Wow! It was quite a weekend! WE did lots of things, and I'll try to get to all of them over the next few days. So to start it off, I am now 14 weeks along! I can't believe how fast time is flying! It's wonderful and frightening all at the same time. So this week the little Gremlin is 3 1/2 inches long! Yep, that's about the size of a large lemon. Our little one is starting to do all sort of "real baby" things like making breathing movements, making facial expressions, sucking it's thumb, it's peeing (so it's kidneys are working)and it's liver and spleen are working (so I get some help making more red blood cells... it's about time!). Yesterday I went with my friend Liz (who is my neighbor AND is 7 week pregnant with her 3rd baby)... any way we went maternity clothes shopping which was a blast. But what was REALLY helpful we the time she spent with me walking up and down the baby section of Target talking to me about all the things that MAtthew and I do and do NOT need! Because prior to yesterday I was totally in the dark about all the different types/brands/sizes of things (nipples/nuks/breast pumps...). There are SOOOOOOO many things! Thank you Liz for your help, and for the great day!
