Baby Cake

For those of you who have never been to Cake Wrecks, I kindly push you through your computer monitor to head over there (I'l even make it easy! Just click Cake Wrecks!)

And now that you understand edible humor, for anyone that even thinks of giving me this cake, I'm not sure if your House gets ten points or if I'll burst into tears . . .



I've posted an ultrasound picture. I'm pregnant, not fat. ;)

It's a . . .

Well, I went to the doctor today,

with Clark,

and the lady put some warm goop on me (weird)

and laid me back,

and checked out the length of the:

leg,
arm,
head,
belly,

and then proceeded to check out whether the baby was a 'he' or a 'she,'

and the lady doctor told us

that we're going to have a

little,

baby,

girl.

:D

We're super excited!

20 Weeks!

I'm officially halfway through my pregnancy! Hooray!

And, since a few of you have asked, here's a picture of me and what my belly looks like (and, yes, I do look completely horrible, but just focus on the tummy, okay?)

Baby Letter 2

Dear Baby,

Next week I'll know if we get to drown in pink for the rest of our lives or if Clark will have his wish of having a little athlete to train for the next 18 years. I'm excited (well, not for the pink. Anyone thinking of buying pink should redirect their thoughts to red, purple, green and other fun, jewel-toned colors) for you either way.

You just have to let me know if you're agreeable by punching me every once in a while, okay? Because the doctor lady wants you to. If I have to see her disappointed face one more time, I don't know what I'll do. And if you're anything like me, you just want a good nap instead of wiggling around all the time like your dad, but still. Just this once (well, more than once so I can make sure I'm not crazy) in the next week, please give me a little shout out.

Love,
Mom

Doctor Update #3

It was a nice, short doctor's visit. In and out in less than 20 minutes, and that involved walking to and from the car. :D

What I found out:

*I have been gaining weight (huzzah!)
*My blood pressure is "excellent"
*It's totally normal for me to not have felt the baby move, yet (honestly, this hasn't worried me up to this point. I figured I'd start to panic around week 20)
*The baby's heart rate is perfect (exactly 150 beats per minute)

In two weeks I'll know if we have a little boy or a sweet little girl to bring home this summer. :) Two weeks after that, I'll have my 24 week appointment and, the appointment after that, we'll be in the third trimester. Eep!
