16 Weeks, Its a ????, Birthday, and lots of pictures..

I am 16 Weeks.. :) 

and the baby is the size of an..

Avocado.. :)

Getting so big.. 

4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) 

and 3 1/2 ounces..

Our baby is getting ready for a growth spurt. 

In the next few weeks, it will double weight and add inches to its length..

Its legs are much more developed, 

and it has started growing toenails.. :) 

..and its little tiny heart is pumping 25 quarts of blood each day..

So.. I have decided to start doing this at 4 months.. 

So I can always look back and this.. :) 

How far along? 16 Weeks
Maternity clothes? No.
Best moment this week: Finding out the gender, hearing a perfect heartbeat, and seeing that everything it absolutely fine. :)
Miss Anything? CAFFIENE!
Movement: Just a little every now and again.. Still just little tickles :)
Food Cravings: pizza, pitas, and.. sunflower seeds. :) oh and of course pickles.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smelly public bathroom stalls, dirty dishes
Labor Signs: NO! haha. and hopefully none for awhile. :)
Symptoms: Nausea comes and goes, but other than that.. These past couple weeks have been heaven from the first tri :)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I think this is 1/2 and 1/2 right now :)
Looking forward to: My doctors appointment in 4 weeks to make sure all the

 organs are growing perfectly :)

Alright alright.. and the moment you were waiting for.. 

ITS A BOY!!!

He is a finger sucker, and loves to just ride on my hip bone..

causing great discomfort. haha.

but in the ultrasound he looked really comfy. 

and would flex his little arms for us.. :)
**Ultrasound pictures are farther down :)**

 (These amazing pictures were taken by our wonderful 

Friend Neihlee Muir) 

She did an awesome job with the little time she had :)

 

 (Fielding knew it was a boy the whole time so in this picture he was just sitting there like.. told you so..) My horomones got the best of me ;)

Yes, we started running out of balloons. haha.

This is when I decided.. alright.. well.. its alright if we have a mini fielding :)

 Now that we skipped the whole weekend we will go back.. 

REWIND..

On Friday, While Fielding was at work,

I went to a plantation house with a couple of the wives

 and had a grand ol time touring it..

even though I was dying of heat.. :)

The wives that went to have a great party time :)
*left to right*
Me, Neihlee Muir, Ryanne Roberts, and Cristy Stibal

I was dancing with this gem.. and then when I about broke her arm off..

I looked the price tag..

 yikes!!

 So.. I decided just to pose with this one.. :)

This is the plantation house we toured..

Its called The Houmas House.. 

Probably my favorite out of all the plantation houses we have seen :)

Spanish moss hanging from the trees :)

My little friend :)

 Ryanne posing with Abraham Lincoln..

that was also carved by the same guy that did 

Mt Rushmore.. :)

This was a spiral stair case that went up to the third floor. :)

It was very pretty..

I wasn't able to get much pictures because I didn't have 

my camera..

forgot it at home..

On Saturday, we went on a Katrina/City tour in New Orleans..

Most of our pictures didn't turn out because they were all out of a bus window.. 

but.. here is the moments we caught. :)

 After seeing what katrina did to the 9th ward,

we went into a cemetery.. 

((above ground))

The catholic church owns these.. and if someone doesn't have enough 

money to buy a coffin, they just buy one of these little boxes to bury 

their loved on in.. and if its full they just push the bones of the other body to the back

 and put the new body in.. and then they buy a coffin, and pay 

the graveyard money to move your loved one to a coffin. : /

 I would hate to work at the graveyard.. ZOMBIES!

Here are the bigger coffins, 

The bus driver said that the cheapest one out there is about

$60,000

 YIKES!

 After that 2.5 hour tour, we were kind of tired, and just went home the rest of the day 

and laid around :)

Sunday came around and we did the same thing Sunday.. 

Resting up for my birthday :)

And then.. MONDAY rolled on by..

and I want to take a moment of silence for all the soldiers

that have lost their life for us Americans..

{silence}

Alright.. I woke up on Monday and I was feeling very very hungry..

it was only 6 am :)

and so Fielding brought me to Burger King :)

on our way there,

there must of been a guy that was just hit by a car..

because there was a dead guy laying in the street.. 

: / 

Not gonna lie..

I cried..

I dont want to have that family so so so sad

that they lost a loved one on my Birthday..

:(

but.. after that moment of sadness..

I ate my burger king, went back to bed..

and then had our doctors appointment at 10. 

and here is what we seen. :) 

Sorry its so blurry : / 

Fielding couldn't hold it still :)

But that is just the baby laying there :)

This one is my favorite.. 

Do you see the little foot and leg :)

Its FREAKING darling.. 

I made that little foot :)

 haha. this picture he was flexing his muscles for us..

Showing me how strong he is :)

you see its little arm a flexing :) 

gosh dang it.. how did he get so cute? 

;)

take after his madre on that one :)

 This is our first boy parts picture.. 

you can see it says leg twice and then the arrow is pointing to it :)

 and our second boy picture :)

and our third.. haha. he was very open with us :)

 So.. its 100% BOY!

After we found out.. we took the wonderful announcement pictures above..

and then.. we went to melting pot :) 

and I had a root beer to celebrate my 21st.. :)

((Ya know.. I wanted to be as close as a 21 year old as I could :) ))

After that we just came home and relaxed..

Not gonna lie, I hit the sack pretty quick.. 

It was a very busy day, I didn't even take a nap :) 

Well.. that was our very long memorial day weekend in a nut shell :)
