Week 26-Halloween!

What's happing on the inside with Apple this week: 
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air. And she's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. 


What's happening with us:
We took her to her first concert last weekend-- Sugarland, and first Halloween party this weekend. We were hippies! Showing off our "make love not war" outfits!

Dr.'s appt this week. . .

Week 25: Everything is going well and very normal. I told them she was very active and they found that out when they were listening to her heart beat as they had to chase her around my belly a few times as she kept moving. They agreed she's a VERY active baby already.

We also got a flu shot while we were there so we are both covered now and hopefully will not get the flu!

Next appt is in 3 weeks.

Furniture (wk 25)

Finally checked one BIG thing off the list. . .her furniture. Feels good to have at least one thing done ;)   In celebration we took her to her first concert as we saw Sugarland last night!

Week 25

I get updates each week from babycenter.com on what's happening with Apple and me. So here's a snip it for this week: Week 25-
Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

So I wonder what color her hair will be?!?!?! I hated my red hair growing up, but now it's pretty popular, so I'd be happy with a little red-headed girl :)

Speaking of red-headed girls.... Sedona wants to say Hi. . .

Still week 24

Random Thoughts:
First 'cold' day in Atlanta, got to wear my new 'winter maternity coat' (thanks Bernie!), so it looked nice over this outfit.

Work is increasingly stressful yet I'm bound and determined to not let it get to me and to 'take the high road', but gotta tell ya, that's exhausting! People keep telling me I have the patience of a saint (I owe that to my mom, as so does she). So I really hope since I'm practicing my patience EVERY DAY right now, that this trait passes onto apple. :)

First Gifts !

Week 24

Thought a blog might be a nice way to keep everyone updated on the status of Baby Hutchinson, also known as "apple" (just a nicname for now). I'm feeling really good. I think the morning walks and pre-natal yoga are helping.

Last week Bill and I both saw her kick for the first time. Been feeling her for weeks, but hadn't seen my belly move with every kick like we did last week. Her kicking replaced us watching Modern Family! -- so you know she put on a good show!

Next Dr.'s appt is next Monday (10/24) so I'll update you all again then!
