Their Lil Sweet Pea...

Hey everyone! Last week was such a busy week for me, but this week is the week when all the fun really starts. I am about the size of a sweet pea this week! 
Here's a picture:

I am starting to get these beady little things on my face, I think they are called eyes. Also, there's this bump starting to grow, called a nose. My chinny chin-chin is forming and so are my sweet cheeks everyone will NOT be pinching... (that's right, no pinching my cute baby cheeks). My hands and feet are webbed like a duck still, but when I'm born, I'll have ten little fingers and ten little toes for Mommy to count. Oh, lookie there, I can wiggle these hands and feet, that'll be nifty one day. 
This week also marks a huge feat for me! My heart will be beating by the end of the week, something Mommy and Daddy are so excited about!! 
Friday, Mommy and Daddy went to their doctor for a "real" pregnancy test and the doctor came in and said, "It's a Happy Day! Congratulations!" Mommy and Daddy were so excited! Now they get to make an appointment with an OB-GYN to start making sure Mommy and I stay healthy for the next few months. 
This week is supposed to be the week Mommy gets really sick, but I think that she's just felt a little nauseous the past couple of weeks, no rushes to the bathroom (knock on wood). But, Mommy has been really tired lately and hopes that her energy will pick up soon. 

The Apple of Their Eye

It's me again! I hope everyone is doing okay, no heart attacks or fainting allowed, I'm just the best thing to ever happen on Earth, not that big of a deal! Tomorrow is my 5 week birthday, I am donning the apple seed/tadpole look right about now, not my best look, but I hear beauty gets better with age.
Here's a picture:



I don't think my not-so-cuteness matters though because Mommy told me today that I am the apple of her eye and she can't wait to give me lots of hugs and kisses. There are some pretty neat things going on with me this week... I am developing all of my major body organs, like my heart and tummy. I am also developing my nervous, circulatory, and digestive systems. This is good news to Mommy and Daddy because soon they will be able to hear and see my little heart beating. Mommy is so tired now, her body is busy, busy, making all of my inner workings. She is POOPED and kind of moody, but I know once she hears my heart beating, and sees me, and feels me moving around in her tummy she will be very, very happy.   

HELLO!

• Thanksgiving turkey: $15.00
• Fuel to see the family: $40.00
• Spoon for Nanny's Chocolate/Spoon Pie: $0.50
• One more mouth to feed: PRICELESS! 

That's right, I am on my way and cannot wait to meet all of the beautiful people Mommy has been telling me about. She says I'm going to be the first grand-baby in her family, that's a pretty big deal if you ask me!! :-D  I am so excited to meet my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, all of my cousins, my great-grandparents, and I'm most excited to meet Mommy and Daddy! The weeks and months up to my arrival I am going to keep all of you updated on what's going on with me. Right now, I am barely visible to the naked eye, but I am definitely here... just ask Mommy, she'll tell you. I am about the size of a poppy seed (those little black things you see on bagels that make such a huge mess). 

Here's a picture:

Mommy had to prove I was here by buying two of these stick thingies, it was so neat, a plus sign immediately appeared twice! I felt Mommy's heart beating SO fast and then her stomach jumped (that didn't feel so great)!

Mommy was so excited, she couldn't wait to tell Daddy about it. She ran to the store and bought my first onsie and wrapped it up in green (it was St. Patty's Day, so she knew Daddy would just think it was a silly St. Patty's Day gift) and put it on the table with dinner. Daddy opened it up after we prayed and guess what he found?Daddy was so shocked! 

Mommy made her first appointment to have the tests confirmed by a doctor and make sure she does everything she can to keep both of us super healthy! I am pretty excited to meet Mommy and Daddy, they are already telling me they love me so much and they haven't even met me, yet.
