Halfway there!!

This week marks the HALFWAY POINT of our journey to becoming parents and it really was an exciting week...for me anyway.  First of all, just knowing we are halfway there already seems crazy.  I am happy to report that overall, we all are doing great!  Here are a few notable things for the midway point....

1- Weight gain since pre pregnancy = 10 lbs!  WooHoo! 
2- Tons of movement this past week on April 3rd that kept me entertained for several hours each time.  I think he found his legs that day and it made me giggle quite a bit.
3- Joey felt his first kick last night, April 8th, while we were watching TV.  Maybe the game made him excited....or the mexican food I ate for dinner.  :-)
4- Belly Button is still mostly flat, but not completely.
5- Cravings-  Fruit.  I like fruit, but I want it a lot more than usual.  And still sweets...kinda the same thing. 
6- No stretch marks as of now!
7- Biggest complaints are at night...low back pain and getting up to pee multiple times is not fun.
8- Still no name!!  Joey and I may never agree on this one....it's going to be while.  :-)  I heard Mac thinks his name is "Little Joey"... I hope she is willing to compromise, because I'm not a fan.  lol
9- Next, and hopefully last, ultrasound is on the 22nd.
10- He currently weighs about 11 oz. and is about 6.5 inches long. 

So I took an extra picture for you this week so you can see the full belly.  I think he is cuter from the front.  ha


 
Have a great week!
 
Love Erin & Joey
