FIRST PICTURES OF THE BAMBINO

A couple days ago, I headed over to Monick's school for ultrasound, It was nice to get out the house without eddie and the girls. Hoping maybe a peek at the sex? Well that didnt happen ..lol Great strong heatbeat but the lil bean had its legs closed! Figures already being a diffcult kid. I've been feeling much better and energy is coming back, thank god since the girls need to be back on schedule with our tot school and other activities. I'm 16 weeks and 4 days today, still feels like its moving too slow for me. In about 2 weeks I'll be going back to visit monick, hopefully we shall get another peek at the sex.




whats going on with the baby??

Your baby's eyesight (and eyelashes!) is developing rapidly, but all you might be seeing in the mirror these days is a body that looks depressingly bulky.
It's hard to watch yourself gain weight during pregnancy, even when you know there's a wonderful reason for it. The challenge, though, is to try to embrace your body's new shape and think of every pound you put on as a sign of good health for you and your baby. As long as you eat right during pregnancy (minimize junk and maximize nutrient-dense foods) and get regular exercise, you'll be fine in the long run. Remember, every woman is different and gains (and loses) at her own pace. One way to show your changing shape some love this week and feel better about yourself in the process: Buy a garment (or accessory) that makes you feel pretty at your new size (and don't forget to buy underwear that fits!). Hey, your baby's bulking up, too! He now weighs in at a whopping three to five ounces, and he's four to five inches in length. His tiny muscles, especially the ones in his back, are gaining strength, so he can straighten out a little more. And those eyes are finally working, making small side-to-side movements and perceiving light (although the eyelids are still sealed). Peek-a-boo!
