New Thing #3

On Tuesday, Peter went to his 18th month appointment. Here are his stats:

24 lbs. 7 oz. - 35th percentile
33 1/2 inches - 50th percentile

This toy is Peter's reward for doing so well at doctors appointments ($4 at Goodwill!). It is unfortunate that his little lawn mower doesn't really work because the kid covers enough ground in the house to mow our entire lawn at least once a day!


The other doctor appointment we went to was for kid-o number two. I had an 11-week appointment on Tuesday that lasted for almost 2.5 hours! By the end of the appointment Peter had eaten 3 fruit snacks, a large bag of grapes, and my lip gloss. Thanks to Peter everything in my purse was slimmed with grape juice by the end, and during the ultrasound we were serenaded with loud music from my cell phone. Definitely a very memorable appointment. Here is kid-o #2, due on February 15th, 2010:

6 weeks - Looking at the dark area in the middle,
the baby is the small blob on the left and the yolk sac
is the larger blob on the right.

8 weeks - The baby's head is on the bottom,
then arm buds above that on either side.

11 weeks - The baby's head is to the right and the arms
are the two small spots in the middle (no longer buds).
During this ultrasound the baby was moving like crazy.
