Today you are 24 weeks…. Viability Day!   Viability day means that in general if you were to be born today you’d have over a 50% chance of survival.   BUT don’t get any wise ideas, you had better staying cooking for the next 15-16 weeks, so you can be strong and […]

Hi Little Boy! This week we had your 20 week ultrasound where they take all kinds of measurements and make sure everything looks okay.  The good news is you look great!!!  The Dr said my placenta (which is nourishing you) is a little low, so if it doesn’t move in […]

Yup, still a boy!

Hi Baby Boy! Today you are 20 weeks, half way there!!  It’s weird because the first half of this pregnancy went SO SLOW when I was sick, I couldn’t imagine making it through another week.  Now that I feel better time is passing faster, before we know it you will be […]

Hey Baby! We had another checkup yesterday, and got to hear your heartbeat again!  It was so much stronger and louder this time than last time.  You are getting so big that you are starting to push my uterus (your home for now) further up my body.  I’ve started to […]

To my Son or Daughter, Whilst I eagerly await your arrival and already love you more than anything… I’m not as much excited about what you are doing to your mother. I’m not sure who first termed the phrase, “bundle of joy”, but I’m sure they were misquoted. They certainly meant, bundle […]

With love, Dad

Last week we got to actually hear the heartbeat for the first time.  I have to say, the best part was looking over at Will when we heard it and seeing tears in his eyes.  He is going to be the best father I could ever imagine. Here’s the quick […]
