Belly Shots February 13, 2006
I know you all are just dying to know what I look like these days, right?
I love you all! February 12, 2006
It’s amazing you, my readers but actually my friends, are so important to me and my well being. I haven’t met most of you, but feel so connected to you as we share the intimate details of our lives. And I just wanted to say, thanks. Thanks for sharing, listening, and for your input. I think we sometimes forget that we are dealing over the internet and not in a close knit group of friends, because at times that is how it feels. All of us chatting over our coffee or tea, nibbling on a cookie, and tuning into our friends. And you know it sucks when we get hurt in the process, but that is the nature of dealing with people IRL or online.
Over the last few days I’ve had the special treating of chatting via instant message systems and of speaking on the phone with Imacmom and Jane. And wow, wonderful ladies, who make my heart and soul sing with happiness, cause I’m so excited to “know” these wonderful people. It’s times like these when I feel life is just about as good as it gets.
So thank you all. And spread the love, please.
If there is someone on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
Gracy Dog February 10, 2006
Gracy is gone. She got out of the gate last night and hasn’t been back since. I left food out for her and looked on foot this morning, but couldn’t find her. To say I’m sad is an understatement. I just want her to come back.
She was a gift from my Dad before he died, and it feels wrong to just have her gone so sudden. No chance to say goodbye, no chance to tell her I love her. Please pray that she comes home today. It’s cold outside.
More Ultrasound Details February 1, 2006
Little baby girl was very willing to show us who she was yesterday! She weighed in at around 6.5 ounces and measures perfectly for dates. She has a super long femur bone that measures way ahead of the rest of her body, just like her sister did. Having a Daddy who is 6′4″ probably affects that! She was very active, probably a result of the tall iced mocha decaf coffee that I drank before to get her going. She sucked her thumb, smiled at us and was throughly a happy baby to watch.
I found out that the placenta is anterior which is why I feel like her movements are a bit weird and why most of the movement is down low. That’s a bit of bad news for Erich since it will be a while longer before he can feel her move.
And for a bit of comparison sake, at 19w2 Magdalena weighed in at 9 ounces and at 19w2 this baby girl weighed in at 6.5 ounces. As I told Imacmom, I apparently don’t “grow ‘em big!”
