Hi everyone! Can you believe Im 14.5 weeks old already...crazy. Mom has decided to take her outside pictures monthly now but I can tell you...she knows Im here now! Im almost 4 inches long, about the size of a lemon, and Im still growing. My body is catching up with my big head now and I can finally reach my mouth with my hand, which gives me something to suck on to pass the time. I am a squirmy wormy in here, moving all around and testing out my happy and sad faces. I understand I will have a better shot of getting what I want when I get out of the place if I can make good faces.
Mom and I took a fun road trip to DC this weekend to see her Italy girls (also called Dante's Angels, whatever that means) and to celebrate Vanessa's wedding. There were a lot of people at the shower, I could hear them all, & they were very excited to "see" me. I also got to meet all of the the other "Angel" babies. Apparently the big question is whether I will be another "Angel" or the first "Dante" for the group...a few more weeks and I guess we will finally know :)
Gotta go make some more red blood cells! Talk to you soon!

This weeks project, vocal chords! Im making all kinds of noise in here to let you guys know I'm here but I'm not getting much of a response...You just wait, i'll keep practicing until I get really good at making noise!
So today was a big day, mom and dad went back to the Dr. man to get another look at me today. Today was my 12 week check-up, or first trimester screening...but I don't know what that means. I do know that their favorite picture taking lady Sue got some really good photos of me today and said I was a very good baby because she got the measurement pictures she needed right away which gave her more time to play and get a bunch of good photos of me. Mom and dad finally got to see me move around and i was opening my mouth and "drinking"...now they can see how cute I am! Another "big" today...my feet apparently...I keep kicking those around too, must not be too big if mom's not feeling them. We actually saw a new Dr. woman today and mom and dad really liked her. She said everything looked good on my pictures and that they would call mom Friday to let her know the results of the blood test. Glad I didn't have to give blood today...sounded like it hurt. Oh yea, did I mention I can hear what's going on out there now? Its pretty cool to hear mom and dad and my fur-sister Sierra...she is really loud though! Ok gotta go practice my screaming. Holler at you soon!
Love Tiny-T
How could I forget to tell you that I have hit my first real milestone! I am now (and have been for a week) officially a fetus! Did you also know that word actually translates to mean "little one" which is pretty accurate. Although I have more than doubled in size in the last three weeks I am still only as big as a large plum, (see my photo below) and weigh approximately half an ounce! I can swallow and kick and have lots of room in here to do somersaults...which are especially easy considering my head is half of my body size right now! (gives me good forward momentum) :) Mom says it just means I have more room for all the brain cells I've been making. For the most part all my major systems are in place and now I just have to focus on developing them and getting bigger and stronger...which means momma gets bigger too..hehe. Ok peeps, its a holiday weekend and apparently we are headed to the beach, I like that place, its nice and warm. I go back to the Dr. man in a week so stay tuned and I'll let you in on what he has to say.
Love and kisses
Tiny-T
