Weekly Updates

From now on, I'm going to do my best to post weekly updates on my pregnancy (if I'm feeling really technical I might even post a weekly bump pic!). Here is my update for this week!

How far along?: 19 1/2 weeks
Total weight gain: 6 pounds
How big is baby? about 9 oz, 6 inches long (as big as a heirloom tomato, whatever that is!)
Sex: BOY!!!
Maternity Clothes: Definitely
Stretch Marks: Not yet, but I am using my cream daily
Sleep: ok....most nights I am awake from 2 -4 a.m though
Best moment this week: Finding out that we can call him "he" instead of "it"
Movement: A little bit every few days
Food Cravings: Apple Juice
Labor Signs?: No, but have started to have Braxton Hicks, mostly in the evening
Belly Button?: Still the same, In
What I miss: Too many things...
What I'm looking forward to: Seeing his precious face!
Words of Wisdom: My dr. said there is no question about swine flu vaccine, GET IT (but he doesn't have any to give....)

Baby Baker!!!!

Yesterday we went to the doctor for our first ultrasound. Baby Baker is breech, which made it a little hard for us to see the goods, but baby finally cooperated and we are SO excited to announce that we are having a BOY!!!!!! After some moving around from both myself and the ultrasound tech, she was finally able to get a good glimpse of him in all his glory!

So, any of you boy mammas need to be sending some advice my way! As I told my sister yesterday, I have NO CLUE what to do with a boy. We are so excited though, and he is measuring perfect, no problems so far!

We are almost officially halfway there, only 20 more weeks left until we meet our precious baby "Will". His name will be William Mathews Baker, and we will call him Will!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We'll be cheering on the Tigers tomorrow as they take on Ole Miss! War Eagle!

Baby Baker Update!

I went to the doctor yesterday. Not very eventful, but did get to hear the heartbeat! The nurse said it sounded like a boy, but we'll see in a few weeks! We set our ultrasound up for Thursday, October 29. Then we'll know if Baby Baker is a boy or girl! We are so excited to find out!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. War Eagle!!!!!!!
