PiCtUrEs

Hi Baby,

We got some pictures of you today! We did a 3D ultrasound. You are such a cutie! The pictures aren't great, but it was so fun seeing you move all around. We felt really bad for you when you had both hands and your foot up by your head and the placenta is pushed into your face and the imbilical cord is up by your mouth. You look very cramped in there and you must be very uncomfortable. But the good news is you are so cute! There is much more to life then looks, but you are sure a cutie!


You weigh 4 pounds and 2 ounces, which is on the big side. You should be about 3 pounds 8 ounces right now. I hope you aren't too big of a baby when you are born. Maybe I should lay off the ice cream? Nah...we both like it too much! You were moving all around in there and you made some very sad and mad faces. Then the lady was poking at you, trying to get you to move so she could get a good picture and you started kicking back. Funny. You were opening and closing your eyes and you stuck out your tongue. I was loving every minute of it! Here are some cute pictures of you! (You will come to see that I am kind of a picture fanatic. You will definitely be used to the camera!)



So Squished!
Chubby Cheeks!

You're definitely a boy!

Look at that chin...

Your cute little hand by your face.

Hiccup, Hiccup

Dear Baby,

You had the hiccups for the first time yesterday. There have been a few times I have wondered but haven't really been sure. Yesterday I am positive you had hiccups. It was almost like a kick, but not as strong and it was constant, every second or so for 6 or 7 minutes. Dad was by me and could feel them too. It was kind of fun for me to feel them.

Today is New Year's Day. This is the year you will be born, and therefore I know it will be a great year! You are going to make every holiday and every special occasion so much better than it would be without you. Between now and March 15th, when you are due, I have a lot of work to do! We have two baby showers family are going to have for you and dad and I are going to take a parenting class. I need to buy a ton of things to prepare for your arrival and I'm still waiting on our rocking chair to come in. I also want to read some parenting books to make sure I'm as prepared as possible to take care of you the best I can! I can't wait to see you!

Love you,

Mom
