Week 14: The 2nd Trimester Is Finally Here!

What an exciting week for all of us!

This week, according to What to Expect, Shrimpy is about the size of a clenched fist. Whose fist? Who knows! It also says this is when babies start to grow at different rates, just like after they are born! Some tall, some small. Shrimp may even be starting to grow a head of hair. Another part of the gene pool in development!

We are both starting to get more excited about our soon to be bundle of joy. Here's a funny story from this week: Scott and I had both been "leaning" towards boy both as our instinct and our answer to "what do you want it to be?" This morning Scott was at McDonald's getting breakfast for us and was behind a lady with two small girls (ages...2 and 7 he thinks). Well the youngest turned around and told him, "That's Mommy, that's Sarah, and I'm Mia." Scott said hello back, and when he came home he said, "You know, a girl would be OK. They're pretty cute!" So we both laughed because truthfully we don't care, we are just excited.

Recent cravings: Same stuff as before, tomato sauces and soups. Brussel Sprouts (what is with me anyway?)

Aversions: Nothing seems gross. Fruit still messes with me sometimes (but I had some juice this week!)

Favorite food of the week: Burritos. Yum!

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
