Week 22: Back Home

This week Baby Sonny is now weighing over one pound! From head to rump, he is about eight inches long. Baby Sonny is developing his sense of touch, and also learning how to grip. Eyelashes and eyebrows are well formed, and more hair is sprouting on top of his head. My baby book says that hair at this stage is bright white, how strange!


Yesterday Jeff and I were finally able to return to our apartment in West Hartford. We lost power for approximately 10 days. In the meantime, we stayed with Hannah and Matt in Branford. We had a lot of fun hanging out every day, hopefully we didn't overstay our welcome :) And we spent the weekend again in New Hampshire visiting Jeff's parents and seeing his friends. My parents got the good news yesterday that their power was restored. And shortly after, we received the news that we had power as well! Woohoo! It was so exciting to sleep in our own bed again!

Today I had the day off, the last day in my 4-day weekend.  I woke up to Baby Sonny kicking.  And then for the next few minutes he had the hiccups.  I could feel his whole body shake every few seconds, and this occurred about 15-20 times.  And then as soon as the hiccups started, they subsided.  Thank goodness it didn't last longer, poor baby!

The best part of my week (second to having power and returning to the apartment), was finally deciding on bedding for Baby Sonny. I felt that a lot of baby bedding was, well, really baby-ish. This lucky duck is getting custom bedding courtesy of Etsy!  For those of you who haven't heard of Etsy, it is a website http://www.etsy.com that sells all different products that are handmade by various people and small businesses across the country.  Aunt Judy has a website for selling her jewelry: http://www.etsy.com/shop/seajules, check it out!


22 Weeks and still smiling!

I know the bedding looks a little wild, and a little retro.  Baby Sonny is getting a quilt made of the owl pattern and other animals with green accents, a crib skirt in the owl print, and then other accessories in the owl and stripe prints.
