Week 15

This week the baby is about 4 inches, from crown to rump, and weighs around 2 1/2 ounces - roughly the size of an apple. Baby's legs are growing longer than its arms now, and it can move all of its joints and limbs. It's also busy in there practicing breathing and developing taste buds. Pretty exciting. We also have an ultrasound scheduled for Oct. 30, so we'll know whether the baby will being dressing up as a boy or a girl for Halloween.

Family Planning

This weekend we went to Babies R Us and Target to see what's what in the world of babies. There are so many options and so many things we'll need to pick up it's pretty overwhelming.

Here is a pic of Chris testing out a stroller for its wheelie capabilities:

Afterwards we stopped by a maternity store to look for clothes. They had these creepy bumps you could use to try on your clothes and plan for when you get bigger. Here is a pic of Em modeling the bump (in non-maternity clothes):

Too much cute baby stuff

Baby Makin' Progress

On Monday we had another check-up. We got to hear our baby’s heart beat. It was beating so fast! Apparently the heart beats really fast and will eventually slow down and match the mom’s. It was really special to hear that. Our midwife said everything else is on target and we’re looking great! In 6-8 weeks we’ll have another ultrasound where we can find out if we’re makin' a little boy or a little girl.

Em’s symptoms have cooled down which is nice. Just in time for starting CFA classes she has a little bit more energy. And, it’s Thursday which means it’s been 4 days since she last threw up!

Also, we’re starting to really see a baby bump. We’ll post baby bump pictures soon!
