Little Apple,
You are now the size of an avocado and things are really starting to turn around for us! Mommy is 100% certain she is gaining the necessary weight (yahoo) because I am able to eat every few hours and our visits to the bathroom have all but stopped. I'm still not able to eat the best foods for us but if you are anything like your big brother I know in about a week or two it will be all fruit and veggies for us for a while.
We did some testing to check on your health and everything came back GREAT. Your Daddy and I were so thankful. We were also very thankful to our friend Sarah who kept your big brother for us while we did the testing because it took a few hours and he would have gotten so bored at the doctors office for that long.
The good thing about the testing was that we got to see you!
Just one more round of blood work next week and I will feel good in knowing that you are as healthy as we can determine at this stage and we can focus on getting some healthy food choices in.
Two of your future playmates were both this past week. Lachlan and Evelyn. They are the younger siblings to Conor's friends (Neve and Adelle). I am so happy that you and he will both have friends to play with at playdates now!
This past week the last of your immediate family found out about you and Mommy started telling people at her work because her schedule for October is starting to be made. I can't believe that it has come time to start sharing the news already but time moves fast around here.
In two weeks we find out your sex and then the real bonding and fun can begin!
Love you little Apple!

16 Weeks
Dear Avacado,
Today we enter Week 16 and you are the size of an AVACADO according to "The Bump" fruits and veggies chart. I think you had a growth spurt in the last two weeks because I had been pretty sick and now I have a noticeable "bump" in my stomach area. Your dad says I look like a "fatter Erin" but not quite pregnant yet.....all I know is that my work pants are no longer fitting so I am going to have to start thinking about maternity clothes. I have one pair of maternity pants I wore to Court today and I have to say they are not as flattering as regular clothes so I will have to think about what to do :).
I have an anatomy scan three weeks from today - I am very hopeful that you cooperate better than you did at your last ultrasound as we would really like to know your gender. Your Dad is really wishing for a girl but I can't tell if he is just saying that because he would like a boy and doesn't want to get his hopes up or because he would really like a little girl. Sometimes, your Dad can be really difficult to read!
What do I care about? I honestly just care that you are healthy and that you don't come to early or come too late! Call it vanity but I really dislike the November birthstone (it's a terrible shade of ORANGE) but I love December's (blue!). Also, 3 of your 5 aunts/uncles were born in December and I think it would really neat for you to share their birthday month (your other aunt was born in February and your other uncle in August to you had better not make an appearance in either of their birthday months!).
Well, thats about it for this week. I haven't taken a belly picture yet but I always said this is the week I would start so I will post it once I get up the nerve to have the picture taken.
xoxo
