baby: one. mom: ten.

secret insists that other people don't like looking at other people's ultrasounds, but i'm under the impression that because this blog is sort of like our "journal", and our family and friends are all here it's probably okay to share these with you. and heck! if you don't like looking at these, just click on over to pinterest, i won't even be offended!

badabing-badaboom! je vous présente: notre bebe!

22 week official statistical report:

baby growth: weighs 1 pound and is 5 inches long from head to bum. mom growth: gained 10 pounds. {this is probably the only time in a woman's life when it's okay to say that in a public place.} dad growth: same. baby movements: LOTS. secret felt her move this week for the first time. magical! what i'm wearing: i can no longer button any of my normal pants! zippers are starting to fall down!! getting a little nervous about the prospect of "maternity clothes"- so dipped my toe in and got my first pair of maternity pants. let's just say secret looked at them with the most perplexed look and asked "what is going on here?" so innocent. nursery progress: crib assembled. changing table assembled. bedding put together. next: accessories. 

>>> this child was insistent about having her hands up during the entire ultrasound. but at the very end i felt her change her mind and they slowly starting coming down... 

>>> atta girl!!! although secret is proud of her for "having her dukes up", i feel there is no need to protect yourself in the womb, so for heavens sake, show us your face!!

>>> OH, yep! and it's a girl! a girl with 10 fingers and 10 toes. we are feeling very blessed! >>>

it's been DISGUSTING weather here in NYC the past 2 weeks. i'm dying to get out and about without 21 layers of clothing and just explore!!! i've complied a list of "observations" about this city though, and next time i'll share them! let's just say, this city never ceases to surprise….

au revior!
