My Precious little baby

I have loved you from the start

You are a tiny miracle

laying closely to my heart

Each day I feel your presence

Each day you quickly grow

Each day your heart beats slowly

as only I could know

So I'll keep this in a special place

And remember each year through

of this very special time of life

The months I carried you

From Clayton Lane

Well, here I am…in 4-D.

Don't mind the "cord" up close to my face….it's kinda crowded in here.

I didn't really want to cooperate. I was sleeping. Mama had a baby shower at work and fed me lots of cake and I was snoozing hard, but I did manage to show my face a little bit. I showed my "boy parts" A LOT just to assure mama that I was still "all boy".

See you all in just 2 months!

Daddy and Mommy at 30 weeks

Daddy FINALLY feels baby kicking!

Jonathan finally got to feel Clayton Lane kicking...unfortunately it was in the middle of the night! Guess daddy got a little TOO CLOSE to mommy for his liking.

Met Kara for lunch. Mentioning food was one way to get her out of bed!

The count-down is on...100 days to go!

26 Weeks!

Less than 100 days to go!!! The count-down is on!!!

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take two to three days.
