'I've got rhythm, I've got music...

...I've got my boys, who could ask for anything more!"

Sometimes I feel like Gene Kelly and Judy Garland are doing a Broadway tap number in my belly! Our little boy is always moving! WE ACTUALLY SAW MY TUMMY MOVE WHEN HE WAS KICKING TONIGHT! We've been talking to him and I'm sure he's always bombarded with sounds because of my job---2 year olds aren't the quietest...But i read something interesting on Babycenter.com---Our son can hear and move to music! Read along...

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze him when he hears them outside the womb. Steph is 23 weeks today.

"Lucy is STILL A GIRL, MATT!"

My poor lil puppy! She had to get fixed this weekend and Matt has been teasing me that she isn't a girl anymore! She is so sore and when she gets excited, she tries so hard to show you but her tail wags so slow--Her tummy is very tender and has been trying not to extend herself very far...poor sweet thing! She should be 100% back to normal by the end of this week and has been making some progress!

Matt and I went to Target this weekend and registered there! I made sure to keep track of the items that we didn't like at BabiesRUS whether it was too expensive or not the right style and registered for it at Target--We are so happy with our list even though we fell like we have no idea what we're doing! Lord, we totally need you to help us raise this baby boy! Look how cute this outfit is!


Steph is getting bigger (whoa!) and feeling A LOT of movement! She is 22 weeks today and at 11 inches
(the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, our baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Oh yeah--Thank you Jenny Roberts and Angela Shaw for inspiring me to make our blog a little more 'us'. You can change your blog background at www.thecutestblogontheblock.com
