35 weeks in, 35 weeks out

Today Parker is 35 weeks old. 35 weeks is the number of weeks I carried Parker in the womb.


The first time I found out I was pregnant and the first time I met my baby boy

Parker's 22 week fetal echocardiogram ultrasound. Parker had extra ultrasounds because during his 12 week ultrasound they noticed he had an increase in fluid around his nuchal fold and he had hydrophrenosis(increased fluid in his kidneys.) Sometimes this combination could be related to a potential heart malformation, but Parker's heart looked perfect!

22 week ultrasound: 5/28/10
22 weeks old: 2/1/11





Parker's 28 week ultrasound and the last ultrasound I had and Parker's 28 week photos.

He can talk!

So, it may have been completely random, but this has to be one of the cutest videos of Parker. I was talking to him and asked a question and he actually responded!

A blustery day (67/365)

Hum dum dum ditty dum
Hum dum dum

Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily

So it's rather safe to say
That it seems that it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly

It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly

Looks like a rather blustery day today

Poor little Parker was working so hard to keep the wind from knocking him over. He was mesmerized by the trees and grass moving in the wind. Vanessa was just being her crazy self doing her best to entertain Parker and make him laugh. He sure loves his big sister.

I took this video this past weekend. Parker was being so silly blowing raspberries, singing and laughing.

I think we have come down sick again. It keeps getting passed around the house and Parker and I were on the next rotation. He has been very crabby today, which I can completely understand. If your nose is stuffed, laying flat on the ground is uncomfortable.

Well, his favorite blanky has come through yet again. He was happy for about 20 minutes while playing with his blanky.





Just a random video of Parker

Look at Me...I'm 4 months old!

Sometimes it takes me a full day to figure out what to say in a blog post. I will write a sentence or two and then walk away and think of something else and write more. Today is one day that I'm happy I'm a slow thinker, while daddy and I were playing Scrabble you rolled over for us. I'm so happy daddy was there to see you roll for the first time. He is so very proud of you!



Your smile makes my day so much better. You laugh and it brings a joyful tear to my eye. My little Prince you are growing fast.

Showing off his long legs and pouty face.

I will update the blog with his height & weight after his Dr's appointment next Monday. Last time we weighed him on the Wii fit he weighed over 15lbs and when we
measured him he was around 25"
