23 Weeks: (6/26/11) "Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound, you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze him when he hears them outside the womb. Baby's little face is fully formed...minus the baby fat, of course. The next task at hand for baby: sprouting two teeny-tiny nipples!"
*~*~*~*~ Southern California Baby Shower: *~*~*~*~
June 25th, 2011
~*~*~*~* Disneyland, Pool, & Belly Pic: *~*~*~*~
UPDATES: This week was amazing! We had such a beautiful baby shower and fun time with family on this trip!!! Thanks so much to my sister for planning, decorating, and thinking up every little detail for our shower. I love you! It was so great seeing all my cousins, aunts, and friends on that day! The chocolate cake with chocolate chip ice cream from Baskin Robbins was a HUGE hit, and the games were really fun. :) Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather, and the delicious bbq was amazing!
Seeing my nephews, Jackson and Jacob, was a huge highlight! They were SO sweet to Logan in my tummy, and would talk to him and pat my tummy to make sure he was happy! Jacob's quote of the weekend was, "Daddy, when will Logan be here tomorrow during the shower?" :) He thought that a baby shower meant the baby was coming that DAY! Jackson was also very excited to start planning what kind of Lego Duplo set he was going to get Logan for his 1st birthday. He would also talk to my belly and say, "Hi Logan, you're going to love Legos when you come out!" :) They were both so loving and so excited for their future little cousin and were such big helpers when it came to the finishing decorating touches for the shower!
Kevin and I also had a great time at Disneyland and going on all the "pregnant-friendly rides". :) It was much more mellow and slow paced than what we would normally do, but we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed ourselves! We had dinner at the Blue Bayou restaurant inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, ate all kinds of goodies throughout the day, and found as much shade as possible for little breaks here and there! What an amazing vacation!!!!
HIGHLIGHT: Kevin felt Logan kick for the first time on Saturday, the 25th, after our baby shower! :) I had been feeling Logan for a couple of weeks, but Kevin still wasn't able to feel him. We had just gone upstairs after everyone left, and laid down on the bed to relax. I felt Logan moving a lot, so I told Kevin to put his hand on my belly. Kevin was so sweet and started talking to Logan, when out of nowhere, he kicked REALLY hard! Kevin was SO excited to feel him!!! It was a really great moment. :)
