Baby G- is the size of either a papaya or a spaghetti squash- depending on which website you look at. I choose papaya since it's my favorite fruit! Baby G is about 1 pound now!
Now that he's got more developed eyes and lips, he's looking even more like a newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. Baby is sleeping in cycles -- about 12 to 14 hours per day (source the Bump)
Currently Reading:
Best Husband Ever! Can I just say how awesome Jef is! Look at my flowers!
Plus he has been so understanding and helpful. Among the many many things he has completely taken over is the cat's care as I have developed an allergy to poor Kitty! Not only has he surprised me with this book but he also got tickets to see her live!! I can't wait!
Keeping Cool- since its going to be 106 degrees here tomorrow and North Carolina's summer is usually HOT, I have been investigating and trying out pool options at different clubs/gyms. It's refreshing, good exercise and Baby G seems to really like it when I am in the pool.
Cravings - Raspberries, Pirate's Booty, Hummus and cheese sandwiches, sweet potatoes and smoothies!
Aversions- This now varies on a daily basis and morning sickness is almost gone unless I eat something sweet. Ohh and the smell of hotdogs will send me over the edge! Otherwise I just get some random waves now and then!
Energy- some days I fell good and others it's like I took sleeping pills and am trying to stay awake!
Looking forward to: Baby Moon! We are headed to the Beach for a week!!!
Not looking forward: The pregnancy gestational diabetes test. It consists of drinking this yucky sugar drink and getting your blood drawn.
Baby items bought: So many outfits! They are so cute and hard to resist. Oh and this adorable basket which I am keeping his booties and mittens in for now!
Someone sent me this and I loved it!
Things Nobody Told Me about Boys!
1. You will spend a crazy amount of time clipping their weed-like fingernails, even though your own nails don't grow worth a damn.
2. They will also probably have nicer eyelashes than you.
3. Little-boy funk-smell kicks in sometime around age 3.
4. It smells like a combination of feet and maple syrup.
5. You will totally get peed on. In the face, directly, at least once.
6. I also do not suggest painting the walls immediately around changing tables or toilets with a flat finish. Go with eggshell or satin, or else just thumbtack up some freaking towels.
7. Those little PeePee TeePee things do not work, unless you care to see just how far your son's urine can propel a tiny, soggy cone of fabric across the room.
8. All that said, a lot of times they just manage to pee right on their own heads. Memorize their shocked expression when it happens, because it's Hilarious!!!
9. The instinct to turn random objects into guns/blasters/lasers/phasers/swords/lightsabers/arrows/cannons/etc. is something they are born with. Don't worry about it too much.
10. Buy helmets, though.
11. Remember that one mean little girl in first grade who would randomly announce that she wasn't your friend anymore; she was someone ELSE'S friend now and you couldn't be friends with either of them because she said so and made you cry but then the very next day the rules were all completely different?
12. There are mean little boys like that, too.
13. At some point, you'll have to sack up and send them into the men's room by themselves. This is both amazing and terrible.
14. Wearing a dress makes you look beautiful, Mommy. A single sequin on your shirt or a sparkly necklace earns you an upgrade to princess. Your hair looks great. Your hugs are nice. Your cuddles are the best. I wuv you, Mommy.
15. Ugh, they are so awesome, it hurts
