Here is our wee baby at 13 weeks and 3 days. Pat and Faith came with me to my doctors appointment and I was hoping the baby would do a repeat of the previous week when I was by myself… ( when the baby was moving arms and legs and completely flipped from the right side to the left side while I was watching! ) This week we caught the baby napping… it looked like he was snoring! lol he was chillin and when he realized we were looking he raised his hand to wave to us!
In the first picture you can see the baby just hanging out, snoring. But once the baby knew we stopped by to visit, he raised his arm up to wave at us! You can see him waving in the second picture. How cute is that?
Pregnant Lady Thoughts
I am feeling pretty good! I gained 3 pounds 3 ounces so far…. I can split that up in three areas. 1 lb 1 oz in my right boob. 1 lb 1 oz in my left boob. and 1 lb 1 oz in my tummy. I am still eating well, but slacking on my workouts a bit. I am not sure what I should be doing really…. I need to research that I suppose. No weird cravings. No unexpected emotional outburst. Just me and Pat’s healthy wee baby growing in my belly!
I am happy Pat and Faith got to see the baby. It makes it feel “real” in a different kind of way. My next appointment is July 1st. I think Darlene is coming up to visit for that one… right Darlene? Are you coming up to visit? Darlene? Someone better be here! lol Let me know sis!
Here is some info about the baby directly from 3d pregnancy . com
Your Baby
Your baby can make a fist and even suck his or her thumb this week—both skills that are über-cute during infancy … and not so much at the age of 9. If you’re really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of baby’s thumb sucking on an ultrasound photo. That’s a framer! Other exciting developments include:Your baby’s eyelids are fused shut to protect his eyes as they develop. His bones and skull are solidifying and soon itsy-bitsy ribs may appear. (Baby ribs! How cute is that?!) Baby’s intestines are finally right where you want them—in his or her belly instead of poking out into the umbilical cord. Baby’s tooth sockets are all loaded and ready to pop out baby teeth six or seven months after baby is born (causing baby a lot of pain and you a lot of lost sleep).
Who’s that singing? Elton John? Could be your baby: His vocal cords and larynx are completed now.
Your baby-to-be now weighs about 20 grams and is nearly 3 inches long, or about the size of a Nutter Butter, covered in chocolate. OK, it doesn’t have to be covered in chocolate, but isn’t everything better that way?
Have a wonderful day!
And always remember that you have the power to decide how you will react to a situation. You can choose to react with optimism and always see something good about anything / anyone no matter how awful !
Love,
Your optimistic Angel
