Halloween Party

Sorry I'm so late posting this week. We've had technical difficulty this week. I got some super cute pictures of Sophy and Ruthie trick or treating at the OC dorms, but my camera decided to die and I can't seem to get the pictures off it. So if I ever get htem, I'll post them on here. Until then you'll have to be happy with second hand pictures from the halloween party we went to.
We went to a halloween party with our class on friday night. It was a lot of fun. There was a hay ride which Sophy LOVED and a lot of food. The Foster's even brought the new baby! He's SO tiny! Absolutly adorable Jen. Sophy has been a little under the weather, but she's fine now. She has also been sleeping all night in her own bed for 2 full weeks now. It's very nice to not have a one year old pushing you out of your own bed!
As far as the new baby goes I'm 12 weeks and some change. I went off the pegesterone and I'm starting to feel a little better. I hope that soon I'll find out what this little one is, but I have a feeling it's a boy. So I guess only time will tell.
Here's what baby center says:
Your baby's hit the two inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce. Her face is beginning to look more human. Her eyes, which started out on the sides of her head, have moved closer together on her face, and her ears are near their final positions. Your baby's intestines, which have grown so rapidly that they protruded into the umbilical cord, will start to move into her abdominal cavity about now. Her kidneys are secreting urine into her bladder. Her nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly, and synapses (neurological pathways in the brain) are forming. Your baby may have acquired more reflexes by now, including sucking, and she'll even squirm if you prod your abdomen, though you still won't be able to feel her move for several weeks.

Sophy gets a hair cut.

Jeff was complaining that Sophy had bangs that were a little too long. So He finally convinced me to cut it. So here are pictures of Sophy's new hair cut. I think it's weird. She looks cute, but much older now. My baby is a toddler! pout. I guess she had to grow up even if I didn't want her to. She's also learning to sleep in her own bed. We've had some issues with that, but it's finally going well. She didn't like nap time and decided to destroy her room in her effort to prove that she was in control and not mommy. Mommy was NOT happy about that. So after that she learned that she has to stay in her bed at nap time until mommy comes to get her. She caught onto that one pretty quick.

10 weeks

I'm officially ten weeks! The week that wouldn't end is finally over! Hopefully no more pushing back the due date. If so I might not ever have this baby! I'm having a hard time eating lately. I'm not so much sick as I can't find anything I want to eat. Everything looks/smells/tastes gross to me. Poor Jeff is stuck with dinners that suit whatever whim my body took that day. Such as beans and corn bread, or dinner rolls and milk. I eat a lot of toast and milk lately. I miss being able to just eat what I want. Sophy is doing well. She's growing again. She has had bad allergies lately. That and teething make for a very messy baby. I feel like all I do is wipe her face all day. She's decided she loves bananas again. She'll eat two or three in a sitting if I let her, which I don't. We'll be testing the whole milk again soon. As soon as the formula we have runs out we'll try again and see how she does this time around. Doctor thought she just might need a little more time. She is walking all the time now and running most of it! She gets into everything now! She also has a new favorite word: "no".
Mommy: "Sophy come here."
Sophy: "no"
Mommy: "Sophy do you want me to change your diaper?"
Sophy: "no."
Mommy: "Jeff are you keeping an eye on her?"
Sophy: "no."
Jeff: "Yes I am!"
Mommy: "Sophy do you want a banana?"
Sophy: "yeah. yumm."
Just some of the conversations that have been happing around here. She has also mastered two word sentences. "mommy, up!" ; "mommy, empty" ; "mommy, baba" ect.
It's fun watching her world expand.
Well here is the new baby update via babycenter:
How your baby's growing: Your baby is no longer an embryo! Though she's barely the size of a kumquat — just an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, she now has completed the most critical portion of her development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in her body rapidly grow and mature. Her vital organs — the liver, kidney, intestines, brain, and lungs — are now in place and starting to function (although they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy). Her liver continues to make blood cells, and the yolk sac, which previously supplied these cells, is no longer needed and begins to disappear.During the next three weeks, your baby's length will more than double to nearly 3 inches. Her head is proportionately smaller now than it was a few weeks ago, but it's still almost half the length of her entire body. Her forehead temporarily bulges with her developing brain and sits high on her head; it will later recede to give her a more human appearance. Each day, more minute details — including tiny fingernails, toenails, and peach-fuzz hair — start to appear on her body. Her fingers are now completely separated; her arms bend at the elbow and curve slightly; her hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over her heart; her legs are lengthening; and her feet may be long enough to meet in front of her body. She is busily swallowing amniotic fluid and kicking her legs.If you could take a peek at your baby this week, you'd be able to clearly see the outline of her spine through her parchment-thin skin. Spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from her spinal cord.
Edit: The pictures are of Sophy in our bed talking to the remote like it was a phone. Cute huh?

New Baby!

Here is the update on the new baby. I went to the Doctor on Monday. She did a full blood work up and I still need to get the results on all that. She had me scheduale an ultrasound which I had today. It went very well. All looks good. The due date is officially changed to May 9th, 2007. I'm 9 weeks one day. So I'll have to figure out how to change my ticker. Maybe I'll leave it the same since I'll be delievering a week early anyway. So I won't be posting a baby center update until next week when I'm finally 10 weeks for real. Here is a picture of my new baby at 9 weeks. He/She/It looks like a teddy bear. Cute huh? Well that is all there is to tell until I hear more news.

Halloween is coming!

Since I haven't posted pictures of Sophy or talked too much about her lately I thought I would do an all Sophy post! I have an ultrasound tommorrow so check back later to find out new baby and Shannon details. This one's all for Sophy!
Here are some of Sophy's halloween pictures! I was afraid she would out grow the super cute Monkey outfit before Halloween so we went ahead and took our portraits. We wanted to take some of the other super cute costume...a lamb, but the we accidentally saved some we didn't want and couldn't take the oters. Oops! So we only got one of the cute Lamb costume. It's bigger than the monkey one so I hope to retake those later when we have more money. So for now here are two of the monkey pictures and one of the cute lamb pictures we DIDN'T order. So when I try to show you the ones we got humor me, because it's one you've never seen.
