With aprox 114 days to go....

Eggbert has found my ribs!

23 weeks

Turn on the radio and sway to the music.
With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance.
And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about
as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your
clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and
the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for
entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as
your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her
when she hears them outside the womb.

Baby seems to be doing great, growing and moving constantly. We were in Calgary this past weekend and I had my first baby hunger... I had two helpings of salad, two large plates of spaghetti and a slice of pie to top everything off. This was the first time I've had such a large amount (for this pregnancy) and needless to say my tummy was rock hard... baby likes spaghetti! Eggy definitely doesn't like Dorito chips, I picked up a bag for the ride home and by the time I got home it felt like I was in labour. My lower belly was OH SO PAINFUL, I was in tears! I've learned my lesson!!!

This Friday will be here in no time, can't wait to see who's been kicking me!!

Dr's Appt @ 22 weeks

Everything seems to be right on target. I go back in 4 weeks for another check-up!

Heather's ...

Weight - 143 lbs (up from 138 that was recorded last time)
Blood Pressure - 112/72
Belly's Measuring - 23 cm's
Eggy's Heartbeat - 154 bpm

We were really lucky that Nan and Grandpa were able to watch Robbie so that Daddy could come to the appointment this time! He was so excited to come and as we were leaving he mentioned that hearing the heartbeat made everything a little more real.... just wait until next Friday, ultrasound day!

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Another week gone, I'll be sure to take some belly pictures today. The belly has a nice round shape to it now and is starting to feel hard. Eggy's been really active lately which has been really exciting. I didn't realize how much I've missed the feeling of having a little person inside of me squirming around, it's a constant reminder that I've got another Robbie brewing... I'm SO excited to meet this little guy. Tomorrow we go to the doctors for another check up and then on the 29th we've got the big ultrasound, we're really looking forward to seeing this little guy that's been making himself known since day one (pretty much). I will post more when info becomes available to me :)

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.


I've had to go out and get some facial cleanser, my hormones are all out of whack. I've never had to wash my face with this stuff before (even with Robbie) but it seems to be making a difference. I just wish the acne on my chest would go away.

20 weeks

Well here I am at the half way point... ALREADY!

Things to report:

- If I don't have dairy through out the day I get heartburt (which kept me up for half of the night once)

- My sleeping patterns have changed, I try going to bed between 9-10 but all I do is toss and turn and end up watching TV until midnightish.

- I feel Eggy moving daily, he's more active during the evenings. I've felt kicks as high up as the bottom of my navel!

- I'm really hungry during the eveninings, the nights that we have an ealy dinner I seem to have two meals... hehehehe.

Colin feels Eggy!!

Well, after a week of trying to get Colin to feel Eggy he finally felt him last night at 19 weeks and 3 days!! I'm so excited that he can finally share in his movements. :)
