GO GATORS!
Hey!! Remember me!!!
Lil Duck here this time! I'm back to update you on Week 11.
Week 11 was a BIG week because we had another appointment with Dr. Lipsitz on Monday (6/15). Everything went great, just like we thought. Mom has gained a little weight, but she's supposed to, right?! and Dad, well, Dad is dealing with Mom!! hahaha. They're both great. I'm making room in my new home for the next few months. Mom keeps calling me her "wombmate". I kinda like that! =o)
align="justify">Mom & Dad got to hear my heartbeat for the first time and they just looked at each other in amazement! I tried to make sure it was good and strong. I guess I did a good job because the dr said just that - "Sounds good and strong!". She said it might take a minute or two to find the heartbeat (if she could even find it - sometimes this early they still are difficult to hear) , so we were all waiting thinking it would take a while... After about 30 seconds we all heard this "wub, wub, wub, wub" that sounded like windshield wipers going really really fast!!! Yep, that was it!
We all listened for about 30 seconds or so and then it was over. Mom & Dad looked at each other like "What?!! Can't we keep listening for another hour or so?!" I think Dad wanted to record it and make it his new ringtone - how cool!! hehehe
We all left the Dr's appointment feeling pretty good. Dr. Lipsitz asked about how Mom was doing, with the nausea, sleep, heartburn and stuff like that. Mom said, "Nausea - check, sleep - anywhere I can so check, heartburn - you know it check!!" All in all everything is progressing normally. We're ALL happy about that. Mom and Dad are smiling and tearing up again...... I'm really starting to like these two! Then we left the dr's office for McDonalds!! YUM!
We got a present from Uncle Rico (Jim) and Aunt Jill this week too! My first Gator stuff!!! They picked up some goodies for us on their recent trip to Destin. We got a sippie cup for when I'm older (and when my hands work properly)! We also got some Gator pacifiers. They may only be used during football season - so as to not interrupt dad during game time - but who knows!! hhahaha.
It was just waaaay to hot to be outside. I mean, even going to the pool didn't sound good! Yep it was THAT hot! Saturday we just layed around and watched what Mom calls "trash tv" - reruns of 90210, Wife Swap, Jon & Kate Plus 8, Cake Boss- yep, Trash tv!!! Anything that doesn't require thought to watch and can make your brain mush, but you still get a good laugh out of it! That's mom's definition anyway. We slept through alot of it!! I wonder if Mom worries about the affects on me of watching these shows....hmmm...!!! Well if she didn't before, I'm sure she does now!! =o)
Dad likes to watch sports - SWEET - and shows where stuff blows up or cop shows - like Crime 360 or the First 48. But he likes funny stuff too, like Friends. We're all having fun just hanging out and getting to know each other! Like I said, I'm really starting to like them!!
Anyway, Mom is going to post another picture for me (still in the womb - remember!!) of how I'm growing at 11 weeks. I'm just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig. My hands open and close and my bones are starting to harden (Mom drinks ALOT of milk!). My diaphram is forming and I hiccup alot - but Mom can't feel it just yet. I'm sure she'll let EVERYONE know when she does!!
Love to you all!!
Lil Duck
