dear baby...

october 4, 2011 - hello monkey! today you are 5 weeks and 6 days young! i can't believe tomorrow will be 6 weeks! time is flying and i feel like i still have so much to do!

daddy and i are back in indiana now. we got home last week and i had to go back to work. boooooooooooo!
i really don't feel bad. i'm just so tired and wanted to nap everyday like i did on vacation. i still get dizzy when i'm standing in one place for very long. i have to sit down or walk around and then usually i feel fine. 

we have got to do some fun things this week in preparation for you and i am loving every second of it!  

i bought my first pregnancy magazine and read it on the plane ride back to america. 
they had a test in there for first time moms and i got a 40 out of 100! can you believe that?!?
i'm pretty sure that's a f. it looks like your momma has a lot to learn!

so daddy and i went to barnes and noble this week to get some pregnancy books. 
i got "belly laughs" by jenny mccarthy and your dad got "a daddy's guide to pregnancy" by michael crider. i read both of them in 3 days! ha!
i am going to the library this week to get some more. 


[on a side note, you have the cutest daddy ever]


we also went and walked around at buy buy baby this weekend. 
there wasn't much we could get you yet since we don't know if you are a girl or a boy, but we did pick out some books for you!
bedtime stories and counting books! i can't wait to read them all to you over and over and over again. 




i bought my first maternity shirt this week. 
it's not maternity size since i don't have a big belly yet but its made for a pregnant woman to wear. i'm going to wear it on halloween this year!
i will take a picture in it and stick it in this journal for you...

[pic taken oct. 27th on our way to first dr. appointment! 9 weeks 1 day!]

i also ordered a countdown calendar for my desk at work! 
everyday it updates me with how big you are and what is developing with you that day! 
i have some applications on my phone that do the same thing, but this will be fun because all my customers at work will be able to see it too and get excited with me!


[calendar status on dec 2nd]

daddy add i LOVE reading the updates on my phone about you everyday!
it is the best part of my day

this past week you 

measured 1/8 of an inch, about the size of a sesame seed

you cardiovascular system is working and your little heart is beating

your facial features, chest, and abdominal cavities are forming

you have lung buds

tiny buds that form your arms have appeared

your tiny liver, gall bladder, stomach, intestines, pancreas and lungs are all beginning to form


i am so excited to see how you will be changing and growing this coming week!
we love you so much sweet pea!

xoxo.
