Your Baby: Week 13

Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)

are you trying/hoping for a boy?

i really hate that question! I hate that question even more when it is followed by "since you already have a girl". I have come to perfect my answer though, i simply respond with "no, i have 2 beautiful daughters. We dont care if we have a boy or another girl, we just want a healthy baby to take home this time". I hate that people assume that we need to have a boy to be a happy family.

Your Baby: Week 12

As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed. 

my baby "wish list"

 thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of things i have found that i like, that i need/want.

pay it forward

so Thursday on our way home from HAND we had to stop and get Phillip something to eat. We stopped at jack in the box and got him something off the $ menu. When we got to the window the man told us "OK guys your food was paid for by the lady that just left". So i told Phillip "now you have to "pay it forward" and do the same for someone else". Yesterday Phillip did the work lunch run for everyone and went to ToGos, there was a police officer in line behind him so he paid for the officers lunch.
Well then last night we took Chloe and our nephew to chili's for dinner to spend time together and the same officer was there having dinner with 3 other police officers. When we went to leave (LONG after the cops had gone) the manager came and told us that the officer (same one he had bought lunch for) had paid for mine and Phillip's meals! I told him now he has to "pay it forward" to someone else!
