29 Week Update

Mommy is sick. She has been miserable since Friday. First all stopped up, then her nose ran like never before. She thought she had gotten over it for a minute, but nope, it's still lingering. She thinks it's moving into her chest. This is not good for me because when she coughs i feel it. Not to mention she is getting dad sick.

Well we went for my appointment yesterday, and I gained some more weight. I am now approximately 2 pounds 8 ounces. Mommy thinks I am gaining weight to fast, but dad thinks I am right on target. We'll see who wins this argument when I'm born.

A cousin is born

My cousin Ava was supposed to be born on January 27, 2009, but she couldn't wait. Ava Jean Childs was born at approximately 12:20 a.m. on December 28, 2008. She weighed in at a healthy 5 pounds 9 ounces. Mommy is hoping to be so lucky with me. Mom is sick right now so she can't take me to see my new cousin, but I know she is beautiful. Hope she likes lady bugs.

28 Week Update

Ok so mom and dad drove me out to Glendale this morning. Oh yeah Miss Aisha came with us to. So why were in glendale might you ask. We were getting a 4D ultrasound. Really it's the same as a 3D ultrasound with the added dimension of time. Not that it was needed since as we already know I'm not much of a mover. So we arrive and mom fills out their bs waiver about this scan being for entertainment purposes only, and dad pays the lady for my session.

We start the session, and I and not up for being seen. I mean really it's Saturday morning and I need my beauty rest. So I cover my face with my hand, and they just keep looking at me. When I don't move (duh), they start shaking mom's belly to wake me up. So that they can leave me alone, and I can get back to sleep I move my hand out of the way. Well that didn't help much since I my feeding tube (the umbilical cord) was covering more than half my face. Well away they kept snapping, and moving mom back and forth. Finally they got a few clear pictures of me and just that fast - it was over. Mom wasn't exactly excited with the results, but she was overjoyed to see me. Check out the 3D shots of me on the photo page.

Alright talk to you next week.

27 Week Update

I'm gaining weight. Mom and dad went for my 27 week appointment today. Well I'm gaining weight. I weighed 2 lbs today. Despite gaining 11 oz in three weeks, I am still measuring 3 days small. That's it for now. I'll update you guys later.

I'm growing or something

I figure I must be going through a growth spurt. I am making mom eat more than ever. I am hungry like every hour. Mom doesn't know how to deal with this sudden onset of ferocious eating. I don't think she likes it, but a growing boy needs his nourishment.

Mom took me L & D again

I have been causing mom some moderate discomfort for the past two days. Strong, tight feeling in her belly. Not contractions just a really tight painful feeling. Doesn't make her feel so hot. Well to top things off, mom went to the restroom, and didn't like what she saw. So off to L & D to see if everything was ok. They hooked mom up to the baby monitors, so she got to hear my heart beat. That always makes her feel better. Mom's nurse Julia was really nice and Dr Malik from our unfortunate visit in the ER was there to help mom out again. In the end everything was fine, they just think mom should rest a bit more.
