My Ribs...

…are killing me!  Baby boy…what are you doing to mommy?!  LOL  I haven’t felt him kick around in a few days, but felt him this morning.  I have a feeling he’s going to be kicking me really hard soon.

Starting my 6^th month today!  I can’t believe how time is flying by so fast.  Before we know it you’ll be here little man!  We can’t wait to meet you. J

Best Day!

So our UPS guy comes today and has a box. He looks at me and says "I think these are for you". Me? It's was box of flowers. I was like who is gonna send me flowers? I open the box and the card reads:

"Babe, thanks for all that you are doing for me while I'm away. I wish I could be there with you and I can't wait to come home and see you and our son. I love you so much. Muah! -Love, Me”

I'm so so happy! You made my day babe! As I said to you today...you made my heart flutter. I love you and miss you so much!

Week 22

So now we're closer to the finish line :) From now until week 24 our little boy is the size of a papaya. LOL



A little papaya...how cute :)

Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop. --courtesy of thebump.com

Our son (wow, that sounds weird..our son) has been moving around. I'll have to start jotting down what time of the day he moves around the most. I guess I'll just post it on here every time I feel some movements. I've noticed that it's mostly in the late afternoon and night. My belly is getting bigger every day. I've seen some pictures of women that are as far along as I am and they are much bigger...but everyone carries differently I guess. I have a small frame so maybe that's why. Dunno. I've been playing music for him and reading him books at night. Our favorite right now is Good Night Moon...a classic. :) I have classical cds that I play along with a new one that I just bought made by Parenting magazine. It's cute. It has all the nursery rhymes on it. I play the nursery rhymes in the car on my way to work and the lullabies on my way home. He gets a little of both.

I've been doing some research on the benefits of classical music to babies. Studies have shown that playing classical music won't make your baby smarter. It may soothe your infant, but "the presence or absence of classical music did not significantly affect student performance on tests." - July issue of Psychological Science

So, I've been playing a little bit of everything for our little boy. Some classical, lullabies and nursery rhymes...oh and lets not forget today's top 40 LOL.

Week 21

From www.3dpregnancy.com

By now your baby looks like a mini-version of what she'll look like when she's born. All his facial features are formed and hair is growing on his head. He’s even acting like a baby and will occasionally suck his thumb or yawn. Aww ...

Baby's heartbeat is getting stronger and can be heard using a good old-fashioned stethoscope.

Frame pictures from a favorite artistic gift wrap, children's book or wall calendar (skip your husband's Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition). Good idea

Week 20 Belly Pic

Here is my 20 week belly pic. I can't believe how big it's getting :)







Our little boy is moving around a lot. I can feel it, but they are still not strong enough for someone else to feel them. A few more weeks I guess.
