Hello, Baby

So this is kind of what you look like.

Wow. And to think you were just a little bean sac not too long ago :).

I'm thanking the Lord that you're kissing my placenta like it's the tastiest buffet you've ever had. Because that just means it's giving you what you need.

One set of your grandparents - that would be Mommy's parents - have seen this picture of you (yes, you have two sets). But both sides are so excited about you. Daddy's parents think about you everyday and call him just to tell him that. And mine are buying little button-down bodysuits for you.

Dr. Guna says you've got a long femur. So that could mean you're going to be a basketball player. Or a male model. Daddy's praying hard you will be the former.


I'm just over the moon that all your main internal organs are looking normal: Your brains, heart, kidney, lungs, bladder, lips. Although of course, your lips aren't exactly an internal organ. Apparently, some babies develop a cleft which makes eating quite a challenge for them, poor things. And some develop a hole in their hearts. Anyway, we'll pray for them together.

Dr. Guna also says that your movements will be erratic at best for now. This must explain why you were doing a lot of Cirq de Soleil moves last week but just a lot of pirouettes this week. I'm supposed to monitor your movements more closely next week which means keeping an eye and ear out for your thumping and kicking.

For today, your movements are as such:
9.10am - 5 little kicks.
2pm - 2 faint little knocks.
6.45pm - 3 little prods.
7.30pm - 2 little kicks.
9.30pm - 1 little push.
10.30pm - 2 little knocks.

Looks like you're going to be a nightowl.
