We have confirmed with a sonogram that we are indeed having only one child next spring, but my belly seems to be poking out already. I had Jarrod take pics at exactly 5, 6, and 7 weeks and I just compared them tonight. Looks like the days of regular jeans (and my waistline) are quickly coming to an end!
5 weeks
6 weeks
7 weeks
Now that the cat is out of the bag (and because I am a huge nerd at heart), here is a bit more info about the already-loved-so-much & super-tiny Baby Beckman.
*Expected arrival is April 20, 2009 (on our 7th wedding anniversary!)
*I will be 7 weeks pregnant on Sept 1.
*We are THRILLED! I have been feeling hungry, moody (not that Jarrod has noticed), more tired than usual, and every bit of 35.
*We discovered we were expecting on 08-08-08.
*We are planning to find out early if it is a boy or a girl, but we will have to wait for a few more months.
*As of yesterday, the baby was 0.52 cm from end to end with a heart rate of 154 bpm (imagine how tiny the heart is right now!)
*He or she weighs less than an aspirin.
*Development is 12.7% complete.
*The 2 Beckman babies will be exactly 2 1/2 yrs apart.
*We have not decided on names yet, other than our guarantee to the child that they won’t have a crazy Hollywood name like Spoon, Table, Pneumonia, or Pie. I’m sure we will have plenty of other opportunities to embarrass him or her without delivering the life sentence of a terrible name.
And last but not least, here is a picture I took today of Gaby in her smocked crayon dress (I love Ebay) as we headed off to visit my friends at Short Elementary. For some reason, this is the same deer-in-the-headlights face she made in all 12 pictures I took today. Not sure what that’s about. Maybe it’s just a 24 hr phase.
Enjoy your weekend!!
