12 weeks!

Hello to all!

What an eventful weekend I have had! I drove all the way down to the twin cities with Mommy and Daddy to celebrate Daddy's birthday! Daddy didn't know he was getting a surprise party from Mommy though. She's pretty good at secret planning! The party was a lot of fun! Mommy and Daddy knew that this weekend was going to be the weekend that we were surprising everyone about me too so they talked about ways to do it! They chose to have it written on a birthday cake that they would play off as Daddy's! It worked great! Mommy brought the cake over to Daddy, set it down and waited for the reactions! It was SO fun seeing all of the reactions, well at least that is what Mommy said. There are pictures at the bottom of this post I had Mommy help me put on! I had a great time and everyone is very excited to meet me!

I was 12 weeks old on Sunday! My reflexes are developing like crazy! I can now wiggle my toes, clench my muscles and my eyelids are working on opening...I squint a lot! My eyes and ears are now officially where they will be when I am welcomed to the world! Now, some people say I am out of the first trimester now, but some say I have to be 14 weeks old. I don't know what to think!! Neither does Mommy. She's been feeling really good now too so, we are just going to take the weeks as they come! She has started noticing a potential "bump" but she is going to wait a couple more weeks to post pictures just to be sure! I will soon be starting to rapidly grow and mature in Mommy's belly, so she will for sure see me soon! These first couple of weeks have been really strenuous for me! I went from an embryo and now am in the Fetal stage and it feels great! All of my systems in my body are pretty much there, they just have to continue to grow as I do! How cool is that! I have been working so hard on growing and staying healthy! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me!
Well everyone, I will talk to you again next Sunday! Mommy is so sleepy after this weekend...it was a lot of stress and running around! She is excited she is back "home" and gets to sleep in her own bed! Today is officially Daddy's birthday so Mommy and Daddy and I are going to kick back and watch a movie together and relax. I love hanging out with them!
