Lemon Baby

Our baby is about the size of a large lemon! YUM! I love lemons too!!!

Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb. Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb. In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a large lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces.

YAY for little lemon babies!!! ;o)

Oh, before I forget . . . did Alex's Easter card arrive safely? You got the check for myfamily.com, so I am guessing you found it then, if not earlier (I know you don't always check your mail) . . .

Oh yes Alex got his easter card! I told him he could buy whatever he wanted instead of just depositing it into his bank account. He bought bubbles, a monster truck, 2 mustang match box cars, and 3 books. What a good little bargain shopper! (o:

He told me "Oh mama Gramma sent me a creepy bunny!" haha He was showing everyone his creepy bunny! (o:

Ahhh the bebe can suck it's thumb now! How cute! How was easter by the way? Did you dye eggs and have a hunt?

Did you decide on a girl's name yet? Another one I like is Maya or Abigail-Abby. Or Morgan, Makayla or Kylie. And of course still Erin.(0:

We haven't thought anymore on girl names.

It rained all weekend so no Easter Egg hunts.
