This blog is going to be slightly different from the usual. This blog is coming from the fathers point of view. So everyone who thought Jess was a good blogger just wait till you read my (Mark) blogging skills. I will start out by saying thanks to everyone who has congratulated us, sent us a card, supported Jess, and for all of you reading our blog.
We recently went to the doctors for the monthly check up, it was pretty routine. We got to hear Baby Huss's heartbeat, even though this time it wasn't so easy for the nurse to find Baby Huss's heartbeat because Baby Huss was moving all over the place. It is funny because when I picture babies in a womb I picture them in one of these....
If in fact Baby Huss is in one of these, we can be 100% sure it will be an astronaut. The rest of the doctors visit was normal, doctor asks us if we have any questions, Jess asks questions about iron, and if her gummy vitamins are good enough. Luckily enough, Jess's gummy vitamins are getting the job done. Not once does anyone ask me how I am doing or if I have any questions. I got a laundry list of questions that needs to be discussed. Just kidding, the doctor addresses both of us and Jess does a great job of including me.
Jess insists that I talk about how big Baby Huss is and other statistical information about the babies progress. Here it is folks, the moment you have all been waiting for....what fruit is Baby Huss the size of now......Baby Huss is the size of an.....AVOCADO!!!!! Jess is currently in week 16, Baby Huss is 4 1/2 inches long (Head to Rump) and Baby Huss weighs a staggering 3 1/2 ounces (still in the lighweight division). Stay tuned for next months reveal....Boy or Girl?????? Which basically just means do we buy a Blue and Gold or a Pink Sabres jersey.
Jess is coming along just great, she thinks that she isn't showing as much because she has more room in her body because she doesn't have a colon anymore...and apparently she could be right because the doctor agreed with her. Crazy, I know. Now is the time that I am supposed to talk about how I feel with this whole situation and how I am coming along. I also am showing a little bit more, unfortunately I do not have the luxury of not having a colon and having more room. We have been eating a little bit more unhealthy (compared to the ridiculosuly healthy eating of south beach diet) and a little bit more frequently, and of course I am going to take advantage of this. Just yesterday we were picking out ice cream and I was trying to sway Jess to the one I wanted. So what, I am taking advantage of the situation...don't judge, you would do the same.
On the emotional side I feel as if I am doing well, it still is a little bit unreal but more and more each day I get a little bit more excited and nervous. I think that once we know the sex of Baby Huss it will get a lot more interesting; picking out a name, colors for a room, do we want themes or different designs and all the accessories we will need to start picking out as well. Dealing with Jess's emotions are a different story, she does have some minor mood swings, nothing extreme, except when I was trying to influence her about that ice cream, she yelled at me and punched me in the my face. Of course I am kidding, that didn't really happen, like I said everything has been pretty minor. We are our usual selfs around each other, we often make fun of each other and push each others buttons but in a healthy and controlled way. I think all in all the last 16 weeks has gone by great and I couldn't be happier.
I hope you all enjoyed this blog and my point of view, we have to go take Beckham for a walk now. Be sure to catch next months blog, it will reveal the sex of Baby Huss and will be written by Milo and Beckham, yes that is right the cat and dog have a point of view on this whole thing as well.
