Hello Baby,
Seems like there is an important milestone worth mentioning almost every day! Today, I am 6 months away from meeting you, my love. What a great thought to keep me going thru this hot day! I hope it's only 6 months, I'm sure by month 8, I'll be thinking less will be better as long as you are healthy.
Yesterday, I went maternity clothes shopping while Daddy watched football. You and me are stylin' in comfort now, Baby! Today, I am wearing my new dress built for 2 in a size 2 (love that my size doesn't change) and it's such a relief to my belly. It feels great! I'm sure you think so too. Now if only these first trimester symptoms would go away, then overall I'd feel great too. Soon enough, I guess. I hope. I pray.
But who can feel good in this heat anyway. Ugh. Good thing I'm not very pregnant in a hot NY summer. I can't bear this heatwave we're having and to think, there's no humidity ha. Can't imagine what it would be like to be nearing the end now especially if this heat was everyday - luckily it's not. So I'm glad I don't have to know. At least this time :)
Looking forward to it getting colder so I can sport my new staple outfits for 2 - belly flap jeans and stretchies, tank, sweater and uggs. Ah, comfort!
Hope you are happy happy happy that you're not being squished any longer. More room to grow!
XOXO

A NY Kinda Weekend
Hello Baby,
It was your first NY stylin' weekend. The NY Giants played on Sunday Night Football (Daddy, Uncles Jon, Danno and Ben's favorite, even if they lost to Eli's brother, boo hoo), you had pizza from A Slice of NY (def the best pizza around here, yum) and we got to talk to a bunch more of our NY friends and family and tell them all about you (whoo-hoo!)!
So, I thought that since we're 3 month along now and we're going to start having more followers and everyone is eager to see us, that it was about time we updated our close-up, Mr. DeMille.
Might not be the best side-by-side comparison, but it's the best I got! I'll have to ask Daddy to be more observant of taking the pics from the same distance. And I think I need to change the outfit, it's not doing the girls any justice.
And here is what I looked like when we are at Kilauea for my birthday. You would think I was 6 months pregnant... geez! I look huge! I don't know why I'm so bloated some of the time but this is what I will look like every minute of every day soon enough... and I CAN'T WAIT!!!
We're a third of the way there. On Wednesday, we will officially be out of our first trimester, yay!! And today, we took our last injectable. No more shots, YES!!
Let's just keep hoping for smooth sailing.

Mover and Shaker
Hello Baby,
I love you, I love you, I love you!! Daddy and I saw you today for the 4th time. It was awesome!! Oh em gee... you are a lil mover and shaker for sure. In the past two weeks, you moved your little self 180 degrees, you grew to the size of a large peach and you learned how to suck your thumb! We got to watch you flip all around - at one point you were on your stomach, then your back, then your side - this is when you were sucking your thumb. You were kicking your lil baby legs. What a show you put on for us. It was wild! I think you like being on camera :)
On top of all that, you are growing like a champ, you are 4 days ahead of schedule so you measured 13 weeks... lucky 13! The doctor attributed this to good genes, which your Daddy is taking all the credit for because he says the good genes are the smart genes, which are all his, HA, and good nutrition. This was a surprise since I have not been eating very well lately. But I'm trying to get back on track and no better reason than for you, Baby. I have to tell you tho, you have a really big head. This worries me. I really hope it stops growing so the rest of you can catch up. I don't want you looking like that Giada cooking lady on TV... well, if you're a girl at least. I can't think of a guy with a big head... oh, ha ha, yes I can, Andy Applehead from my Shorehaven days. LOL. Oh, I hope Marni or Karen reads this someday, they'll get a good laugh.
I'm glad I can laugh again. I feel like for the last few days, I've been holding my breath. Once again I was worried about nothing. Right before we left for Hawaii, I started feeling a bit better and then in Hawaii, I felt almost back to my ole self. So of course, I thought something was wrong. I must have associated being sick with being pregnant and feeling good with not feeling pregnant. But it just seems like you were enjoying your short jaunt to Hawaii - the flying, the 4x4ing, the snorkeling, even the stench of volcanic sulfur dioxide. We'll have to do it again when you are here with us in person, as opposed to in tummy, and can actually get to see all of its beauty. Next hot spot for you is Tahoe. I hope you enjoy another long car ride, gambling, gondola riding and scenic views. It's nice that we're all going to experience Tahoe together for the first time, even tho, well, you're not really experiencing much, but that's ok, my experiences must be having a good effect on you, my lil overachiever.

Speaking of overachieving, I'm glad we went to the doctor's today because since you are growing so fast, we almost missed taking our prenatal screening test. We are taking a test tomorrow morning that assesses your risk for any abnormalities. I'm trying not to think about it too much, it is what it is so all I can do is pray a little that everything turns out ok. I can't imagine you being anything less than perfect so I will just keep thinking this happy thought. It's kinda exciting that I get to see you again tomorrow, Daddy may come to see you too, but nerve wracking. I'm just going to try and get a good nights sleep, not think about it and stay positive. Easier to say than to do but I'm going to try... real hard.
I hope everything turns out ok. No matter what, I love you, Baby!
Will post pics of me and you very very soon. Sorry for being a slacker Mom.
XOXO

Lime in the Coconut
Hello Baby,Look at you! This ultrasound is from this past Wednesday when you were 10 weeks and 3 days. You are perfect! Exactly how the Doctor expected you to be - a lime in the coconut - and so much bigger than 2 weeks ago. Amazing how fast you are growing! Even tho you're just the size of a lime, you are a defined lime. Dr C pointed out your head, both your arms and legs, and he even said you have fingers and toes. But the best sight to see was you movin' around! You especially moved when I laughed. I can't feel anything but in just a few short weeks, I will. I can't wait!
Daddy is so excited to feel that first kick! He has already started talking to you. He's so cute. He puts his head on my belly and tries to hear you and he puts his hands on my belly and tries to feel for you. He goes back and forth wondering if you're a boy or a girl.
Big cousin Alyssa called today with a long list of baby girl names to review with us. She is just as excited as all the big people and cannot wait to meet you next summer. She's hoping you're a boy, even tho she's not so happy with your name if you are. Too funny that kid. If you're a boy, and with 8 little boys on our block and 0 girls, you very well might be, because there seems to be something in the water here, she will come to understand the meaning of tradition when she's older and appreciate why we chose to name you John. Although, we haven't quite figured out if we will just call you John or give you a nickname. How do you feel about JJ, Cinco, Jackie Junior, or John-John?!!
Aunt Jenny sent you your very first onesie... and a Yankee onesie at that. Adorbs! It's so teeny. It worries me a lil that you're going to be so small. I feel like I might hurt you when my big arms are holding you and my big hands are patting you on your back. But I will be very gentle, I promise. I would never do anything to hurt you... ever!
Right now, it hurts my heart knowing that even tho we will see you again in 2 weeks, after that we start seeing you only once a month. I'm glad not to go to the doctor's office so much, but I'm going to miss it too. If you change so much in 2 weeks, I can't imagine how much you're going to change in a whole month. I love getting to see how much you've grown. Even tho I really have no idea what's going on on the monitor, I can obviously tell that you went from just this lil blip, to a mini human.
I'm so glad things are looking so well, it's definitely making me relax a lot more. And in a few short days, we're going to be relaxing in Hawaii!! Whoo-hoo!
Hope you enjoy the plane ride and the trip. Aloha, Baby!
XOXO
Mommy
