Last week was another busy one. I finished my last week on night shift, totally one month. I will miss the night shift crew but i am happy to be back on a day shift schedule. I find myself to be a completely useless unproductive person when i work night shift. We also celebrated the marriage of my cousin Katie. It was a gorgeous wedding with a huge attendance. I think 600+ people were there! We had a lot of fun and it was nice to see the family. My nephews and niece of course stole the show, they always seems to steal all of our attention every time we see them. Which i will not at all complain about. Kindle has really taken to Brad in the last few weeks and has started saying his name as well as syla. So of course we are both totally in love with her adorable little personality and it has been amazing to watch her grow. We have been fortunate to see them two weeks in a row and it was definitely worth the commute both times.
The boys being silly at the wedding
On to news for the babyfront...
How many weeks: 15
This week our baby is the size of an......Apple! About 4 inches, the little monster grew a half inch last week!
This week our baby weighs..... about 2 and 1/2 ounces. He/She gained a whole ounce last week!!!
This week our baby can...Sense light, although the eyelids will stay closed until 28 weeks. Babies taste buds are developing on its tongue this week! And, if we had an ultrasound the sex could be easily determined at this point!!
Boy or girl? We made the appointment for the ultrasound this week. Baby Gochnauer's sex will be seen on May 13th... now just to hope that legs arent crossed.
Total weight gain/ loss: +3
Showing: Maybe just a tiny little bit, people at the wedding said that they thought i was starting to show.
Maternity Clothes: Nope, not yet.
Best moment this week: My favorite moment this week was the conversation that brad and i has with Eli. We were discussing the baby inside aunties tummy and he was very excited to hear that the baby is 4 inches long. He also asked me if the baby would be born on his birthday (september 25th) and was completely bewildered by the concept that babies come "when they want to". I think that was a little confusing to him but the curiosity was pretty cute.
Have you told family/ friends: not everyone, i am sure the word is spreading faster than i know though.
Food cravings: Sushi/seafood!
Miss anything?: Sushi!!everything else i have seemed to find an adequate substitute for but nothing can replace sushi!
Anything making you sick: Still Steamed broccoli! the smell makes me want to vomit.
Pregnancy symptoms: same old stuff as last week, nothing really new.
Movement: I've felt something going on in there a few times but its hard to tell if its gas or flutters or who knows, id like to think its baby flutters though :-)
Gender prediction: We both really just want a healthy baby but if i had to predict i would say Boy!!! Brad thinks girl, just because that is what his whole family is rooting for and he really secretly wants a boy so he thinks it will be a girl since he wants a boy :-)
We call our baby: little monster, baby, we haven't really chosen an endearing term yet..
Looking forward to: working day shift! and having Brads sister and her family over this weekend!
Soon to be daddy is.... excited that he can tell im pregnant!
Until Next Week,
Shyla
