Hi Baby! You are 13 weeks today. That is a big milestone for most mommy's-to-be. But, your mom is finding that it is making her more stressed. Remember how I said before that we have problems carrying babies? Well, they were born at 15 weeks and 18 weeks. Once we got past 7 weeks with you, my fear of miscarriage went away. Once we hit 12 weeks, my anxiety started kicking up a notch about early delivery. I am going to try really hard to remain calm so you don't get any of that nervous energy! We are going to go to the doctor Friday and see you. Then, our next big milestone is next Friday when we sew you in there nice and tight.
I don't have anything specific for you today - so I will give you random things.
I tried adjusting my medicine so maybe it would help my nausea but it didn't. Kind of miserable today.
I have figured out that I need to quit telling you so much. See, your mom likes to talk. So, I come here and I talk to you but then I tell all my family too. Now, they already know all of my news because they are here keeping tabs on you so I have nothing to talk about. There is nothing worse to a talker than not being able to talk :)
According to my pregnancy program, you are 3" long now and .9 oz.
Kind of a funny for you - your puppies (Luke and Padi) are hung over today. We have been drugging them up for the fireworks with a gel from the pet store. It makes them all mellow and relaxed and makes them tired. I gave some to them last night as there was a fireworks show up the street and they are still woozy today. I can't wait to see how these puppies act around you. They were good with Andrew & Tyler so I am not worried about that. But, I can see Luke trying to be your dad and acting all protective over you when you are a baby. When you get a bit older, I think they will just follow you all over hoping that you will drop your food. I am sure that you will torture them - try to ride them like ponies or something - but I think they can take it. You will only be the same size as them for about 2 years then you guys will have to learn to get along! I point out the drugging of the dogs to teach you a valuable lesson early on - your mom is not above drugging you either. Maybe not with gel from the pet store but with benadryl or something similar. See, I am already trying to raise you to be a well mannered child - be good or I will drug you. I think that for sure nominates me for mom of the year :)
No big plans for us this week - just bowling. But, we have a hot weekend :) Saturday is our 11 year anniversary so we are going to another concert. Don't worry, we won't be jamming at this one. It is more low-key. I will have to give you all the scoop on how your parents met and started dating. Don't worry, I don't think there are any mushy parts in there that will make you want to say "Gross (or whatever your generation's word will be)".
Sorry I am so boring today kiddo but I am tired & sick and am looking forward to spending an evening laying in bed and reading a book. Maybe all of my reading will make you the smartest baby ever. Just to give you something to look forward to, I have two deep posts all put together for you on religion. I am sure you are just doing circles in your womb waiting for those :)
