19 Weeks 2.0

You have been growing for 19 weeks in Mommy’s belly (for much longer in our prayers and hearts) and this week, you are the size of a mango. Coincidentally, we traveled to the Citrus State this week as well. Mommy, Daddy, Aubrey and Uncle Philip took a plane ride to Orlando, Florida. We stopped first at your Great Grandmother’s house then drove down to Grammie’s to celebrate Aunt Kate’s engagement. The plan ride back home was a bumpy one, but you are probably used to bumpy rides by now. Mommy is now very used to feeling you bounce and bump around in her belly. Daddy still can’t feel you yet. 

18 Weeks 2.0

You are the size of a cantaloupe in week 18. Hearing your heartbeat at a doctor’s appointment this week was music to Mommy’s ears. And to keep you dancing in Mommy’s belly, we went to hear jazz in the park. Later in the week, we visited Mommy's cousins Chuck and Heather to spend some time with their new baby Camden. Your sister Aubrey and cousin Jameson played together while Daddy feasted on grilled meats and sides.

17 weeks 2.0

17 Weeks complete. Mommy can really feel your turnip-sized body bouncing around in her tummy. She much prefers that feeling to the queasiness she still occasionally feels despite being in the second trimester. For the second straight week, Mommy and Daddy looked at minivans and finally brought one home for good. We are very excited to already think about this being the car we will bring you home from the hospital in.  

16 weeks 2.0

At 16 weeks, our little Pork Chop is the size of avocado. While still small, we are already preparing to make more space for your arrival. Mommy and Daddy are looking at minivans. We bought Mommy the Explorer for Meatball but with 2 car seats, it won’t give us the room to travel that we thought it would; for example, on family trips to the zoo, like the one you went along for the ride on this week with your sister. You’ll surely enjoy the zoo more when you’re on the outside of Mommy’s belly but you were probably excited to now be able to hear voices and sounds. We listened to the country music awards together as well this week.
