Stud Muffin

Hi Alex,

I got to see how you're doing today at our 26 week ultrasound. Memaw was there since your daddy had to work. I was so excited to see you. You seem to already picked up my habit of putting my hand on my face while sleeping. You had your little fingers around your face, yawning much of the time.  The tech tried to get you to move your hand so she could take a picture of your face for me but it took a little work.

I did get a good look at your limbs. Take a look at the muscle definition on that arm right there. The tech pointed out that it looks like I have a strong little man. While we were focused on your face, your foot made an appearance too! Apparantly, right now your favorite position is folded up. Your head down so I'm getting headbutted, kicked and punched all in the same spot. I'm not very surprised though. I have a short torso so if I'm sitting for long periods, you really don't have room to stretch. I do try to lay out on the couch when I'm at home. I can feel you kick everywhere at that point.

Now let's get to the stud muffin part. I told the tech I didn't get a picture of your winkie yet and she's like don't worry, she'll get one today and boy did she. Look at that! You are quite the stud muffin, little man. Memaw was like "Well, his daddy should be proud." When we got a good look at your legs, you were a little bow legged. Memaw was like it's because he has a big wee wee to make room for in between. I couldn't help but laugh at that.

The next may be my favorite picture. I can see you lips and nose. Your eyes are in the dark but oh boy, you are going to have some lips on you. Go figures since your dad and I have lucious lips too. I see your cute button nose too! I can't wait to smother you in kisses.

You're about 2.5 pounds and the tech couldn't get a length since you were doing gymnasitics through much of the appointment. Everything looks good, according to the tech. You've been a good baby lately, letting your dad feel you kick almost on command. He leaned down to kiss you goodbye and asked for a high five and you gave him one. I bet that made his morning bright. I love you little man.

Love,
Mommy

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.
