13 Weeks!!

We are 13 Weeks!!
Mom has finally started to get some of her energy back and I know she and Dad are both thankful for that. Our next appointment is Wednesday, Feb. 4th. It's just a regular check up - no pictures this time.
Here's some pregnancy humor for you to enjoy until the next post:

The 5 Best Prenatal Yoga Poses
The Pringle. Lie on your back with a can of chips balanced on your stomach. See if you can eat them all before you fall asleep.
The Sneeze. As the sneeze approaches, squeeze your knees together, breathe in and out, and try to remember what it used to feel like to "hold it in." Keep this pose while you hobble to the bathroom to change your underwear.
The Calf Cramp. Try to stretch around your belly and rub your leg while simultaneously screaming loudly enough to wake everyone in your zip code.
The Pesto Burp. Bring your chin to your chest and exhale as silently as you can through your closed mouth. Reward yourself with a nice, meditative Fudgesicle.
The Sleeping Hip. Lie on your side until you lose all feeling. Roll onto your other side and repeat.

Namaste!

Congrats John & Elissa

John & Elissa welcomed a baby girl into the world this Monday. Addison Layne Sturchio was born at 6:30am and weighed 6lbs 11oz.
Wyatt and I are so excited about our new roles as aunt and uncle. After seeing John and Elissa with their new, amazing little girl - we are even more excited about becoming parents.

9 1/2 Weeks

Wow! Look at how much bigger I am!! I'm 9 1/2 weeks now and you can really see the changes since my 6 week photo. I'm now 3.33 cm and my heart rate is up to 175. Mom and Dad got a great look at me at today's (1/5/09) ultrasound. I was feeling pretty good so they got to see me move around a lot! Lucky parents!

So far...

Hi world!!! Here I am! Since Mom & Dad don't know if I'm a boy or a girl yet, they've decided to call me Crumb for now. (Dad calls Mom's hands crumb-snatchers because they are so little) They got to see me for the first time today. I just look like a little grain of rice but that's going to change soon enough. I'm about .47 cm right now and my heart rate is 110.
















Here is Mom at 7 weeks...





















Here is Mom at 8 weeks... she's been feeling pretty good but she sure does nap a lot. Dad says it's because she's so busy "baking". :)
