16 Month Check up and Weekly Update: 14

Updates on my babies!

I don't know about any of you parents out there but seriously going to the doctors is the most stressful process ever!

You have to keep a toddler happy for hours on top of not without losing your sanity.

They want  to sit on the table, they want off the table, they want to sit under the table, they want to climb on the chair, they want to look in the trash can, they want to roll around on the floor, they want you to read them a book, they want to read the book. I mean its exhausting.

And this doesn't include the wrestling that goes on just so the doctor can look in their ears, throat, and the shots. (Miss P remember all this everytime we go)

I am glad not to go back for another 3 months! I was thinking about how the heck will I do this with two... maybe they will play together. Maybe not.

Anyways Miss P's stats goes as follows:

19.5lbs (4%)

29.5 inches (10%)

She dropped in percentages but the doctor says she is healthy, happy, thriving and developmentally advanced (insert proud mama smile here). He even went out of his way to comment on how well her speech and understanding of language is. I believe she get this from her Daddy :)

Here is a cute video of Miss P and my sisters kitty. She was so sweet and gentle she will be such a good big sister :)

Weekly Update: Week 14

WEEK: 14!

MONTH: 4

TRIMESTER: 2

GENDER: Still unknown (I am guessing girl!)

THIS WEEK THE BABY IS: This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.

CURRENT SYMPTOMS: Ligament pain. Its pretty constant and intense. I am worse off now than I was at 9 months with Miss P. The doctor has informed me not to work through the pain and to listen to my body, if it hurts I am to stop what I am doing.  Not something I am used to and it doesn't work well considering it hurts to walk. I am limping like I am 9 months preggo! Aye. I am nervous to see how it progress throughout the rest of this pregnancy.

CURRENT MOOD: Excited. I have been working on baby names and cleaned out Miss P's room and made it more of a toddler room than a infant room, really bittersweet. Thank goodness I will have another little baby to hold soon enough.

CURRENT CRAVING: No real cravings. I know I am so boring.

CURRENT WORRIES: Besides the pain nothing. I am ready for Mr. G to get home to get some relief in the evenings.Evenings are the hardest.

BELLY PHOTO HERE: Still a gut! Ignore the fact it looks like a tornado hit my house. I chose to blog before I cleaned :) Feel special.

Here is my first photo of my two babies together! I am convinced its a girl...So here are my girls :)
