Week 25- Cauliflower

Exciting cuz in the wee hours of the morning, of course after being woken up from the most painful Charlie horse leg cramp, I felt Fishy doing some karate moves. I placed my hands on my belly, and actually felt her from outside

Week 24- Cantaloupe

Seems crazy that an entire cantaloupe is inside me, but makes sense since I've finally gained weight. Apparently, ten pounds since my last appointment at 20 weeks.  Yesterday, my Obgyn measured little Fishy.  She's measuring right on target and weighing 1 pound 3 ounce. 

Week 23- Grapefruit

Now that her face is fully formed, I'm so curious what our little Fishy looks like.  She's listening to my voice and heartbeat,  and of course all the music I've been playing for her.  Mostly Ingrid Michelson, Sarah bareilles, Regina spektor.. Sweet girl vocals. Oh & Christmas songs 

This week, the husband is in Chicago for work.  So spending this driZzly week by my lonesome self.  Keeping myself busy with couple trips to my parents, & some dinner out with girlfriends.  Much different being "single" and pregnant 

Week 22- Papaya

She's got her features, hopefully mommy's eyes & daddy's lips.  Also, sleeping in cycles.  Putting in a full 12-14 hours of snooze a day!  She's growing and growing, and I can see it with my belly now officially popped.  I'm finally starting the weight gain, with the past week exceeding the average half pound. Maybe playing catch up?

Week 21- Pomegranate

The belly has really popped & I've been feeling this little Fishy swimming in her pond the past week.  An internal fluttery popcorn popping sensation.  As for her development, she already has a lifetime supply of eggs (six million). Amazing

Just got back from babymooning in Cabo.  Literally camped out at the resort, Fiesta Americana.  Loved it

Resort & ocean

Amazing room view

Pool lounging

Beach lounging 

Nonstop eating through the all-inclusive plan, my favorite being the fresh ginger icecream at Peninsula beachside restaurant

THE ginger icecream

What a change a day makes.  It's raining in LA & I'm currently at St Joseph, my mom laying on the operating table for back to back surgeries.  Anxious for 930 am, when the surgeon will give me a progress update.  Then another waiting game until 11 am, when the second surgeon gives me the final update.  I hope she's dreaming of her April grand daughter.  As she was being wheeled out whoozy on versed, I heard her say "have a baby" 

Made me giggle
