baby girl

it's official, in june we will be a family with a new little girl. the ultrasound today revealed that our little girl is free of abnormalities, has a healthy heart and weighs about 1/2 pound. she moved around a lot and we got see a lot of her. at one point she was clenching and unclenching her fist. amazing!

17 weeks

jack wants to see inside my tummy for the baby. i hope i can prepare him enough for this little one. baby is growing big and i have been feeling flutters for a couple weeks now. those flutters are in the exact spot that i was feeling jack, kinda cool. baby makes it known that it doesn't like the tummy sleeping anymore. from now on, i am now on my side for the most part.

16 weeks along

week 16 for the sequel

baby is the size of an avocado and will be going thru a growth spurt in the next couple weeks. i think jack is doing the same, both intellectually and physically. his imagination is profound for he makes up stories about gardens and eating monsters.

snow prints

tonight we walked the block with our boots on and made footprints as we went along. jack loved looking up to the sky and catching snow on his face. it was very magical and an evening i won't forget.

first santa visit

last week of first trimester

next week my energy is going to return! i have had bouts of energy lately so i am hopeful. babychaud II is the size of a lemon and has many of it's reflexes that i just cannot feel yet. my belly is protruding a lot now, so the announcement of our newest baby came at a perfect time. bye bye abs for now, i will find you again in the fall.
