Baby Fisk #3: 15 Weeks...

How far along? 15 Weeks


Total weight gain/loss? 3 lbs.  Went to the doctor last week and that's the total thusfar.  However, it feels like the weight is being packed on by the second!

Maternity clothes? Still just some bottoms here and there. 


Sleep?  Sleeping fine and still get to bed pretty early.


Movement? None yet.


Food cravings/aversions? I seem to be hungry a lot but am trying not to eat at every stomach growling.  Easier said than done - my self control is lacking :)

Gender?  We should know this very soon :)  July 19th is our next appointment.


Labor signs? No (I don't know why I even include this question).


What others are saying: I have gotten a few, "Oh, I can tell you're pregnant" this week but nothing else.


What I miss: I really do enjoy being pregnant and the miracle I get to experience (so much better after the first trimester).


What I am looking forward to:  Days without headaches :). 

Milestones: Not much news this week...just SO thankful to have heard the heartbeat.  I'm a worrier by nature and it was such a relief to hear that the baby was a-ok!

Beautiful Story...

I read this story this morning and cried and cried.  What faith this family has!  And, what an example they are for us all...may we all have the courage, faith and acceptance of God's will demonstrated here.

Peter: 8 Months...

A month has already passed!  Wow.  It's funny/neat to me that as "sad" as I may be about Peter growing up so fast, each new day brings something new to make me smile or to remind me that every moment is to be cherished.  Growing up is just a part of things (some days I have an easier time with that than others).

Here are Peter's current stats:

Weighs about 23 lbs I would guess

Is about 29 inches long (we have a check-up in a month to verify).

Wears anything from 12 month to 18 month clothing.

Still drinks 5 bottles/day equaling almost 29-30 ounces of formula with added rice.


Eats anywhere from 2-7 oz of baby food a day. We try to give him veggie/meat mixes mid-morning and fruit mixes in the afternoon.


Starting to eat table food.  He loves everything and wants to be eating when we're eating.  In fact, I walked in on he and Carter in the living room last week sharing some club crackers.  Carter takes really good care of him :)

Is still on Zantac and is still spitting up a ton.  Seems worse than ever this month.

Takes 2 good naps a day, ranging from 1 hour to 2.5 hours.  And, sometimes there is a third.  He goes down for the night around 6:30 and still typically wakes a little before six.

He is in full crawling mode and can get anywhere in a hurry!  He starting crawling at about 7.5 months.


He also has 3 teeth!  Peter went from zero to three teeth in a matter of two weeks!


Already loves to be outside...just like his brother.

 

Peter LOVES Carter and cries when Carter is upset and laughs at about everything else he does.  It is my favorite thing to watch. 

We love, love, love you sweet Peter!
