Baby Ryan

So I thought I would include a little of what is happening with our unborn child since I pretty much never speak of him on the blog.

According to Babycenter which is extremely accurate with my symptoms and have been since my pregnancy with Alyssa, here is the scoop on Ryan.

How your baby's growing:By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to her heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

I doubt our 10 pounder only weighs 2 pounds right now because that would mean he would be gaining 8 pounds in 11 weeks and for me, that means I would have to gain almost 20. No freaking way. I have my next appt this week so I will make sure to ask her what she thinks. I still can't believe he will be over 10 pounds.

He is pretty active but hasn't really kept me up at night yet. Rob says that he will put his hand on my tummy during the night and will feel him move around but thankfully, I am fast asleep. With both of my other pregnancies, the babies started getting hiccups around my 6 month but so far I have not felt Ryan get them yet. I have felt him roll over a few weeks ago which I have never felt with the other two. It was like a wave all away across my tummy. Kind of cool yet kind of eerie to see that.

Not that I am counting down or anything but we have 11 weeks and 4 days left. ;)~
