Baby Girl in 3D

Today we got to see our baby girl in 3D!  It is confirmed that she has my genes, because she wasn't overly cooperative.  She didn't want to show us half of her face and slept through most of the ultrasound.  Apparently we were interrupting her naptime, because she kept turning away from the camera.  We did get to see half of her face though, which I think is pretty cute!  She has very puffy cheeks and lips - not sure who she gets those from.  At one point, she looked like she was pouting with her lips out.  We think she is beautiful already and can't wait to meet her in person and see what/who she looks like.  Here are a few pictures from our ultrasound:



This is probably the best picture we got and was one of the first ones taken! HA!





Everyone should try to poke their eye out with their foot





Rubbing her eye



We love you already Baby Girl!!

Pregnancy Update

It seems like the weeks are going by quickly, and I never have time to catch up on blogging.  So here is the latest update on Baby Fender!

29 Weeks

Size of Baby? Acorn squash - Approximately 2.5 lbs

Maternity Clothes?  Yes – except for when I'm lounging around the house

Weight Gain? Approximately 12 lbs.

Stretch Marks? None so far

Gender? GIRL!!

Sleep?  I toss and turn throughout the night, so my sleep isn’t that great.
Movement?  I am pretty sure she is part ninja!  I feel like sometimes she is going to come out of my skin she is moving around and kicking me so much.
Cravings?  None really this week

What I miss? My endurance and an occasional glass of wine

Symptoms?  Lots of moodiness and irritability.  Luckily my husband, boss and co-workers are very patient with me.  I can go from angry to crying in less than 10 seconds.  HA!
Best moment of the week? Seeing sweet girl in 3D!  And from week 28 – celebrating baby Fender’s BFF and her mommy at a baby shower.  We can’t wait to see both of our girls together and for them to be best friends!

And to catch up from the missed weeks:



27 weeks - bad self portrait but one nonetheless



28 weeks - with mine and Baby Fender's BFFs!!

We are having our first shower this weekend and are so excited to see everyone.  Have a great week!!

26 Weeks

I was on a roll with blogging for a while.  Sorry I have been absent the last couple of weeks!!  These pictures are from last week - technically my 25 week photo session.

How far along?  26 weeks

Size of Baby Fender? About the size of a head of lettuce

Maternity Clothes?  Yes – except for when I'm lounging around the house

Weight Gain? Approximately 10 lbs.

Stretch Marks? None so far

Gender? GIRL!!

Sleep?  I am having very weird dreams, so my sleep comes and goes.  I mostly toss and turn most of the night

Movement? She is moving around like she is in Zumba class.  It does give me peace of mind to feel her constantly.

Cravings? Fruit!

What I miss? My endurance and an occasional glass of wine

Symptoms?  Baby girl is boycotting red meat now, which is totally fine.  It takes me longer to figure out what I want to eat, because I get worried I will feel sick.

Best moment of the week? Technically this was week 24, but we went and visited our goddaughters and their family for a few days.  We had so much fun with them, and I am always sad when we leave.  Remi finally got to "meet" her godsister, and I think she loves the baby more than me now!  HA!

Have a great week and enjoy your Super Bowl parties!
