I swear I can still remember when I was typing 8 weeks! We are officially in the christmas season, my favorite time of year, and this year Mike even let me decorate the house early!

This week we have our last monthly doctor visit, and we start going every 2 weeks, plus we get to see Nyla again tomorrow!

This week she is already moving around like CRAZY, and you can totally see when she kicks my belly! This week she weighs around 2.25 lbs and is 15 inches long!

The produce of choice this week is a Chinese cabbage.

She is blinking, and already has eyelashes (hopefully she inherits those from her father) that we may see flutter at the ultrasound tomorrow!

According to babycentre I am going to gain about

11 lbs in the next 4 weeks

BRING IT ON!
