Happy Week Day - 19 weeks

Well Happy week day to you all! These past few weeks have been a blurry mess, I hope I can remember everything new in my life. I am now the size of an heirloom tomatoe! 6 inches long. My arms and legs have grown so much. And now I have people talking to me.

The other day, I was just starting to drift off asleep, when all of a sudden someone screamed in my ear: Whaz up!? I think it was daddy. But boy did that freak me out. I started squirming trying to move away. Then, finally, I wound down and everything was good again. 

Just recently, I was minding my own business, when I stretched my arms up, and there on the top of my head, I felt something furry, it was my hair! That's right, I am growing hair!!! Also, I started to realize that my skin started to get a little rubbery. I think I was pickling. I looked up the reason online, and all the other babies in the womb recommended that I use this waxy coating called vernix caseosa. So now I am not pickling, but am more like a waxy version of my former self. I hear there is even as gag gift of wax lips. Should be interesting when I get out of here.

Lately I have spent my afternoons observing my siblings. I see my brother doing many convulsions, like he normally does, and I try to repeat them. It's fun, but occassionally mama will grab me and say something, the which I don't totally understand, but I think she wants me to stop. So I stop. Well, it is time to go and do my daily cartwheels.

Happy Week Day! - 17 weeks

Yep! I am 17 weeks along and the size of a turnip. You know, it has been a long week. Mama and daddy pulled a fast one on me, and while I was in the bathroom, along came that Dr. and collapsed the left wing of my house. Luckily, I wasn't in there mainly because I couldn't fit through the door any more, it was the zygote part of the house.

So, yesterday I discovered the most fun thing ever: rolling summersaults. I learned how to do them while watching Star Wars: the phantom menace. Those robots that roll? Yeah, doing that is so much fun, you can do it over and over again. I did that for a good 30 mins yesterday. Mama has given me the  nickname ninja caterpillar. She says I feel like a ninja caterpillar in her stomach when I do that. Anyways, now I am going to go get ready for church!

Happy Week Day!

So, first off, I have to apologize. I lost my internet access about 2 weeks ago. I didn't realize that my posts were being posted until 1 week in. Then I resorted to snail mail, only to find out, I can't send letters without what they call "Stamps". But, no worries, I am back!

Today, I am 16 weeks! 4 months! Can you believe it? I am the size of an Avocado. Not the small ones, but the Hass Avocado. Did you know, my legs are HUGE! Yeah, I have really been working on them at the Gym, so they are progressing nicely. However, I am thinking it is time to start working on the rest of my body. I am thinking it is time for a growth spurt!

The family, this past week, decided to go for a vacation. You know, I really like vacations, however, there was one part I didn't really like.

There I was, just sleeping away when a rumbling began. It started slow and grew gradually more and more. There I was just trying to sleep when all of the a sudden, the entire house started to shake and undulate sporadically! (Like those words, I borrowed daddy's thesaurus!) I was getting tossed and turned, shaken, not stirred, until finally it ended after about 20 minutes. I used the UMBCam to figure out what was happening, there my family was singing at the top of their lungs while driving over a bumpy road!

Now I am home, and I think I am just going to take it easy for a day or two. This should be nice and relaxing.

P.S. - I have toe nails too! They are so cute!

Happy Week Day!

Happy Week Day! When life gives you a lemon...It's probably just me! That's right. I am a lemon, I mean the size of a lemon.

So I just started noticing, recently, like with in the last few days, when I hear or feel certain things, I started to realize that there was something wrong with my face. I started to realize, when I was happy, that the corners of my mouth started turning upward. When I heard something I didn't like, they started to move downward in what I think is a frown. The part of my face, just above the eyes, would move inward as well. And when I was frustrated...then the whole face was just completely moving like crazy!

Also, something really exciting just happened as well: I know what my thumb is for! Did you know you can use it to grab things? Yeah, I grabbed this cord out in front of me. It kept smacking me in the face, so I grabbed. I don't know what happened next, I must have fallen asleep because I woke up a few moments later. I think it was bad that I did that, but like I said, I don't remember having done anything else.

Anyways, got lots to do, places to go, people to see, and faces to make at others.

Happy Week Day!

13 Weeks!  That's right. I am the size of a pea pod, about 3 inches long. It is crazy! This past week has just flown by. I have been working on my detective skills lately. I have been honing my abilities to pick locks and such. Did you know that honing your lock picking skills is counter intuitive when there isn't a lock to pick!  But I did an online course and got my certificate www.onlinelocksmithcourse.com. It's kind of cool.

But you know, while I was studying how to be a detective, I stumbled across fingerprints! I found out about them about 3 weeks ago. That's also when I ordered by junior detective kit. When I dusted for fingerprints, I didn't find any. I guess I didn't have any.  But yesterday, when I was cleaning things up, some of the fingerprint dust had fallen out on the table. When I started to pick it up, I realized something: I HAVE FINGERPRINTS!  They are so cool. Did you know you can make a fingerprint on just about everything? Yeah, and they are also used to identify people. I don't know why it happened, but, this morning I got a knock on the door. It was a government official asking for my fingerprint data. He also asked for my bank number and social security number. I asked Daddy what to do and he told me to lock the door and don't give him anything. Daddy said the person was a fraud and that they were trying to steal my identity.  It was a good thing I listened because as the person turned away, he was wearing a costume and I could tell it was a Rogue Mitochondria. He was trying to steal my DNA. But this Fetus wasn't having any of that. I had my MRNA run a message out to his DNA tell them to RuNAway! ;)

Well... off to spinning class. I might need some extra food today, as I will be working on my little biceps and legs today!

Can't Stop This Feeling Anymore

To borrow a line from the 80's: Can't stop this feeling anymore! I woke up this morning, and all of a suddent I can't stop my mouth from making this bizarre shape. My lips are all puckered as if I want to latch onto something. It's really weird. I don't know exactly what to think, but I hope I get it figured out soon. Also, you know how I said I was the size of a fig, well I am not, I am really the size of a lime.

You know it's weird, I am also thinking I am smelling now. Probably not really, but for some reasons my toes are curling. Can anyone else curl their toes? Maybe we should have a toe curling contest. How often can you curl your toes in one hour. I am going on 22 times, let's see how long you can go. Anyways, time to head of for a quick jog around the mama course. I've noticed I have been getting fast and faster at running, but I think it's because I am bigger, not necessarily faster.

*Sniff*, I didn't get to go!

Today, it is with heavy heart that I am writing to you from my home. I was set to go on a cruise, but it turns out, I couldn't go. When the bus showed up, they wouldn't let me on. Something about being to big to fit on the bus. I am devastated. Do you know how much work went into preparing for this cruise?! I mean just the number of suitcases required would have filled that bus. I even stocked up on lemon meringue pie and other favorites of mine, but, nevertheless, I couldn't go. Sad. Sad Beta!

I guess I will just have to enjoy the sunny days with Mama and my siblings. I like the sun. I love how it feels on Mama's tummy. I like the feel of just floating and enjoying the breeze. Ok, maybe not the breeze, since I can't let it in. I tried once. I followed the UMBCam all the way to its source, but I couldn't open the port hole. You would think that they should have an emergency escape hatch or something like that, but I guess Mama doesn't want me getting out when I shouldn't. I don't blame her. I'm cute! So without further ado, I present, for your viewing pleasure, a selfie!

As you can see, I have a very cute and pointed nose. My chiseled jaw comes from my Father. Can you see my finger nails? I have worked on those for weeks. My round little back side. Finally, I didn't want to take a picture until my Eyes moved to the front of head. You see I now look like a normal person!  I am sooooo ready for my close up! Do you think I should have this laminated? Maybe a 8x11 Glossy.  Anyways, I sent a copy along with a resume to my agent, hopefully they will find something for me when I get out of here.
