Mommy is excited to make some yummy Margarita and Pink Lemonade Cupcakes (in honor of ME-see how me and lemonade have something in common below) for Splash Day. I'm excited to hear everyone's voices since I won't be able to see them, yet! Maybe I'll get here just a little before Thanksgiving so I can see everyone and get lots of attention, but we will have to see how I am feeling.
Mommy went to her friend Julie's baby shower last weekend , which was beautiful (Julie's husband is Daddy's old youth minister, Carter, who is now their young marrieds class leader). God and baby Kyndall threw in a surprise when the Dr's said that Julie would have to deliver almost two months early. Their family has gone through a lot the past few weeks, but Kyndall is so lucky to have parents who love her so much and trust in God rather than themselves to make her strong and healthy! I can't wait to meet Kyndall, I bet she is an amazing girl!
Mommy and Daddy celebrated Daddy's last day at Discount Tire last week and celebrated the start of his new job (he starts Monday) by going to Ghengis Grill (I really like that place, so YUMMY).
Now about the important stuff, ME! This week I am about the size of a lemon.
Take a look:
I am over three inches from booty to head and hit the 1+ ounce mark in my weight. I have been really busy growing, and Mommy can definitely feel my house (her uterus) expanding and her back is really hurting, I don't think it feels too good, but she is happy because she knows the pain just means her body is changing because I am growing strong and healthy! She is also starting to feel and see a little bump coming along, too (it almost happened overnight!).
Mommy had a bunch of blood work done this week to make sure we are doing well. Mommy also got some new prenatal vitamins that she likes much better than the last ones (no nausea) and smaller pills. The new stuff has DHA which will help me have healthy eyes and may even help with my cognitive development (pretty important).
We have a Dr. appt in a couple of weeks so the Dr can check our progress and schedule a 3D sonogram where Mommy and Daddy MAY get to find out if I have a hoo-haa or a yee-haw! Daddy better start getting with the program and helping Mommy decide on a beautiful name just in case I'm his little princess (he still thinks I'm going to be his little boy). Mommy doesn't want him to jinx them, so she really wants to find a name, I think they both like the name Audrey Grace, but Daddy just won't decide until he hears which body parts I have (or don't)! Silly Daddy!
When doctors say you're the size of a lemon, make lemonade, or urine in my case. That's right, it's not super cute like cooing or snuggling up next to you, but it means my insides are practicing for the big day (the most important day in Mommy and Daddy's life, my entrance into the world). My intestines are getting filled with the poopy tar that will come out of my booty after I'm born, practice makes perfect poop!
The roof of my mouth is forming which will be nice to have when I am getting nourishment from Mommy and learning how to talk and eat solid foods. I am also practicing breathing, but I'm not breathing air like Mommy, but I am practicing none-the-less. My liver, kidneys, and spleen are continuing to grow. Lanugo (we'll call it baby fur) is growing all over me to keep me warm until I can make enough fat to keep myself warm, but don't worry, the baby fur will pretty much all shed off before the big day. I also now have fingerprints making me different from every other baby on the planet.
