Hey baby!


Hey baby!

You can definitely tell I am growing a human these days and not just having a food baby. Your daddy had been trying to feel you kick again for weeks. One night he was cuddling with my belly when he heard gurgling noises. He said I was mistaking gas for your kicks. It is definitely not the case. But you, little man, is a slippery one. You would be kicking and as soon as your dad puts his hand on my belly you would stop. He would leave and you would start up again. It is quite funny. Tonight oh, I was laying down when I felt you move. When I place my hand on my stomach and pressed. I felt your heartbeat. I went over to your dad and had him press his hand into the same spot. He was able to feel you as well and bonus, you kicked for him. You should have seen his face. He had the biggest grin. He's going to be a good daddy..

I had a funny experience this week. You still have a lot of room to move and it seems like you take advantage of it. I had parked the car one night and when I got in to go to work, my belly touch this steering wheel. It didn't the night before. I had to move the seat back to make sure I wasn't hurting you. I laughed to myself because it was so strange for something like that to happen within such a short period of time. 

I love you little one. ♥️♥️♥️

Chunky monkey?

Hi Alexander, I got to see you at our 31 week ultrasound today. I had been concerned you weren't growing since I've gained zero pounds. Apparently, you're just getting all of the weight I'm losing. You're weighing in at 4.5 pounds and between 15 to 16 inches. The technician says that puts you ahead one week and it's all in your belly. I'll take a little chunky monkey baby as long as you're healthy and everything looked good. I love seeing your little face. At one point, you were were yawning and sticking out your tongue. So darn cute. I went to the ultrasound by myself but was able to FaceTime your daddy. He was just as excited to see you. Keep on growing in there, nugget. Momma and daddy love you to the moon and back.

Six weeks old and BIG news

Hi Alexander, I can't believe you're already six weeks old. Ok, technically you're six weeks and three days old. Caring for you hasn't given me a whole lot of time to write. It seems like just yesterday we brought you home. You have grown so much! You were born at 7 pounds and 10 oz. At six weeks, you weigh 11 pounds by my weighing method. I weighed myself then added you and subtracted the difference. You're also so long! I can't measure that myself but I know you filled out your swaddle now and are able the pillows behind me when I nurse you. In the early days, you fit in the crook of my arm and now, you dangle off the end. You smile intentionally and still have no problem letting your dad and I know when you want our attention.  We had some adjusting to do this week. My six weeks of paid time off ended Wednesday and I had to decide whether to go back to work or take another six weeks off without pay. Initially, the plan was for me to take a full 12 weeks off. ...

First "kick"

Hi my baby boy.. I felt your first kick today and a second minutes later. I had been worried why I haven't felt you. There have been some movement but I didn't know if it was you or just my body growing to accommodate you. Today, it was definitely you. It was like you were reassuring me you were ok.. that we're going to be ok.
