Technically I won't be 13 wks till Sat but I won"t be on the computer then so I'm posting early,....
How your baby's growing:
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.In other news:
Lily was sick earlier this week, some 24 hr virus, nothing to major just a fever around 102. (Which makes for VERY cranky baby btw) Now Bethany has it but this is the 2nd day so she's feeling MUCH better already. Hoping Cody & I escape it. We have BIG plans this weekend, he just doesn"t know it yet! :P
I went to the JBF pre-sale last Sunday, found ALL the clothes Garrett could possibly need this Summer, I prob went a little overboard but I never get to do anything for him so,.... I also got the girls each shirts & sundresses. I had already gotten them some shorts & capris from JC Penny a few wks back. Now all they will need for this Summer is swimsuits. (Speaking of swimsuits I need to talk to my MIL about our swimming pool, hmmm,....) I also bought myself some maternity shirts, I had given mine way before deciding to try for this baby.
I haven"t heard anything about Grandma since Monday, at that point she was still talking & hadn't yet gone into the coma the DR warned about. Honestly, I'm afraid to call. I know she won"t be here long now, & I am happy knowing she won't be in pain anymore, but I feel like I can't face the reality that she won't be here anymore,....that my kids in all likely hood won't remember her,....they won't know how amazing she is, how she can find the beauty in ANYTHING, they won't get to hear her sing silly songs, tell old stories, or enjoy picnics & nature walks,....they won't see her creativity or have her to teach them arts/crafts. I am going to miss her SO MUCH!!! She was one of the very BEST parts of my childhood. She taught me so many things, I see her influence in me alot. I hope I am able to pass at least a little of her on to my kids,.....
I am afraid to call too. Thinking that if I do, then the end will come, and if i hold it off, the end will hold off too. Your kids, and my potential future kids may not remember her, but she will live on through her creativity which *will* be passed along through her art, crafts and writing. That's something that not many people can say.
