19 Weeks, Kicks and Punches, and a lot of love..

Today I am 19 weeks..

and our little boy is the size of a.. 

MANGO!

His sensory development is exploding!

His brain is designating specialized areas for smell,

 taste, hearing, vision, and touch. 

Some research suggests that he may be able to hear our voices now. 

:) 

So I have been talking up a storm..

He weighs about 8 1/2 ounces 

and measures 6 inches, head to bottom

but we know my little baby boy is bigger than that..

So we will just have to find that out on Friday :) 

 His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other

 and the rest of his body now.

 His kidneys continue to make urine

 and the hair on his scalp is sprouting.

Now how cute is that update :) 

I started feeling him kick on Wednesday, 

right after our last post actually. 

But he was so so stubborn

 that Fielding was never really able to feel anything

until last night..

This little stinker was up all night thinking I was its kicking bag. :) 

but.. I was happy, 

because Fielding got to feel!

Its so much better when you can feel them

because it calms all the worries down. 

and lets me know my little boy is happy,

healthy, and best of all.. SAFE! 

How far along? 19 Weeks
Maternity clothes? No. Just pony tails, and Be Bands :)
Best moment this week: KICKING! :)

 Miss Anything? Lunch meat.. 

 Movement: Every morning, and every night.. :)
Food Cravings: Pizza, Salsa, and pickle flavored sunflower seeds :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Everything that smells.

 Labor Signs: NO! haha. and hopefully none for awhile. :)
Symptoms: I dont really have any symptoms except for the normal exhaustion..
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy of course :)
Looking forward to: 21 more weeks until this baby decides to join us :)

So.. We have our last doctors appointment while we are in Lousiana on Friday. 

I cant stinking wait to see my little man AGAIN! 

I have been so blessed to be able to get all the ultrasounds that I have..

There is nothing like seeing your child all the time :) 

So, I am sure I will post those pictures of the ultrasound,

 and I will tell you all about it. 

Until then you all have a wonderful week,

and here is something to leave you with..

I bought a new outfit for our little man,

and I know Fielding will surely dislike it. :) 

 but that makes me like it even more..

Whenever he doubts it,

I will just pull this little onsie out.. 

that should shut him up ;)

18 Weeks! :)

Today I am 18 weeks!!

and our little guy is the size

of a.. 

SWEET POTATO!

He is about 5 1/2 inches long (??) and weighs 8 oz. :) ((We had him weighed at the doctors today, but they didn't measure him, so.. I am just going off of average on the height))

He's busy flexing his arms and legs. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. 

Today we had an ultrasound and these are some of the handsome pictures of our stud muffin :)

This one is just of his head and brain :) 

and his little arm. :)

oh... and its for sure 100% BOY! 

 He is so flipping precious :)

How far along? 18 Weeks
Maternity clothes? No. Just pony tails, and Be Bands :)
Best moment this week: Finding out he is still okay, and is growing awesomely..

 Miss Anything? LUNCHABLES!
Movement: Just a little every now and again.. Still just little tickles :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Everything that smells.. haha
Labor Signs: NO! haha. and hopefully none for awhile. :)

_____________________________________________

This weekend we were pretty busy.

On Friday night after Fielding got off work we went to a mexican restaurant 

for dinner with a lot of friends..

It wasn't that great.. : / 

and then Saturday, 

in the morning we went out with friends to Benyays.. 

and we went into the shops right next to the coffee shop, 

and had a little giggling fun :)

**This is my special friend Ryanne :) **

and then..

We went to the shooting range,

because he is getting ready for the zombie apocalypse,

The guy in the picture is Dustin Stibal,

one of our Dome friends :) 

 after the shooting range,
Fielding was all worried that our baby would be deaf now,
from the volume in there..
but..
He isn't..
because he is tougher than his dad thinks he is :)
and then we had dinner for the birthday girl

Jayden Garrett,

(A daughter of a dome worker)

and then on Sunday we did our normal ritual

of going to church.. 

This week has probably been the hottest this year. 

Fielding came home last night and looked pale and sick.. 

He took a freezing cold shower for about 20 minutes,

and of course I made him drink-drink-drink water :)

He said it was over 140 degrees in the dome..

YIKES!

Today it is 9:00,

and it already is 84 degrees outside and it says it feels like 93 because of humidity..

Today is just going to be another hot day..

and my shoog will have to suffer in it : / 

I told him, whenever he wants to,

we can just pack up our things and leave to cold ol Idaho :)

By the way.. I am so jealous of all you Idahoians..

getting snow, and hail.. 

: / 

Me and Fielding would be out enjoying and dancing in it :)

We miss grand ol Idaho. :) 

Not that much to report this week..
but hopefully we can go to the beach sometime this weekend..
Well if Fielding is up for the heat another day :)
