My Mommy and Daddy got a glimpse at me last week, but I managed to wiggle away so Mommy couldn't cheat and see if I was a boy or a girl!  I have my Daddy's cunning instincts already...I will say that I am so happy my Daddy is here living with Mommy and me now.  It's nice to hear his voice and have him rub me over Mommy's tummy!!!

Right now I'm probably about 8 1/2 ounces.  My sonogram last week let everyone know that I'm right on target with my height too.  I am 6 inches long, head to bottom - about the size of a large heirloom tomato. My brain is getting much bigger now, and I'm developing my areas in my brain that will help me use my five senses!  My arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of my body. My kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on my scalp is sprouting!  (It's pretty dark in here, so I can't wait to get out and see if I'm a redhead or not...)

I covered up my pelvis with my hands during the ultrasound this week.  No fair cheating to see if I am a boy or a girl....  I know they want my gender to be a surprise, so I thought I'd help them out a little...

I'm 1.6lbs already, and my growth is in the 52nd percentile for my gestational age.  I'm starting to fill out now, and look like a real baby! (See all my handsome pics in the photo album.) 

My  middle ear is developing, and I can hear sounds outside of the womb.  My favorite sounds are when Aunt Kacey and Aunt Kyla talk to me.  Aunt Kyla's pretty goofy though - she thinks I communicate through sonar and makes whale sounds!  All I know is that they will be great fun to play with once I'm out and about...

Other than that, I'm currently in the breach position, so my feet rest so comfortably on Mommy's bladder (lucky for her)... I've been enjoying a good tap routine on my mommy's pelvic floor a few times a day.  I'll be ready to have a duet with Mommy and a good kick-n-pass of the gaelic football with Daddy when I arrive into the world!

Only about 10 more weeks, and I'll be here to meet everyone!  So far it has been great in Mommy's tummy.  I flip, flop, turn, and tap dance many times a day.  I know when Aunt Kyla is singing to me, and when my grandmother is inspecting Mommy's belly to see what position I am laying in...She always figures it out!

Mom and Dad have a girl's name picked out, but not a boy's name just yet.  They have time though, especially because I'm not revealing if I am a boy or a girl for 10 more weeks...hee hee!  I've been hearing a lot of people (including the obstetrician) tell Mommy that I am a boy.  Only I know though!  It's been fun to keep this secret from everyone....

Well, I am really proud of my Mommy, Aunt Kyla, and Grandma.  During the ultrasound on Friday, they could have found out if I am a boy or a girl, and they stayed strong!  I gave them a good look at my ginormous feet and luscious lips though...I couldn't leave them hanging altogether.

As far as these living quarters, they are starting to get a little cramped.  I'm growing really fast, and real estate is at a premium in here.  I wonder when I should make my grand appearance into the big, beautiful world....
