This is a picture from last Thursday. I've been doing a lot of sleeping lately so when I feel to take a Week 25 pic, I'll submit here. Probably on Friday.
This kid is all belly. I've only gained one pound within the past two weeks. Yeah, one pound. Blame that on the fact my family history is jacked up (high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, cancer, just

As you may already know, we're having a boy. We nicknamed him Yoda due to the Star Wars theme we're doing for his nursery (which I quickly need to get started on). We have a list of boy names and to be honest, we really don't know which one is the winner. We had a list of names with Ethan (though I was determined to name him Jordan) and
Truth to be told, I'm technically speaking in the third trimester already. Yoda's body is measuring a whopping two weeks ahead and his head is a month ahead. A whole month? You know that means? That means big-ass baby.
But both of my doctors are going by LMP, so we're sticking to that. Let's check in to see how he's doing.
According to babygaga.com:
Your little grower’s physical proportions are pretty much
Today is Hump Day Bump Day (HDBD, for short) and I decided to include a special one:
You may have noticed a couple of things: 1) the asterisk next to 24 weeks. I'm 24 weeks according to LMP, but I was measuring ahead according to my last OB appointment. But we're going by LMP just to make it easier and I don't like debating which due date is what.
I'm pretty

So much has happened since I last checked in! Lots and lots of great news!
First things first - the major news: surpassing Ethan's gestation loss and reaching viability. To be honest, I never thought I would see those two milestones. It's huge. Reaching and surpassing Ethan's lost was very emotional. Reaching viability was equally emotional. This pregnancy finally feels real. I'm going to be a Mommy! M is going
You know what day it is? Viability! Woo-hoo! This is a huge, HUGE milestone! Let's check in on Yoda Bear:
According to babygaga.com:
It's another week full of exciting developments for your magical growing baby!
Just take a look at the checklist for this week: 1) ears: done; 2) fingernails: done; 3) (if you have a boy) testicles: taking their 3-4 day trip from the abdominal wall to the scrotum; and 4)

It's Hump Day Bump Day! Wanna see what I look like now? Let's gooooooooooooo!
I started tagging my photos for fear of trolls. I don't think anyone would do that since I'm also well-known in other areas of the web. Still, the prevalence of Catfish and the like, I have to be a bit cautious.
No weight gain at all! Remember when I said my weight gain has been less than

I'm in Week 23 of pregnancy! Let's see how Yoda bear is doing!
According to babygaga.com:
Your little womb hi-jacker is starting to kick their break-dance party up a notch now that his/her ears are registering sounds from the outside world!
The sound of a phone ringing (or that catchy ring tone), a thunder clap, or a car honking will actually jar their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent

I was looking at onesies last night. I wanted one specifically to be Yoda's "Coming Home from the Hospital" onesie and others for fun. I saw one that caught my attention. With the recent Trayvon Martin verdict, it struck a chord with me. I have a nephew, he'll be 15 this year, and he reminds me a lot of Trayvon. When the verdict was announced, I couldn't help but
