16 Weeks (OK, 1 Day Early)

Please excuse the disgusting state of our mirror, I promise I could not see it when I was standing there, since I was looking at the camera screen. I did promptly run back and clean it off, but I'm not taking another picture. I already took my pants off and I'm not taking a pic in these scrubby sweats. I'm guessing my belly looks more baby-ish this week, because I got my first double-take (by a co-worker, not a random stranger), and because Tom is paying more attention to it now (lots of rubs and talking to the baby - who can hear now! But only if he talks loudly).

How far along? 16 weeks

Best moment this week: Having my beautiful heirloom cradle set up in our room...every time I see it, I get excited!

What I am looking forward to: Our first appointment with the midwife on Thursday...though I wish we were getting our ultrasound this week :( But we should at least be scheduling it this week :)

Weekly Wisdom: In the words of my mother, "If someone gives you advice you don't like, just say 'yeah, yeah, yeah' and then ignore them."

Milestones: Buying paint for the baby's room - it's going to be relatively nice this weekend and I'm going to make full use of it!

That definitely sounds like something your mom would say. And it's darn good advice =)

Baby bump ahoy! Happy to hear you guys are doing well. When do you start putting headphones on the belly? =D

J - :) I was going to call you yesterday, but couldn't find my cell phone...I think it's in our room. I'll give you a call tonight. And it's funny, Tommy was just asking about that last night, we don't have any real headphones, though, just earbuds!
