Here's a picture:
This week, you can call me "Smarty No-Pants." Why you ask? Well, my brain (both sides) is growing so fast, about 100 new cells every minute and I'm not wearing any pants!
I am feeling Daddy's genes giving me some math and mechanical skills (my arms and legs are growing so I can help him find his tools when we work on my car one day) and I'm feeling Mommy's genes giving me some literacy and creative skills (so I can read to my big brother Jr. and make lots of awesome art for her to put up in the house). I am also excited to say that these little bean things called kidneys are permanently in place, I'll be able to urinate soon... which is pretty amazing considering I'm only the size of a blueberry!
Speaking of the potty... Mommy is making lots of trips there these days. Give her some slack though, I am sitting right on top of her bladder and she is feeling more sickly the past few days (she is told, has read, and hopes that the sickness will pass in a couple of months-- the second trimester).
Mommy had an appointment on Friday with the baby doctor (the OB) and because Daddy has been working so hard, "Grandma" (I haven't really decided her real name yet) went with Mommy so she wouldn't be alone for this awesome event.
The doctor declared that my arrival date is November 24, 2011 (Thanksgiving week... which by the way is one day before Daddy's birthday... da-dun-daaaaa "Happy Birthday, forever, Daddy!") and that I am about one centimeter from my booty to my head. Mommy got to see my little "heart" flutter today and I got my very FIRST photograph taken (one of many that she will be taking, I am sure).
Take a look:
My booty is where the "X" is and my head is where the smaller "x" is on the right side. Mommy is *SO* excited, I felt her heart and tummy do flips when she saw me. I can't wait for Daddy to see me at the next appointment in about 4 weeks. But, he LOVED the picture Mommy showed him.
See you next week!
Amber,
