27 weeks & 5days
These are some of my new outfits. Most of the outfits were given to me by Mom (fitzgerald). She sent them down, along with some really cute clothes for little Joseph. The turtle necks and pants were given to me by a friend in California. If you have a opinion of which I should use for the baby shower let me know.
I went to the doctors office on Saturday. He said that baby Joseph is about 2 1/2 lbs and 11 inches. So, currently our little man is short and chubby. I am no longer on a "diet" since I did not gain a pound!!! The baby did gain weight, therefore the doctor was pleased. I was too. I weighed in at 136lbs (I miss calculated last time).

26 weeks
I took these pictures in a rush. Buddy had the camera so I took advantage of the moment. I changed into a variety of shirts, but did not bother to fix my hair or re-apply make-up. I figured you all were more interested in seeing how big the belly is now, than in how well put together I look.
As you can see, I have outgrown most of my maternity clothes. Joseph weighs almost 2lbs and his mommy weighs 134 lbs. The doctor said that I have to watch my weight. Yep, he put me on a diet. I have to stay away from carbs and sweets. I am struggling with complete obedience.

24 weeks
I will post pictures of me and my great belly soon. Just been a bit busy. Ok...I also don't really like how big I'm looking either.
How your baby's growing:
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.

22 Weeks
I am sorry I haven't posted anything in weeks. We know now that we are having a baby boy! The baby is strong and healthy.
How your baby's growing:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

15 week video of the baby
The baby seemed really squished. I guess the belly needs to grow. Even though the baby seemed so relaxed its heart beat was 155bpm. Thank you for those who prayed for the video. Yes, I finally got it to work. Praise the Lord! By the way, although the baby looks like it's breathing He/she is really swallowing amniotic fluid. You can't really see his/her legs or arms. Maybe next time. I will be getting a video every month. Next month Lord willing we will know if it's a boy or a girl. We can't wait!

Hey sisters...Jessie, Liz, & Edith,
These pictures are just for you since you have asked for them. Love you
Your pregnancy: 16 weeks
How your baby's growing:
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
