Week 17 Check Up

Hello to all my followers,

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.

Aunt Peggy and Mary Frances made me a really cool blanket and gave it to me while they were in town this past week. Pa Pa Jack, Me Ma Lee, Mom and I went to look for cribs and started a baby registry for me! My Aunt Colleen who i fianlly got to meet in person, from the womb, gave me a little rubber duckie that says NAVY on it! I made sure that Callie and Foster know this is NOT their toy!

Dad gets back from Australia on Friday and i told him to bring me some baby UGGS afterall that is where they are made!!

Oh and mom wouln't mind a pair too!! :)

Love,

Addy

Mommy at 13 Weeks

Sorry, I realize this is a little late, but here is a picture of mommy at 13 weeks! We are now 15 weeks along and i am doing all kinds of cool stuff. I have been able to suck my thumb for the past two weeks, move all around and soon mommy will feel me moving! I am about 41/2 inches long and weigh 13/4 ounces. About the size of a softball!

Aunt Colleen,

I thought you might like to know that my bones have already formed and are getting harder and retaining calcium! You can impress one of your attendings saying at 15 weeks gestation, if you took an x-ray you would be able to see my skeleton! But you probably already knew that!

Mommy's Aunt Peggy and cousin Mary Francis are coming to visit from Cincinnati, OH on Tuesday. Then Me Ma Lee and Grandpa Jack get in on Friday. We are going to do some shopping for ME!! It is about time my mom and dad start preparing for my arrival and getting my room ready! Then on Friday Aunt Colleen is going to be in Sarasota briefly before she goes to San Diego for her last Ortho rotation. Yeah, i finally get to hear Aunt Colleen's voice in person, well from the womb anyway (Hey it is much better than speakerphone!)

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!)!

Daddy is in Melbourne Australia right now working hard with Kangaroos and Koala Bears. We miss him, especially his cooking and ice cream runs! Mommy and I are jealous we wanted to go with him! Instead Mommy and I got to go to Kansas City for a Cerner Health Conference! We didn't even get to see Dorthy or the Wicked Witch!

Daddy,

We expect lots of pictures from your weekend trip to Sydney!!

Love,

Addy
