101 and Counting!

So yesterday I hit 100 straight posts! Woohoo! Anyways, thought that was cool. Yesterday, I had to be a little forceful with Mommy. Lately, she has been choosing wonderful food! I love it, however, yesterday she didn't eat something I liked, so I had to really let her know it. She had severe nausea from it. Last night, as well, Mommy, Daddy and I cleaned more in the house. I'm getting excited! Things are looking great! In fact I was so excited that last night when Mommy laid down, I did a back flip for the first time! It was awesome, I will have to do more of those. Anyways off to bed.

The Great Stuff Migration of 2010

So Grandma and Grandpa are coming tomorrow. That means it's time for Mommy and Daddy to start the grea stuff migration. Last night they were cleaning and organizing my room and the spare room. I think it's kind of cool, I get my own room, and Grandma and Grandpa have to share a room! He he he, I'm not even born yet! Anyways, everything is looking good. Yesterday I discovered if I scrunch myself into a ball, and then push lightly off Mommy's tummy I can just float for a little bit. It's kind of fun returning to your roots!

Baby and The Shark - Bark

What do you get when you cross a baby with a shark? That's right, a bark! And trust me, their bite is worse than their bark! Mommy can't decide if she felt me move yesterday or not. But really, I'm like a great white shark...swimming quietly around for my next victim! I will jump soon, and Mommy and Daddy will see my face through Mommy's tummy. Then I will descend once again, waiting and preying on the next young blood cell to swim by. This bark, is probably the quietest bark you will ever see, not to mention the only bark you will ever see.

Happy Week Day!

18 weeks, 5 1/2 inches, the size of a bell pepper and extremely active! Oh, and I look like a flying squirrel! Just kidding. I found out this morning that my ears are finally in place, but they stick out from the side of my head! Oh well, I hope they attach themselves a little more before I make my appearance. Anyways, it's been a fun ride the last week. Every time Mommy coughs, I get to go up and down and up and down. It's a lot better than the earthquake, it's kind of soothing. Daddy was gone all day yesterday for a wedding shoot, then he came home and died. I don't want to roll over and kick him, because he might start smelling already. I've only read about rigor mortis, I just don't want to experience it right now! He also kept waking Mommy up with his snoring all night long. Anyways, I'm starting to get hungry, time to push the button!

Oh Woe is Me!

So Mommy keeps thinking that I am just moving around, but what she doesn't know is that I am really running a steel cup over the bars of my proverbial jail! Let me out! Yesterday, can you believe she put a waist band on me? I had to push it away! She also has been feeding me more chocolate of late. I don't like chocolate, so I made her sick yesterday in protest. Besides that, I am OK. Send help...please! Let me out! Wait...I still have 4 1/2 months to go...aw man! That stinks!

Your little locked up embryo,

Restless Daddy

Last night, I was not the restless one. I could hear Daddy rolling around and tossing all night long. He then got up around 430 and didn't go back to bed. So in honor of my Daddy, I wrote him a poem.

Zombie Daddy

Tired. Restless. Bloodshot eyes.
Working. Breathing. One of the guys.
Tossing. Turning. Makes Bater cry.
Stop it!

I'm going back to sleep.

The Womb-athlon

You've hear of the Biathlon and the Triathlon, but have you ever heard of the Womb-athlon? I didn't think so. Last night, around 8:00, I started my first womb-athlon. It is a Marathon combined with womb diving and extreme umbilical swinging! So I started with the Marathon. My little legs were just a moving as fast as they could go. Mommy felt me running the whole way. When I finished there I took up the womb diving portion. This is where you climb to the highest part of the womb and then jump to the bottom. You have three attempts to woo the judges. I got 3rd place. I don't know how as I was the only one competing, but oh well. Finally we had the umbilical swing. That was fun! You climb up to a high spot and then you jump out over the placenta with the umbilical cord. You let go and then you just bounce! It's really cool! Anyways, I'm tired now, so I will talk to you all later.
