I had an uneventful weekend. Played on scrapblog.com most of Saturday watching old movies on tv like Chitty chitty bang bang, and the sound of music... Sunday was also uneventful for me. I went to a movie, Duplicity, out to eat at Famous Daves and finally to Walmart to get a few groceries. As of today I only have 11 days left here!! Wahoo... baby and I are both excited to be home. The wee one is active at times and at others not so much which worries me a little but I know it shouldn't. I have one more doctor visit left while I'm here next Tuesday. Get to hear the heartbeat again and that will ease my worries for a few more weeks. I hope this is normal because it always seems after two weeks since my last visit I start to worry about the wee one again... is the baby moving enough but not so much to cause danger... I'm afraid of the umbilical cord wrapping early and hurting the wee one... is this just a mothers worries this early on?
Anyway, we'll be seeing everyone shortly!! We're excited!! :)
My Baby:
By the end of this week, he'll measure about 7 inches from crown to rump and weigh nearly a pound. Not bad for a little guy who weighed barely an ounce 10 weeks ago! His hearing is developing, and sounds from your conversations can be heard inside the uterus--along with your heartbeat, stomach rumblings, and the pulsing of blood vessels. In fact, the womb is so noisy that it's been compared to an airport runway during takeoff; it's thought that the stimuli prepare the baby for the cacophony of noises, sights, and sounds that will greet him at birth.
Baby's Size: Cantaloupe
Baby's Length: 6.5-7.0 in.
Baby's Weight: 10-13 oz.
How your baby's growing:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.
These are two of the pictures I played with on Saturday...

I think they turned out awesome!

Just wish I had this much patience to sit and do it with my sister... maybe I should give it another whirl! :)
