Dear Brookelynn,
This week Mommy experienced a significant life change, I'm no longer working. I'm so excited that I can stay home with you and build the same type of relationship I was able to with my mom. You're also very lucky to have a Dad that can be home with you frequently as well. I couldn't be happier knowing I can be room mom at school and take you to dance lessons, but lets not rush time...for now I'm just happy helping you grow along.
This week we also ordered a new car for you and I to ride around in. My new Mommy carriage is a Charcoal, 2013 Ford Explorer. I do have to give up my Mustang, it's a little sad to have to say goodbye. It was my first big purchase and I was a proud 19 year old. But, I can honestly say that I'm excited about our new ride.
In other news, we can hear you move about with a stethoscope and I can feel you kick when your hungry or uncomfortable. Yes, I know when you are hungry (well it at least seems that way). You kick and squirm until I eat and when I do you stop. This week you are the size of a sweet potato and are 5.6 inches long, weighing 6.7 ounces. I gained another half a pound so I am officially 1.5 pounds heavier than I was before you made a home here with us. Your bones are starting to harden, among the first to develop is the inner ear which means you may start to be able to hear sounds, such as, my heart beating or my tummy growling.
As for my body, my appetite has increased but not to what it should be. I'm still lagging behind 500-700 calories a day. I have an appointment with a nutritionalist next week, hopefully I will get some tips to help out to increase the volume of calories I'm eating per day.
Finally, in other news...I bought my first 'real' outfit for you from Oshkosh! Sorry Auntie Billi but I could not resist this one.
Let's see what adventures come as we enter week 19! -XOX!
