CORN BABY!!

I mentioned I loved Thursdays because thebump.com rolls me over to the next week a couple days early :)




So apparently, I'm 24 weeks and the lil guy is the size of an ear of corn! Which is SUPER adorable to me because obviously I like farms and the harvest and whatnot!






We also picked out the mini-farmer's bedding. It's super cute from a super cute store, Land of Nod. In case you care, click on the green-bolded link and here it is along with a pic:




I ordered the quilt so I can pick out a paint color for the nursery. This whole giving birth thing is starting to get real and I'm getting REAL SCARED! :) But excited, too, for the farmbaby!


Mucho love,

Yay! Again, per the bump.com:




Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)

Awww. Sweet peach. I just love this site's "How Big Is Baby?" link. It's so cute!!

We had a scare on Friday, omg! We went in for our a.m. monthly appointment to hear the peach's heartbeat...however, she couldn't find it on the doppler. Her questions, her continuing to try to find it, and the look on her face made me realize that while it may be perfectly normal in there, they were still definitely going to check it out on the ultrasound to make sure the heart was, in fact, still beating. They couldn't get me into ultrasound until 2:30, though, so we had to go to work between the appointments.

GOD, SCARY! Even though I know this *might* be a common thing to not find the heartbeat at 13 weeks, it is still so scary when it happens to YOU!! I was secretly freaking out although to those that know me well, it may have been obvious I was nervous breakdowning :) The good news is the ultrasound was fine and peach's heart was beating right along! :) Yay! FarmBaby lives on!! Of course I was so happy I was crying in front of the ultrasound lady so hopefully she doesn't think I'm completely crazy :)

So that was our excitement for the week. Even if it was scary, it was still so nice for Kurt & I to see the sweet babe's face, body and heartbeat (yay!) on the monitor. It has changed so much since our last ultrasound at 8.5 weeks. He/she has his/her little hand in front of his/her little mouth. Isn't that so cute??

On a lighter note (well...heavier note, actually), I'm coming to the realization the clothes just aren't fitting so cute anymore so I did buy a bella band to cover the fact my jeans/pants no longer zip OR button. HAHA! I see a Motherhood shopping trip in my future... I have also been working on cleaning out my drawers for our impending move. It's pretty comical to realize it will probably be a YEAR before I fit into most of the stuff again. Yikes!

Love,
