July 3 - Out at the Land

I finally have some pictures of the land and the new barn that's being built out there. Yesterday one of my friends, Rachel Hunt, came over and hung out with me. We decided to go out and see the land. The last time we went out there, there was a funeral in process, which was really weird, so we left. But not yesterday!! I took her to see the barn and the horses. The barn's coming along really nice. They've made so much progress on it in such a small amount of time!!! Steve and Yavonne are already picking out colors for it, which is really exciting.

Brooklyn enjoyed being out there yesterday. She loves going out to see her daddy!! She tried to help him while we were there; I captured a couple of pictures of it without even realizing it!!

The horses are doing really good; they're as fat as ever though!!! Brandon headed out this morning to mow their pasture!! It needs it really bad. I think the weeds are up past their backs by this point!!!

Okay.....So, I'm 6 weeks along today!!! Isn't that exciting!!! Crazy Crazy Crazy!!!

Week 6:

The cells that will make up all of your baby's body parts and systems are dividing furiously as her body begins to take shape. Right now she's about the size of a small lentil bean (4 to 5 millimeters across). If you could see through your uterine wall, you'd find an overlarge head and dark spots where her eyes and nostrils are beginning to take shape. Shallow pits on the sides of her head mark her developing ears, and her arms and legs appear as protruding buds. Her hands and feet look like paddles, with thick webbing between the developing digits, but her fingers and toes will soon become more distinct. Below the opening that will later be your baby's mouth, there are small folds where her neck and lower jaw will eventually develop. (Inside, her tongue and vocal cords are just beginning to form.)Your baby's heart (which is starting to divide into the right and left chambers) is beating about 100 to 130 beats per minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to circulate through her body. Her intestines are developing and tiny breathing passages are beginning to appear where her lungs will be. She's also starting to build muscle fibers and, halfway through this week, she'll likely start moving her tiny limbs. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to wait until you're several weeks into your second trimester before you get to enjoy feeling your baby's calisthenics.




I went to look at hospitals the other day and try to find the right one....and that's St. Mary's. I really loved the Maternity ward and the staff was so awesome. They were all super nice. Tomorrow I'm gonna call some doctors and go ahead and make me an appointment. There may be a chance that I can get the doctor that delivered Brandon....but we're not for sure. I'm gonna have to call and find out!! Anyways, I'm gonna go!! Hope everyone has an awesome 4th of July!!!! Love you guys!!
