More Fun Stuff for ME!
Aunt Abby, Uncle Nate, and Elle gave me this cute bear and blanket for Christmas! It matches my room colors, green and teal (?). We did a little shopping at the outlet malls in Columbus! Mom and Abby could have spent all day there shopping!
Here is an outfit i gave Daddy for Mommy and Daddy's 2nd Wedding Anniversary on November 3rd. Yes, kind of a selfish gift, but i will be able to wear it next year when the Rays go back to the World Series and WIN!!!

Week 17 Check Up
Mom and I got a clean bill of health at the doctor's office today. We got to meet Dr. McNeil. He is a pretty cool guy. Mommy got to hear my heart beat. It was 145 beats per minute! Mom has only gained one pound in the past month. And I gained 1 ounce since last week making me about 5 ounces and 5 inches from head to rump! The size of a turnip! Mom has to get more lab work drawn this week to make sure i am developing okay, then in 2 weeks they will do an ultrasound of all my body parts.

Mommy at 13 Weeks
Oh yeah, Mommy....Mommy is much better now that the 1st trimester is officially over. She has much more energy, no more nausea, but still dealing with heartburn (thanks to me!)!

Mommy's Birthday
Uncle Chris and Aunt Kiera gave me a Whinnie the Pooh pillow, which mom and dad can write all my birth information on when i am born!
Aunt Abby, Uncle Nate, and Elle (91/2 mo.) also spoiled mom and I!! I got some toys to play with in the bath tub (sea squirters so i can squirt water on mom and dad), a book, Goodnight Moon, some long sleeve newborn onsies and some warm socks (which i can't wait to lose, right Elle?)! I will be all set when i come out of the womb! Abby also sent mommy a ton of maternity clothes!
My Aunt Kathy also got me some onsies and mom a really pretty maternity top!
Thanks everyone for all our gifts! Mom and I feel very special and loved! I can't wait to play with all my new toys and wear my new clothes!
Week 12 Ultrasound
"him or her," or "it" (so cold), so we decided on a gestation name: Addy! Addy came about because mom and dad like the name Addison for a girl and Brady for a boy so combined (first two letters and last two letters) you have Ad-dy!

Meeting Nai Nai
Mom and Dad are still trying to decide if they want to find out if i am a boy or a girl. They say they are going to wait, but i have a feeling my mom's curiosity is going to get the best of her and she will be examining the next few sono pictures of me with a fine tooth comb for a "5th" extremity!
Rima Auntie also spoiled my mom with some Maternity Shirts. I guess it's not all about "me" after all!

I almost forgot...
When I got to hear my Uncle Ron's voice for the first time he said "I love you Saturday!" He didn't know it yet, but i asked mom to deliver a special message to him on one of my bibs that i will wear once i am out of this joint saying, "Uncle Ron, I love you Saturday!" Uncle Ron and Aunt Kathy "got it" right away when mom held the bib up in front of her belly! Mom made "I love you" bibs for every day of the week for Uncle Ron, so when he babysits me (all week), he will know i love him too, i just can't say it yet!
That same weekend i got to hear the voices of my cousin Laura and Jordan. I can't wait to go to their wedding in May and meet them in person. That will be my first visit to Ohio/Kentucky/Indian when i am on the "outside!" Laura is Janelle's sister. I have yet to meet their other sibling, Philip. So far i am 4/5 for hearing all of the Paff family voices. They seem pretty nice, so i will try not to spit up on them when i meet them in person.

My Mom found out she was pregnant with me the morning of July 18th right after my dad went to work. She wanted to tell dad in a "FUN" way so she did not call him and tell him right away. First, she had to call my Aunt Abby, because she promised her a phone call right away when the test came back with two double lines (in the "p" test world that means positive). She also needed another creative mind to help surprise Dad with the news about ME. Aunt Abby had some good suggestions like serving "Baby" Ruths for dessert along with the "Baby" back ribs, "Baby" carrots, and "Baby" corn mom fixed for dinner. (Don't worry my mom didn't cook, she got the ribs from OutBack. After all she didn't want to be a single mom, poisoning dad with her cooking)! All I can say is i hope i got my mom's "Smarts" because it took my Dad a little while to understand what the meal meant! Dad finally got it and him and mom
went "crazy in the kitchen!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP6lpaz80-E
I guess "I am kind of a Big Deal!"
I got to travel on a big airplane to Cincinnati, OH last weekend to hear the voices of my Aunt Melissa, Uncle Todd, Grandpa Mike, Grandma Lee, Grandpa Jack, Great Grandma Paff, Great- Grandpa Paff, Great-Godfather Ed, Great-Aunt Joyce, Cousins Janelle and Doug, and a lot of mommy's high school friends!
I was so confused mom told me we were going to Ohio, however we landed in Kentucky at the "Cincinnati" Airport, then went across the River to Indian where my Uncle Todd and Aunt Melissa live. Then i finally got to go to Ohio where my Grandma Lee and Grandpa Jack live on Sunday. My Dad stayed home to rest as he just got back from Hong Kong and to take care of Callie and Foster (who have no idea that their lives are about to change drastically when i am born)!
On Saturday Grandpa Mike picked mom and me up from the airport and we went to a place called LaRosa's. My mom told me that this is the best pizza place in the world, i would have to agree! Aunt Melissa met us there but Uncle Todd was at a fishing tournament. We broke the news to Aunt Melissa, Uncle Todd, and Grandpa by giving them a small baseball glove with a ball to keep in Ohio/Indiana (wherever)!! so they can teach me how to play when i come to visit. Aunt Melissa and my mom used to play softball together for Seton High School. That is how they first became friends and how Aunt Melissa met mommy's brother, my Uncle Todd. I told my Uncle Todd that i promise to be quite unlike my mom, when he takes me fishing. I can't wait for Grandpa Mike to come to my ball games when i am big enough to cheer me on, just like he did for mom!
On Saturday night i got to experience NewPort, Kentucky. Mom and Aunt Melissa went to their high school reunion where i got to meet Aunt Marlene, Sara, Megan, Kristen, and Laura. These are my mom's high school friends. Marlene was the first to figure we were up to something when mom told the server, "I'm fine with water." We had a good time, but i don't understand why all mommy's friends kept putting their glasses up to mom's belly saying, "Cheers to Baby Chang!" all night!
Sunday morning we went to Grandma Lee and Grandpa Jack's house for brunch. I now know that this is my favorite meal! I got to eat breakfast and lunch at the same time! Grandma Lee made yummy casseroles, which makes me think that there is hope in the cooking department for my mom! Grandma Lee and Grandpa Jack got a little brag book to put all my pictures in and a bib to keep that says "I love Grandpa." Mom's cousin Janelle and husband Doug, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Ed, and Great Grandma and Grandpa were also there! We ate and listened to stories from my Great Grandma, Grandma, Great Aunt Joyce, about their pregnancies and raising children!
Mom has been feeling pretty good, she just needs to eat every few hours so she doesn't feel sick. And she is tired a lot, i guess i take up a lot of her energy! Hopefully next month mom will have more energy when i am finished developing all my important organs i won't need a lot of "fuel," just room to grow!
Well, i better get back to growing and sucking the life out of mom!! I will post more soon!
