OK, first things first. Here's this weeks excerpt:
This week your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflowe
r) and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. He can now open and close his eyes, and he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if he were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and isn't bothersome to him, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what he's thinking?

Wonder what he's thinking?So this little excerpt got me thinking. Wow... our little bagel is already 2 lbs and about 14.5" long head to toe! Then I started to think how on average, most babies are born about 7lbs and maybe 19-20" long right? That kind of put things in perspective there. I mean, it's amazing and scary to think that it took me 6 months to get this little girl to 2 lbs and in just 3 more she's going to gain 5 more lbs and about 4more inches???? eeeek! I mean you always here that in the last trimester it comes on full blast with the growing belly, weight gain and all the other "wonderful" pains that come with it. But my goodness! That's a lot in such little time! Again, amazing and scary!
OK, but enough about that. HOW CUTE is this 3d ultrasound??? I know, it's not her but still. I can pretend can't I? I wonder when I'll have another ultrasound anyway. Hmmm... I seriously have no clue. I want to watch her moving in there!!! I think she really likes it when we watch American Idol because she is most active during that show! I wonder if they can do an ultrasound while we watch American Idol. haha! That would be pretty damn cool!So the other day I went to a clients to drop off some jobs. When I walked in, the optician working there asked if I was expecting. Well I thought that to be a little funny because I had noticed the last few times I came in she would stare at my belly and you could just tell she was wondering whether I was expecting or just putting on a few. She never said anything and so I never said anything either. haha! Is that wrong of me to just let her wonder? Ah, oh well. It's fun for me! Anyway, so she finally asks and I tell her I am. I should have said no at first shouldn't I? The look on her face would be priceless! hahaha! Anyway, I said yes and she got all excited and wondered why no one told her. Well now, I can't explain it. I mean as excited as I was to find out and am to be pregnant I really only announced it to family and friends. I didn't really go telling every client I talked to thereafter. Maybe she thinks we're tight like that. I don't know. Anyway, she asked if I was having a girl or boy, I told her a girl. We got to talking about other pregnancy related things and I mentioned how my brother was shocked when he learned we were having a girl just because boys are so prominent in our family; especially first borns.
She then asked how Mario is related to me. I told her that's my brother... the one I'm talking about. Then she said, "Well how come no one told me he was your brother! I'm going to have to get on him about that." Again, not something you really go announcing to all your clients because does it matter? hahah! ANYWAY... so here's the funny part.
This morning I was telling my brother about that whole conversation and he said she called him yesterday and morning and said, "Congratulations!" "Thanks... for what?" "You're going to be an uncle!" He then told me that he got nervous for some reason and stated to think, who's pregnant??? He said the news is old news and so it caught him off guard.
You know, that was a lot funnier at the time. Repeating it in this blog... not so much. Sorry you had to read through that. haha!
Well tomorrow's Juniors birthday! yay!!! More cake! hahaha!
