Okay....well....here are the belly pics so far.....I have to say, though....that it can depend on the day for how bog I look....But here we go.  I really just look fat at the current stage.  The first was around 9 weeks...the second is about 13 weeks and the last one is 16 weeks.

4 months

Today I am 4 months pregnant.  And today was the first day that someone asked me if I was pregnant, so I got excited.  I'm pretty big actually.  Julian took a pic, but I just look fat, but I will probably post a pic soon...


I should start feeling the baby within the next few weeks.  He/she is the size of an avocado these days...and his litle heart supposedly is pumping 25 quarts of blood a day for now...I am going for genetic testing tomorrow.  Other than that....not too much goin on.

15 weeks

Hello!  


Well ... getting over a cold....The thing that sucks is no meds really can be used except tylenol....and with hypertension medicine, you have to limit that.  So I am on a popsicle and soup diet.  It's delicious.

The baby is pretty much the same as before but bigger.  It is about 4 inches long and the size of an apple (so says my baby website).  I am going for the genetic testing next week... so that's about it.  I'm showing a lot more now.  I have wondered if I have felt the baby move a few times but nothing for sure yet.   Still throwing up here and there...but starting to feel MUCH better over all.  Second trimester is def. a good part.

One of my students made a quilt for the baby and it was so cute.  

Julian is picking me up for dinner....so I must go.

Does anyone have a vote for the sex of the baby?  I find out the week after Easter.

Here are the latest pics of the baby...In the first pic you can see the baby's feet and spine...In the second pic, you can actually see its face (which is kinda freaky).  The face is off to the left.




Wednesday makes me 14 weeks... 
This week the baby's scalp pattern is being determined this week.  He or she is busy peeing, sucking his thumb (if he chooses) and makes other facial movements.  The liver is making bile.  Awesome.  The baby is the size of a lemon (prob a little lemon...not a big, huge lemon).

13 weeks

The end of the first trimester is close in sight....thank goodness...


2 more to go.....and that's scary in itself.....bc than i won't be puking...i will be cleaning up the baby's puke. and poop.  and pee. grrreat. 

I read today that the baby already has fingerprints (oh and it has finger nails too... "Finger nails....... reallly?  huh."- juno)  How cute is that, though....little finger prints to leave on the world.   If it's a girl, she has over 2 million eggs in her ovaries already.  And God help us if it is a girl when her eggs start a-droppin.  He or she is about 3 inches now. 

This baby site gives this idea to have both parents write down "my mother always" and "My mother never" and then same for fathers....so that we could develop traits that we agree on for parenting....  Now, I could be wrong....but I bet that Julian's and my lists will look VERY different.  His will look like this:

"My mother always went to Church each Sunday.  My mother had dinner on the table by 6.  My mother went to Noah's bagels each day for me and served it to me with love."

Mine will look like this,
"My mother told me that Fuck is an appropriate word to use when expressing my feelings.  My mother believed one shouldn't drive unless drunk.  My mother always said that if you don't like something about your body, you can pay and get what you want! (as she would point to her chest saying proudly '5 thousand....and 5 thousand' "  God love the woman. 

So I'll run the idea by Julian and see what he thinks.

Walt

Well....We dropped the dog off with his new family....it was realllllly hard.  We gave him one week before he became theirs..... He didn't even last 24 hours before they decided that they could't do it.  It makes me wonder how much we put up with for years....so now Julian is going to put him at his mom and dad's until we can give him to someone else.


apparently Walt barked all night and then attacked their rotweiller.....I do mean he was biting her on the face and had to be physically pried off of the dog.  I wish the other dog would have kicked his ass to teach him a lesson....They mentioned that he seemed to be really aggressive for a little dog.....well, I tried to tell them.

That's all for now!

Walt

Well, the time has come to find Walt a new home...

 
So...we posted him on Craigslist and got 2 responses...1 of them seems promising.  We told her that we would be happy to let her do a trial run with him...take him home for a week and then make up her mind.  He isn't the easiest dog to deal with and the last thing we want his him ending up in a pound

And so here I am...about 4 hours away from watching him go home with someone else.  I know that it's the best thing for him, us, and the baby...especially since he gets angry near toddlers (don't know why).  He needs more attention than we can give him...ad we will have less attention for him in a few months....

He bit julian again the other night and he told me Friday morning that we were getting rid of him this weekend....he was right.  So we will keep you posted on what happens with the dog situation.

As for the baby, I can't feel anything yet and I don't feel like I've gotten fatter.  So this week I've probably worried unnecessarily...I am just enjoying being able to sleep through a night....becayse the bigger I get, the harder it will be.

Until next time :)
