Kim cooked an amazing turkey in our fryer!

Just in case there were any doubts. Still a boy!
Look at those chipmunk cheeks! No more alien face for our boy. 
Uncle Brent will love this one. Gavin picking his nose. Its a side profile picture, but at the time, he decided to pick his nose for the camera.
Our little man sticking his fingers in his mouth.....tastes yummy. 
Gavin can stick his feet up, and put his toes on his forehead.

week 21
Boy, do we have a mover and a shaker. Its a true California kid growing in my belly right now, he's all about going 90mph during an earthquake. I think that is going to be his nickname, Earthquake. I've been able to feel him move around, started about 2 weeks ago, the feelings are getting stronger and are happening more and more often. Its more than just the fluttering now. He's straight up doing the backstroke and kicking around, lounging around inside his personal jucuzzi. He's a big and healthy boy. We had a dr appt yesterday. His heart rate was in the 140's. My weight gain is officially at 13 pounds. No comment. Its all for the baby is what I keep telling myself. He's growing and moving all around.
Kim and I have really got a new look on the pregnancy since we've felt the baby move. The first time Kim was able to feel a punch it was so exciting. It made this more than just, "Oh yeah we're pregnant". There's really a baby in there, our baby. Our little Gavin. It made it more exciting and now we are just filled with anticipation and fright.
I would like to give a big shout out to Heather. She gave me a HUGE bag full of 0-3 months boys clothes. Oh my gosh and she gave me all the little sports stuff that say "little slugger" and "future quarterback" plus, a bunch of clothes with little doggies like Crash on it. So big shout out, I think we're gonna be able to get by 0-3 months now. So we can now switch our focus to getting 3-6 and on now. Thank you Heather for having a baby 7 months before me!
Other then that, we're in full holiday swing. HOpefully everyone has gotten their christmas card by now. Let me know if you didn't, and I'll figure out why not. I'm getting ready to fly home for the holidays, Kim is unfortunetly not coming with me but because he's working now, he should be able to see the baby born. Then, we're out of the military and he'll be around all the time. Which is great, because I'm going my 9 months....he gets the next 9 months!

week 19
This is a bunch of crap. Let me explain further.....
When I wasn't pregnant, even with all the drinking and staying up late and waking up early to go to work, and the stresses of working and deployments.....when one day went by, I aged one day. No big deal. It was a day that went, a great day married to a great man with a great dog, I was happy with that one day.
BUT when you are pregnant......one day goes by and you age a fucking week. Two days go by and I've aged 2 weeks! So the whole of pregnancy, (we'll say 35 weeks, because I found out I was prego at 5weeks) 35 weeks, that's 245 days! That's 245 weeks in aging......thats 4 and a half years I've aged in those 9 months. And I can assure you right now, I have not enjoyed 4.5 years of life in these 9 months. Does anyone agree with me??
As for everything else that goes....I love being pregnant during the holidays. When I help myself to that extra plate at thanksgiving and that second helping of pie with extra whipped creme, no one judges you. Everyone just looks at you and says, "want thirds?" Its great.
We have another ultrasound coming up Dec. 17 so stand by for more pics of little man and some baby shower pics. Also more stats on our little slugger.

week 17
So, stats on our little man:
He's freakin' huge! 8 inches long this worm. And he weighs 6 ounces. Now according to all the baby books, he's suppose to be 4-6 inches and no more than 4 oz. He's gigantic!
My belly is 32 inches around.
I have upgraded to 3 pillows. One between my knees, one to rest my head on, and one to put behind my back. Did you know, that after 16 weeks the mommy is not suppose to lay flat on her back anymore?? They say this because the major artery and vein that supply and remove blood from the lower half of your body runs through your diaphram. By laying on your back, the baby puts pressure on this artery and vein, causing them not to work as effectively. Thus a mommy will get leg cramps, vericose veins, swollen feet, poor circulation to the baby, and stuff.
My gosh, so much is changing when you're knocked up. My high risk doctor decided that we should keep the due date where its at April 27. But she said to prepare myself to go into labor 1-2 weeks early. Especially if he keeps his growth rate up, we should be expecting to see him sometime around mid April.
I wanted to let you know the things I miss the most.
1. sleeping on my stomach
2. caramel apple martinis
3. Sam Adam's Winter Lager beer
4. My morning cup of coffee that gave me that swift kick in the ass
5. corn dogs
thus far, 78 days sober, without even a drop of goodness.
Who else thinks that we should be able to just lay an egg?
