26 Weeks

Baby Wall is now 27 weeks and about the size of a head of cauliflower. At my doctor's appointment last week the baby was doing great, hanging out in breech position with his/her head just above my belly button. That makes sense considering I feel multiple "kicks" at the same time, some high and some low. Baby Wall loves to kick my bladder at this point. It is the most strange feeling, very alien in your tummy. The 3D one is kinda creepy...as my mom said this has got to be one of the most photographed baby ever. I just like the 3D one as you can see his/her little nose and the left hand that is right next to the face. Alex did count (like my dad's mom would have) and you can see 4 fingers and a thumb.

Ike, Ike Baby

Yes, we had a hurricane in Houston and yes, we are all fine thankfully! Hurricane Ike did not stop Baby Wall from kicking up a storm as Alex and I "sheltered in place" on my twin blow up mattress (sorry Daddy might be too much info). The almost Level 3 Hurricane did not stop me from having to get up to tinkle numerous times during the hurricane (next to a window I might add). Not too easy for this getting-larger-by-the-day pregnant lady to get up off the floor. Already showing total disregard for his/her mother. Below are some pre and post Hurricane photos of the house.

Seattle

We had a great time with Alex's grandmother Rowena in Seattle for Labor day. I definitely ate, slept and had to break for the restroom more than her...and she is turning 90 in November. Baby Wall kept to his/her schedule of kicking me first thing in the morning and at night.

21 Weeks

Well I thought I would post a pic of my ever growing belly (and rest of me really). Baby Wall definitely enjoys Shipley's. Alex and I are both constantly shocked at how round my belly is getting every week. Alex has felt the baby move a few times now, and he/she is moving all the time just for me to feel.

Kicking and Growing

Baby Wall has starting kicking! Well, he/she has been kicking for a while, but I just starting feeling it. I felt the first movement at 19 weeks, but was not sure if that was REALLY it. Confirmed this past week as the feelings are getting stronger and Alex even felt the baby kick. He/she really likes to be active between 11 pm - 12 am...I feel that does not bode well for us in the future.

16 Weeks

We had our 16 week appoitment on July 17th and Alex got to see the baby move around, wave his/her little hand at us and then settle down with his/her fists over his/her ears. We still don't know what we are having, and hope to not find out!

12 Weeks

We went for the last ultrasound until week 16 and Baby Wall is really growing! He/she is the size of a lemon now and was moving and turning all around. We got to see its brain, 4 chambers of the heart and a sort of scary front on view. Alex wanted to know when the baby would stop being see-through...
