30 Weeks and Growing!

Mommy at 25 weeks and 3 days

A couple of pictures from our recent trip to Monterey/Carmel.This one was taken at Monterey right in front of a gift shop. I think the top makes my tummy look bigger than it is.

Same tummy except in a sitting position. Tummy looks smaller.

Half Way Done

Mommy is now 20 weeks and 3 days. Daddy took a picture of Mommy on her 30th birthday wearing the necklace that Daddy gave her. Mommy has gained about 15 pounds. Normal pregnancy weight gain is about 25 to 35 pounds.

Dates

Last ultrasound was a week ago on Tuesday 5/20.2008. Baby Yen is going to be a boy!

Daddy felt Baby kick for the first time on 5/22/08, although Baby has been kicking a lot since he was 17 weeks. Baby is now 20 weeks and 3 days.

Pictures

Me at 15 weeks and 4 days.

Me at 18 weeks and 3 days.

Boy or Girl?

It is too early to say whether Baby Yen will be a girl or boy. However, during ultrasound today, the technician said that her guess is a boy. Jerry asked her how likely she is correct? 50/50, 60/40, or 70/30? Usually more than 60/40 and 70/30 she said. So we will see if Baby Yen turns out to be a boy. Its heartbeat at 13weeks is 150.

Cravings

Mommy craved for the following food during her first trimester:

• sour cream & onion potato chips
• burrito with beans and sour cream
• pickles and meat, especially beef
  
• occasionally ice cream, but not as much as anything that is sour or meat

Mommy is going in to her second trimester tomorrow.
