Your baby has established sleep patterns akin to a newborn now. Many babies even have a favorite sleep position already. Some snooze with their chins resting on their chests, while others nap with their head flung back. Many babies at this age fall into noticeable cycles of sleep and activity, so you may know before [...]

What Dreams May Come

So, I’m a bit overdue in writing about this, but I must share. Since my wife had been the one having all the sleepy-time fun, I decided to have some dreamy-dreams of myself.
I must confess that I’ve been feeling a little jealous that Jess has been the only one to feel the little dude/ette moving [...]
Merry Christmas!

Your baby’s sensory development is exploding! His brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don’t be shy about reading aloud, talking to him, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Your baby weighs about [...]

Marshall and I had a really good time today getting our Christmas picture taken by no other than the talented and our good friend Mindy. If you want to check out her work, her website is www.lilleyphoto.com. So a little update… I have been feeling much better lately since the last horse-pistol visit. I can [...]

18 Week Belly Shot

So we’re here… 18 weeks. I can’t believe that I am almost half way through to becoming a mom and to have a little tiny, wiggly baby in my arms. I can’t wait to have a closet full of clothes, hats and little shoes. Will it be blue or will it be pink? Patience Miema [...]
You Guessed It: Another Hospital Visit
Posted in Doctor Visits, Second Trimester on December 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Since it had been a whole entire week since the last time we made a trip down to good ol’ Winnie Palmer Hospital, I figured we should go back so we didn’t start to go through horse-pistal withdrawal. It turned out to be a very convenient decision, because Jess was feeling nauseous (yes, still) and [...]

Had another dream that…
Posted in Second Trimester, Sweet Dreams... on December 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It was a girl. Clear as day, I said is it a boy or girl? Marshall showed me “the area” and it was a girl. I said it to myself again and stared to cry… That was it, I guess we will find out soon enough if my dreams are true.

The baby is about 61/2 inches long and weighs 4 ounces. The umbilical cord becomes stronger, thicker and longer as the weeks advance and carries blood and nutrients to the growing baby. The baby’s sense of hearing is progressing as the ears move to their final position and the internal parts are well developed by [...]

BREAKING NEWS: We have movement!
Right around 12:30 a.m., as she was taking a relaxing bath, my wife told me that she felt something cold along the lower right side of her belly. She said it felt like a “flutter”, making a fluttering geture with her hand through the air. Putting her hand against the spot, [...]
