We have some more ultrasound pics!!

Jacob and I got our friend to do another ultrasound for us this week so we could get some more pics of baby Jake. It's a long time between 19 and 32 weeks! I'm so glad that we did because he was yawning and moving around a lot while she was taking the pics. To see him yawning and moving his eyes made it seem "real" to me. Not that him kicking me ALL NIGHT hasn't seemed real but it was different seeing him doing those "normal" human things.

Oh and she told us that he weighs 2 lbs 11 ozs already and that she thinks my due date should be around July 23rd instead of July 31st. I can handle that!! My pregnancy week by week book says that he should still be just under 2 lbs. Sounds like he will be a big baby. However, I have heard that the weight estimates from ultrasounds can be off by about a pound. So we will just have to wait and see.

Here are some of the pics that we got...you have to really look at some of them.

1. Front view of his face and what she guesses his weight is

2. Side Profile

3. Front view of lips and nose

4. Pic of him yawning

He THINKS I'm big now...I have 14 more weeks of growing to do!

This picture was taken at 22 weeks! We are now 26 weeks. Roxie is trying to get me to take some belly pics and I won't so I told her that this would be the only one that she is getting!

Pretty Hilarious!!

Who would have ever thought a 5 year old could teach you so much!

I have the cutest nephews ever! Last night Jacob and I watched our nephew Trace for a couple of hours and he had us entertained the whole time. He is very fascinated by my pregnancy. He is always asking me questions about "baby Jake" and if he is kicking me hard, how it feels and things like that. Trace and I ran to Wal-Mart to get a couple things and he asked me on the way in if I knew that A LOT of water was going to come out before baby Jake was ready to come out. Next while we were checking out be told me to be careful because my belly was about to hit the counter while I was paying. Wow, am I really that big already? Then on the way home, he was really quite (VERY unusual) and then he said..."Alisha, don't be scared and cry when Jake comes out because he is going to be naked and have blood ALL over him." Of course I had to act like that was all news to me and the conversion continued about that most of the way home. We made Jacob dinner but Trace and I decided that we just wanted cereal, so I was walking around the island in our kitchen making our bowls of cereal and he said, "you better be careful because that table will pop your belly." At this point I couldn't help but laugh. He was talking about our island because it has a square top on it with pointed corners.

Who would have ever thought I could learn so much from my 5 year old nephew about having a baby in just a couple of hours! Julie, thanks for the evening of entertainment. We enjoyed having him over!

Sorry for the delay in posting the pics...

Here are some of the other pics that I said I would post and haven't.

The Easter Basket

The Pack & Play

The Stroller

We are in TROUBLE!!

Last night we were watching TV and I asked Jacob if he wanted to watch Minute to Win It or the birthing show. He picked the birthing show...HUGE mistake! He couldn't even watch most of it and then VERY seriously said, "Well babe, there are going to be two sounds coming from that room, one will be me hitting the floor and the other will be the baby crying."

Doesn't sound like he will be much help!!

25 weeks!! Only 105 more days to go...

25 weeks down and 15 more to go!

http://www.babycenter.com/ says that baby Jake should be about 13 1/2 inches long and about 1.5 pounds this week. It also says that he will start gaining weight from this point forward as most of his organs are developed now.

Here is a picture of what babycenter.com shows that he should look like this week. Don't look at the picture of the mother, I only WISH my butt looked that small!

Jake's Coming Home Outfit

Jacob's mom bought Jake his coming home outfit. It's a Feltman Bros similar to what Jacob wore home when he was born. Isn't it cute!?

Holy Cow...It's NOT a good idea for pregnant women to watch TLC shows!

This morning while I was getting ready for work, I saw a show called The Baby Story... on TLC. So I thought "wow, that should be interesting". The caption said that it showed first time parents going through the pregnancy process, then birth and then the first week home. All I did was cry the rest of the time that I was getting ready!! Maybe they were pregnancy emotions but unless some miracle happens, I don't have a clue how I'm going to give birth. That was the most painful, awful, grossest thing that I have EVER witnessed. I wanted to pass out just thinking about it so I'm quite sure that on our big day...I'm gonna have some problems. The poor girl was in labor for 26 HOURS...that just isn't right. Labor for 26 hours and then they went home the next day, and the baby cried, cried, cried and cried some more.

Needless to say, I was worried about all of this before and now...after watching that show, I'm terrified!! I set the DVR to record some more of that series but I think I should just erase that timer. I don't know if I can handle anymore of that!

Jake's Stroller, Car Seat & Play Yard are here!

My dad ordered Jakes stroller, car seat and play yard for us and it's here already! Three less things that we will be needing. Problem, we still have a while until Jake gets here. I'm ready & his room is ready so he needs to hurry!

Doctors appt went well this morning. His heartbeat was 150 beats per minute. Took my blood pressure and weight :( and told me to come back in 4 weeks. After that visit I'll already start going every 2 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. That means it's getting closer...Yea!!

This week has been an active one for baby Jake!

This is really this first week that I have felt baby Jake kick and move around a lot. He is pretty active in the mornings when I first wake up and get out of bed. I can handle this schedule as long as he continues to wait until I wake up and doesn't decide to keep me up already. We will have plenty of that in a few months! 118 more days. Time so far is going by pretty fast, maybe it will stay this way and Jake will be here in no time. We have things planned for almost every weekend between now and May so maybe time will fly by.

This weekend is Easter, and guess what...Jake already has an Easter basket. Of course my mom saw "the cutest Easter basket ever" and Jake HAD to have it. I'll have to take a picture of it this weekend and post it Monday. I have to admit, it is VERY cute! Another doctors appt Monday at 9:45am so I will let yall know what or if I find out anything.
