Keira's Baby Shower "Gifts"

6 1/2 months Preggo

How Keira's growing: This week, Keira weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, Keira's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now.

Latest News: I am back from California where i had an awesome time with the family. I got really sick the day after arriving with a really bad cold. My midwife says it's from the change of climates. Almost two weeks in and I'm just now feeling better. The pregnancy itself has been good. I did have my first scare when i got back. I hadn't felt Keira in about two days and i was scared something was wrong. Of course i panicked and we went to the emergency room where they let me hear her heartbeat. Boy was i relieved. FatBoy had told me all along it was normal and that maybe i just wasn't paying attention to her having been busy with the moving and all. So he was right! I was actually admitted and placed on a fetal monitor where we listened to Keira bounce around for about two hours making sure everything was normal and okay. I have to admit for my first baby six and a half months in isn't so bad for my just about panic attack :)

FatBoy and I have just about settled into the new house. It's slowly but surely coming together. I so hate moving! Its been so long and tedious. We are excited to see what our little man DJ thinks about the new house as today will be his first day back with us. We are excited and thrilled to see how he likes it. To our surprise there are like a million kids in the neighborhood many of which are his age which is great. Well, maybe not a million but they are everywhere.

Stay posted as i will be posting baby shower photos in the next day or so.... Thanks for visiting.

24 weeks

Here we are at 24 weeks
-No Signs of stretch Marks-

By the end of this week Keira will be weighing almost 2 lbs. FatBoy finally got to see Keira moving around in the belly as it is visible now. You can see her poking/kicking through my belly. I'm happy to know that she is splashing around in there training her muscles. Today was the big day that FatBoy and I went to buy my first items of Maternity clothing. I was down to one pair of jeans that fit( The ones you see in the above photos) and that's only because they button on the sides. Even though the weather is still nice and hot i think you can only wear dresses everyday for so long (thank Goodness there are plenty of them in my closet). It wasn't so bad i was happy to see that i am a size small in Maternity jeans :) that was a pleaser! I thought it was cool how they have a moc baby bump that you strap on to your stomach in the dressing room to make sure when you are trying clothes on there will be enough room in the weeks to come. It's also been nice that i keep getting "Cute Belly" comments from random woman when i'm out. I always wanted to be one of those woman you see pregnant who still look Sexy and cute. That's a "Thank Goodness" from FatBoy :)

Ok, so I know you guys are wondering "What in the world is this song?" This happens to be one of FatBoy and I's favorite songs. I've been singing this to Keira I think she like it too, while i'm singing she seems to begin moving around, maybe she's dancing! Awesome. Ok so i know i'm weird but then again you know it too so enjoy.

So the curiosity has been "Who will baby Keira look like?" FatBoy say's she'll look like him. I say i want her to look at least a little like me. What do you think? Here are some photos of the both of us when we were little along with a photo of Keira FatBoy's sister who i believe looked a lot like FatBoy. Maybe she will look a lot like Keira......Im ready for her to come out so we can see what she looks like.
