20 Weeks - 9/25/07 - Bubbles

Today was such an incredible day... It's the day when I started feeling the baby move inside me. It's such an incredible feeling, I'm not sure I can explain it. The best way to describe this feeling is as if you had a bubble inside you.

I was getting a little worried since Doctor Fan had asked us if I felt the baby moving. He didn't seem too concerned when I said "not yet". I think Noli was aware of my concerns and he gave the Little One a deadline. He said "by next Tuesday, you will feel the baby move". I think the Little One was listening!

19 Weeks - 9/20/07 - Upside Down

Our appointment with Dr. Hamersley went smoothly with the Little Guy looking good and with Mommy healthy. When we woke up this morning, we asked the baby to pose and give us some nice action shots during the sonogram. Unfortunately, the Little Guy did not cooperate as he just sat there upside down. Is this a sign of things to come? Let's hope not!

Mommy asked the technician to verify (again) that the Little Guy had boy parts. As expected, the technician confirmed that he was still a boy. When Dr. Hamersley came in the room, we had a few questions for her after we asked her to verify that he was a boy (AGAIN!!!). Mommy is obviously not buying their story!

Dr. Hamersley then showed us the 4D images of the baby and she stated that she knew exactly who he was going to look like. Apparently, the doctor is predicting that the baby will look like Daddy. We shall found out in a few short months!

18 Weeks - 9/14/07 - All Is Well...

Yesterday, we had an appointment with Dr. Fan and confirmed that all is well with Mommy and Baby. The Little Guy's heartbeat was measured at 152 bpm. Jackie has gained a total of 6 pounds since our first visit and it looks like it's ALL in her belly!

Mommy has started a new project to help her relax and unwind after work. Jackie is crocheting a baby blanket with small light blue and white squares. We hope to wrap the baby in this blanket when he makes his first trip home from the hospital.

Grandma brought over a few gifts this week for her Grandson. She gave us some of Daddy's baby clothes and a baby blanket that she had kept for over 30 years! Mommy and Daddy were very surprised and excited to see these beautiful pieces.

18 Semanas – 9/14/07 – Todo Esta Bien…

Ayer tuvimos una cita con el Dr. Fan y nos confirmo de que todo esta bien con Mami y Baby. Los latidos de Corazon del Pequeňito median 152 latidos por minute. Jackie a aumentado 6 libras desde nuestra primera visita y lleva las 6 libras en su barriga!

Mami empezo un proyecto para ayudarla a relajarse despues del trabajo. Jackie esta tejiendo una mantilla que tendra cuadraditos celestes y blancos. Pensamos envolver al bebe en esta mantilla en su viaje del hospital a la casa.

Abuelita trajo unos regalitos el otro dia. Nos trajo unos conjuntitos y una mantilla que eran de Noli cuando el era bebe. Ella habia guardado estos por mas de 30 aňos! Mami y Papi se sorprendieron bastante de ver esta ropita tan linda.
