So I’ve decided to give away our parakeets. First, since getting our cat, they haven’t had a lot of flying time outside the cage and I feel bad for them. Secondly, getting rid of the fish (and almost the tank!) and going through the office to prepare for the kids swapping rooms in prep for the baby, I’m ready to get rid of more stuff!
So, if you (those of you who are local) want or know someone who wants parakeets (cage, food, etc included) for free, get a hold of me!
Thanks!
Poor Spencer will not be pleased with this page, I’m afraid…but I had to do it. Hoping I will have more pictures to use when he turns 16! LOL – or maybe for a full page of his Senior yearbook.
I’m trying to do more pages to ‘get caught up’ and saw this picture and wanted to scrap it.
So last Saturday while I was at work, Steve and the kids went to the weekly Stake basketball games. At the beginning of the game Steve took off with the ball and was on a breakaway…that was, until he went around an opponent and his break away almost became simply – a break. He was down with a rolled/sprained ankle and some of the ward men helped him off the court. We didn’t know how bad it was but Saturday and Sunday he iced and bandaged it. Come Monday he decided to make sure it wasn’t fractured or broken. Luckily there’s not any and the doc gave him and ankle brace. Look how lovely his ankles are!
The ultrasound tech was a little punchy when it came to taking the pictures. Sometimes she’d miss a really good shot – and I know the baby moved around a lot so it really wasn’t her fault…but especially when it came to the gender picture, she paused it at a few better spots to show us and then printed out a weird/different shot that made the bum and legs appear like they’re halfway missing.
GENDER (see it looks weird)
FROG LEG (Evie says we were having a ‘boy frog’)
ARM – stretch!
FACE – He’s pulling a “I’m thinking” look (look at the hand placement)
PROFILE
20 weeks!!! I’m halfway there! And halfway closer to less sleep. 🙁 I’m SO not looking forward to the lack of sleep when the baby is born.
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He’s also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana.
We go tomorrow morning to find out the gender and we’re SO excited! Evie asked if she could hold the baby. I tried explaining that the baby still needs to stay in my tummy for a while and that the doctor will take a picture of the baby through my tummy. I think tomorrow will be nice because the kids will be able to see that the ‘camera’ does not open my tummy or the baby does not come out, but it takes a picture through my skin. I think they’re excited…and I’m still shocked that Evie has changed her mind saying that it’s a boy now. She’s been so stuck on it being a girl.
Well, I’m 1 week shy of halfway point (unless I go early – that means I have already passed halfway!) and 1 week away from finding out the gender. I’m very excited! Although I do not enjoy tomatoes it looks like that’s what I’m carrying these days. LOL
Your baby’s sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don’t be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
I’ve definitely noticed that I’m getting bigger. I can still wear my regular jeans but some days I have to unbutton them. Still feeling well so that’s good. 🙂
