Week 16

I now weigh about 2.8 ounces, & measures about 4.3 inches long. My fingernails & toenails are now fully formed.

No Peanut Butter

So, Mommy recently figured out that I don't like peanut butter. She feels sick every time she has a PB&J or just plain peanut butter on a spoon. If you know how much Mommy likes PB, you know that this is a tragedy and she is hoping I grow out of it. We'll see.

Beta's bullfrog

Mommy and Daddy bought me this bullfrog several weeks ago (after my first doctor's appointment). If tradition holds true, I will be a great animal lover... just like my big sister. Daddy likes my bullfrog's bow-tie.

14 Weeks

Mommy gets weekly emails so she can keep track of me. This week it says, "Your baby weighs almost one ounce, and is 3 to 4 inches in length." That about as long as a credit card. And I even have fingerprints! This picture is of a baby (not me) at 14 weeks.

The other exciting news is that I am going to have a cousin just a few weeks younger than me. My big sister has promised to show us both the ropes.

Hi there... I'm Beta.

You may already know my sister, the Pink Princess, but I'll bet you didn't know that her name was Alphi (like the Greek "Alpha") until my mom and dad knew that she was a girl. Well, this time around Mom and Dad have decided to be totally surprised... so they will be calling me Beta until I am born. I may not be fully cooked quite yet, but I will be here before you know it. Right now I am spending my days swimming around my womb. Yesterday I went to the doc, where this sonogram picture was taken. Everything is looking good. Talk to you later.
