3D Scan

 We had a 3D ultrasound done this week and got to have a sneak peek at little Bub. Looks like he's another chubby cheek!

 Anika was quite curious about what was going on, and kept pointing at the screen and saying "bay-be". I'm not really sure how much she understands, but we do a lot of reading and taking about the baby in mommy's tummy.

Here is a link to the full video (4 min long).

29 week belly

29 weeks already! Honestly, where does the time go? The last belly shot I got was at 13 weeks, so it's long overdue. Anika has been really interested in looking at her baby book and particularly likes the belly pics page for some reason. I guess I'd better get a few more of Bub before he pops out! In the last two weeks he's taken a major growth spurt and I was up 2 kg and 4cm. Anyway, here it is. Excuse the PJ's.

Escapee Toddler Dream

Aren't pregnancy dreams something else! Last night I had a dream that Anika had chewed her crib side rail completely off and I got up to find her loose in the house getting into everything. That's quite a feat for a little girl with only 2 teeth!

I began to wonder about the foreshadowing this may indicate. Are we getting close to having a toddler who can climb out of her crib?

What is our life really going to look like with two under 18 months? How am I going to keep up? I think I need to order my superhero cloak soon. Maybe an invisibility cloak would be better?

"Ball"

Anika enjoys looking at her baby book that we put together. We put a collection of images together in a hard cover 8"x8" book. There's everything from ultrasound pics, to baby bump snap shots, newborn photos up to a few months. She's starting to sort of get the idea of there being a baby inside a mommy's tummy in her own way. The other day she was quite taken by the photo of herself as a 3 day embryo. She excitedly called it a "ball". I told her yes, it's a very special ball called an embryo ball. Well, I guess it's going to take a bit longer to really grasp that concept completely.

Funny Comments

I was at a school meeting this week and a parent of one of the children I see, made a comment that I had a chuckle over. She referred to my enlarging midsection and said "hey, you didn't quite figure out how it happened the first time around". Hmmm??? Well, actually... yeah, not worth explaining that it happened completely differently this go around. We actually are still in shock that sex can actually equal a baby. Anyway, I had a good chuckle and I'm sure she just thought it was her comment that was funny.

Cleavage!

While getting Anika dressed this morning one of her little socks went missing suddenly. I know the pair were together when I pulled them out of the drawer, so I searched the immediate area, inside her pant legs and sleeve, and the missing sock was nowhere to be found. I finally gave up and went downstairs to get another pair. When I returned Anika reached into my shirt and pulled the missing sock out from the front of my bra. I suspect she put it there to start with and was playing a little trick on me to see how long it would take me to find it. So I guess this means I'm becoming very well endowed again as I reach the final trimester of my pregnancy. My ladies were up to a size 36 F when I was first breastfeeding.  Now it seems I'm losing things in my cleavage. Yowswers!
