Week 21


This week Baby Boy Sonny is about seven inches from head to rump and weighs about 11 ounces, our baby is roughly the length of a banana. Baby Sonny has started to swallow, which is helping him develop taste buds. Hopefully Baby Sonny is enjoying all of the food I've been eating this week! Baby Sonny has been moving around quite a bit lately. I've felt lots of kicks. Most nights I go to bed and lay down with a hand on my belly waiting for Baby Sonny to kick. Jeff will place a hand on my belly too, but I'm not convinced Jeff is able to feel the kicks yet.

You may have noticed that I got braces this week as well. It's uncomfortable but it will be worth it in the end.




It's been an interesting week. Thursday was Jeff's 30th Birthday! Sadly, Jeff had an exam the next morning so he spent the day and evening studying. We postponed the birthday celebration until Friday. My parents, Oma, Opa, and Hannah were able to join us. Later in the evening a few friends stopped over for drinks and cake.


On Saturday we continued the birthday celebration up in New Hampshire. Suzanne made a delicious dinner and then we had 3 different amazing cakes. You might notice my sparkling cider in the photo.










Right after dinner the power went out. We entertained ourselves playing Apples to Apples. Looks like we were having a pretty good time.











We were also able to squeeze in a pregnancy photo in the dark!

















Baby Amelia was born on October 29th to proud parents Greg and Emily. She weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces. On Sunday we went to visit Greg, Emily,and Baby Amelia in the hospital. Here is a photo of Jeff holding newborn Amelia. Isn't he a natural?!













We returned back to CT on Sunday, only to discover that we were without power as well. Luckily Matt and Hannah live about an hour away and they have been kind enough to let us stay over. The commute to work and school is long, but well worth it to have electricity, heat, hot showers, and hot meals.
