Roseanna's Little Banana

I had another Dr's. appointment this past Monday. No ultrasound this time though. It's not as much fun when I can't see my little man. I heard his heart beat though and it's good and strong. He is right on target according to my Dr., who I finally got to meet. Her name is Dr. French and she seems to be a good match. Still no name for the little one so hang in there. We will let you all know once we have decided. Who knew the naming process would be so difficult! We have agreed on baby bedding. I love the nursery theme and hope you do to.

Our little guy is the size of a banana this week. My dad always called me Roseanna Banana so I guess that has some genuine meaning to it this week ;0) He is weighing in at 12.7 ounces and is about 10.5 inches long. He is working hard at gaining fat to store on his bones. I have been pretty helpful with this as I have already packed on 20 lbs. andhave been an ice cream monster lately. Today I'm craving something spicy and am wishing there was some Indian or Creole food closer to my office but I'll just have to forfil that craving at dinner tonight. Overall I've been feeling pretty good. My belly is definatley reshaping and looking pretty pregnant these days.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

We're 1/2 Way There!

It's week 20 already, well tomorrow will be, which means we are half way through this pregnancy. Time is going by fast. I moved in with Jamie this past weekend and am getting settled. Jamie's daughters Emma (5) and Lyla (2) are very excited for thier baby brothers arrival. I tell them he will be coming early summer and Emma asks if that's before Valentines Day. Too Cute. We still haven't decided on a name for our little man yet but are working on it, so stay tuned! My dad/Grampy wanted me to let you all know that he knew it was a boy all along. He has been calling him baby Jake from the get-go. I mentioned in an earlier posting that my mom and I were guessing he was a boy and I did'nt mean to leave Big Pops out...lol!














What's Going On With Baby?
He is weighing in at about 10 ounces this week and is measuring approximately 16 centimeters from crown to rump. Now that all his organs are developed and systems are working on their own, so he is just working on growing big and strong for his arrival. I have been feeling him move around more frequently and am loving it. It's not occurring every day but a few times a week. Within the next two weeks it should pick-up. He tends to be up and about when I'm winding down for the night. My pancake kick has subsided a little. I've gone back to my old egg eating ways with a pancake here and there. Hot fudge sundaes is what I'm talking about these days!
