Week 25 Belly pic

Well... we think it is pretty obvious that I am pregnant by now. The belly bump continues to grow daily.. as does Little Fisher. She is up to 1.5 lbs by now and will start packing on the baby fat more and more.. Tomorrow I go to the Doctors for a glucose test.. which means fasting until 10 am tomorrow.. Wish me luck.. Our doctor will also take measurements and make sure Lil Fisher is growing at the right rate..

And then Thursday I am off to Massachusetts for the Holidays!
Little Fisher will be celebrated on Saturday at a baby shower hosted by Diane Busse and Barbara Tierney.. I am so excited! See you guys soon... Happy Holidays to all!

Another great meal from "I'm pregnant Now what do I eat?"

Tonight's meal was Curried chickpeas and Tofu.. We had a side of sauteed spinach with garlic ( as this has been my favorite thing to eat to date) A yummy meal full of fiber!

Tony cooked and Megan ate.. Yummy yummy yummy!

Happy Saturday!

Tony and I decided to give a shared Christmas gift to each other this year, and it came a little early.
We picked it up this morning and are so very excited! Its a Canon 40D, digital SLR camera and we are sooo looking forward to taking lots of fun baby pics with this cam!
Here is a pic of the baby bump today!
And some pics of our lil pups too!

Week 22 Belly pic and a Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Lil Fisher goes on a hike with Auntie Em

Today we went on a great little hike in Malibu.. Auntie Em gave me (Lil Fisher) some kisses too!
Momma is slowing down a bit on her hikes.. but she still loves going!

Dasher is in for a surprise...

Our good friends Heather and Bob have graciously shared many of their used baby items with us. Today I brought home a playmat and baby tub from them. Dasher sniffed it and made himself right at home. He has about 4 dog beds in the house... he's gotta learn that this one is just for Lil Fisher...

BBC broadcast ! Lil Fisher's first Tv appearance!

LIl Fisher is a star! H1N1 vaccine

Today I decided to go ahead and get the H1N1 vaccine, The line was super long at the location I went to today... but fortunately they made an express lane for the pregnant people. So I ended up waiting about 1 hr 15 minutes. During my wait in line I was interviewed by the BBC. So I may end up on some broadcast tomorrow! Hah Hah. Guess I got the full experience. Lil Fisher's first tv appearance! Sweet!

Baby Bump 18 weeks!

18 weeks!

Some fun facts about how Lil' Fisher is growing:

Lil Fisher gained two ounces since last week...Momma Fisher.. more like 2 lbs, hah hah!
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born.

Hurray we are pre-registered at the Hospital!

The other day we received the great news that all of our pre-admission forms were accepted and they are expecting us around March 30, 2010. Birthplace at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center!

Officially Nesting..

Today was a great day!

Found a great deal on craigslist for a glider and we went out and got it!
We also ordered the nursery furniture! We are getting excited for Lil' Fisher!

I'm pregnant! Now what do I eat?

Megan's new snuggle buddy arrived today!

There is a first time for everything..

 ...and today that was Expectant Mother Parking! Rad!

The H1N1 shot..

                                             ( part of the line is behind me in this pic)

  Tony was a wonderful and supportive husband this morning and stood in line with me

for over an hour. The line was long and the News was there on the ground and in helicopters covering the story.We were about half way thru the line when we got the news that they had run out of the preservative free shots for pregnant woman. So away we went.

I will have to try again tomorrow. Oh well.

So folks.. we still don't know if its a boy or a girl!

10.21.09

We went  to doctor today but she was unable to tell if its a boy or a girl.
So it looks like we have to wait until the November 10th appointment for that exciting news.
But the great news from today is that we listened to the heartbeat  and it was beating strong and fast, and
we were able to do an ultrasound and get a quick glimpse of Lil' Fisher. Our doctor said that everything looks and sounds perfect.

Enjoy! We sure did!

Baby's Growth and Development at 16 Weeks Pregnant

• Your baby is about 4 to 5 inches long — about the length of a large pear.
• Your baby's skeletal and nervous systems connect enough to allow him to coordinate movement.

• When you're 16 weeks pregnant, developed facial muscles make it possible for your baby to squint, frown, or try other facial expressions.
• As back muscles strengthen, your baby is able to straighten his posture a little.
• Your baby now has eyelashes.
• By your 16th week of pregnancy, your baby's eyes move side-to-side and even perceive some light, although his eyelids are still sealed.
• Your baby's bones build and strengthen with the help of your body's calcium!
• Your baby already might be having tiny hiccups, although when you’re 16 weeks pregnant, your baby is not large enough for you to feel them yet!
