The baby is now about 16 inches long and weighs about 3 ½ to 4 pounds. The skin is wrinkled at this pregnancy stage but is developing layers of fat under the skin making the baby look a little rounder. Fine downy hair called lanugo and vernix a protective cover is enveloping the baby’s body. [...]

26 Weeks!

Hello all,
…and welcome to my 26th week. Just a quick update to fill you in. Last week I was a bit sick again, I think it must have been a bug or something but I am feeling much better now and Remmy is more energetic than ever. He’s like a little alien trying to escape [...]

The baby’s development is going on at a steady rate during the 26 weeks pregnant stage. The baby’s approximate length is about 9 to 10 inches. This is the crown to rump length and it does not include the measurements of the legs. The baby will approximately weigh around 2 pounds at the 26 weeks [...]

Get ready for pat-a-cake! Baby’s hands are now fully developed and he spends most of his awake time groping around in the darkness of your uterus. Brain and nerve endings are developed enough now so that your baby can feel the sensation of touch. That doesn’t mean he can feel it when his father pokes [...]

Last night I had a dream about the Jess & baby. I woke up about 5:00 am from this dream. I thought the “time” was ironic because it was around the time she found out she was pregnant. In the dream, I was very much asleep so much not even a telephone call could wake [...]

So, it’s safe to say that I am now enormous compared to week 22. Many things are different and changing everyday with the little one. Every morning before Marshall leaves he puts his hand on my tummy and says good morning to him and Remmy gives him two kicks to say hi back. It’s the [...]

Your baby isn’t just sitting around (on your bladder) doing nothing, he’s working hard preparing for life outside the womb—perfecting his lungs and packing on the pounds. He’ll gain ½ pound this week alone. Other highlights this week:
Things are starting to get a little crowded inside the old womb as baby grows bigger and bigger. [...]

Houston, We Have a Kick!

I am SO excited! After countless weeks of jealously watching my wife experience Remmy’s various tickles, pokes, and flutters, my day had finally arrived!
I got up early (well, 8:15) this morning to get ready for school at nine. After taking my shower and getting my things together, I stopped back in the bedroom to say [...]

Your baby’s got a while to go before his lungs will be ready for air and is practicing his “breathing” on the amniotic fluid—sucking it in and out of his lungs. Fat production is in overdrive at this point (for the baby, not you! Well, OK, maybe for the baby and you). Your baby will [...]

Commonalities

I do realize I’m tempting the powers that be when I say this, but I’ll say it anyway. I’ve come to the stark realization that it’s been over a month since we had our last visit to the hospital! I know, I can’t believe it either. Hopefully things will stay that way, until due time [...]

So it’s a little crazy thinking that we have more weeks behind us than ahead of us. I’ve found, though, that’s definitely shaping up to be a good thing; Jess is definitely starting to feel a little bit antsy. She said to me today, “I wish I could just have the baby, but not have [...]

So we recently had our diagnostic ultrasound (the only one we’ve scheduled so far!), which the doctors look at to make sure everything is developing as expected. The appointment went well (aside from a little nausea), and the ultrasound tech said everything looked good from what she could see. She said Remmy was 15 ounces [...]

Over Christmas Jess and I visited my family in South Carolina. Here’s some pictures of our experience (because you don’t just visit the Klickmans, you experience them!).

Hello All,
I can’t believe how big Remmy is now. Marshall pointed out today that the baby is as big as his 11″ foot. I thought, the baby is that big? Well at least I don’t feel that big… : ) In other news, we just got back from our South Carolina trip with Marshall’s family [...]

In keeping with the spirit of the new year, I thought it would be fitting to display a little showcase of what’s to come in (can you believe it?) about 5 months! Over the Christmas break, Jess and I went to a place called “Moms-To-Be”, which specializes in presentational ultrasounds and maternity spa treatments. Before [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
