Homeward Bound

Today we head home from our vacation. It's a sad day. I have enjoyed our stay here and have had such a wonderful time performing for Grandma and Grandpa, even though they may not have seen me doing it! I like to turn over and over now. It's what I call the cork screw. Very fun! Well I don't look forward to the seatbelt, but it will be a necessary evil. Well, time for bed!

Happy Week Day!

It's official. I am 27 weeks today and this is my last week of the second trimester. I've come a LONG way! I am now 14 1/2 inches long and weigh 2 pounds. Effectively, I am more like a cauliflower in weight! I have to say that this is the moment I have been waiting for! I can open my eyes! Woohoo! I blink them and close them! It's awesome! Also, I am waking and sleeping now on a more regular schedule. There is one concern for me: hiccups! I have heard about them, they seem just plain uncomfortable! I don't think I have had any yet, but I sure don't want them! Boy howdy, growing up is fun, but hiccups can just pass me by...I hope! Any ways, we are all having fun on vacation. I got to help Mommy sew on a really cool sewing machine that grandma has. We sewed for a while! Anyways, well back to sleep. We will SEE you tomorrow. Literally! I can see! WOOHOO!

Daddy's big whoops

So Daddy forgot to help me write my blog this morning. We're just having so much fun on vacation! Here are some of the highlights of our trip so far.

-the sump pump club at Grandma and Grandpa B's new house
-car rides
-shopping with my aunt, cousin, and Great Grandma. Now that I think about it, that was a lot of girls.... Lucky for me Mommy only bought boy stuff for my room. Lots of things with monkeys. What's she trying to say? Hmmm... Oh and some rings because I made her fingers swell.
-I did get to try a blizzard for the first time! It was pretty good! Nice and cool. Although Mommy did sneak some chocolate in there. Oh well. It wasn't that bad.

I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Grandma M yesterday and my Aunt E (he, he! Aunt E that's funny....) today! Next year I'll be able to tell them myself....well, sort of!)

Road Warriors!

It's time for another trip! I am SO excited for this trip! I get to meet a pair of my Grandparents for the first time! Daddy has helped me to surprise my grandparents, so I hope it is all good! I'm coming world! Well off to the open road and fun times.

P.S. - I know I have to wear a seatbelt, but I am officially annoyed. Humph!

Mutant Ninja Baby From Beyond!

I am stealth by night. You cannot see me. I lurk just below the surface! Mommy waits, trying to feel me kick and so I wait. Once she doesn't expect it, I give her a kick and a Hi-ya! "and I'd kick her sir!" I am...the Mutant Ninja Baby From the Beyond!

Last night I just could NOT get comfortable! I kept kicking and moving and twisting and turning. I went from laying down to sitting up to being diagonal. I kicked and punched trying to make things soft. I even tried pushing on Mommy's Tummy to make it bigger for me. Nothing worked. So when she laid down finally for bed I started kicking again and I put on a show! Daddy even saw Mommy's tummy move! So, for a limited
Time, I will be performing in Mommy's tummy. I'll be here all week! ;)

I...LOVE...VIDEO GAMES...CONTROLLERS!

I love video game controllers! Last night, after I had hung my hammock on Mommy's nerves, I sat back and was enjoying myself when all of a sudden a massive earthquake hit! I didn't know what was happening! Then, it all changed. My hammock was weathering the quake just fine! It went back and forth and was quite fun. I had to pay attention to realize that: Mommy was playing a racing game with Daddy, and had placed the controller on her Tummy. That made the quake! I loved it! After they stopped playing I kept moving and squirming trying to make the hammock work again! It was awesome. So now you know! Whew! Now I can go back to sleep.

Life on The Diagonal!

So it starts to get more and more boring the more your senses develop! You learn to hear, touch, smell, taste and feel while only 2 of the 5 are really used! So to remedy this problem and solve the dillemma, I am now diagonal in Mommy's tummy! I can't help it! It adds some variety to my life and allows for me to explore at the same time. Did you know that when you look at the inside of a Mommy's tummy through eyelids that everything is just the same!? Well I get to stay here and kick a lot more today. I have some pent up energy I need to release, so I will get some sleep and then wake up kicking! Until then, this is me, from the quarter turned world of Diag-an-world!
