Pregnancy through the weeks.....

A Dummies Guide to Growing a Baby

As we all know, there are 2,938 steps to growing a human baby. These are quite a lot of steps in comparison to a horse (1,190), field mouse (732), and Paris Hilton* (8) babies.

Teresa and I tried to count these steps in our own baby making experiment. I lost count at 2,384, but Teresa claimed she counted 2,939. I think she was high on nubain at the time.
Here are some highlights!

Week 18: Barely showing and looking at houses. Note: That is a hot chocolate, NOT a coffee.



Week 21: Compare bellies at your babyshower. More than half way there!


Week 23: Expose to sunlight regularly


Week 25: Add a love of the outdoors!


Week 26: Catch a butterfly on your finger


Week 27: Buy some nice stuff... it is the last chance you'll get!


Week 29: Go out to a fancy dinner and show.


Week 30: Start growing exponentially!


Week 31: Don't forget those walks in the woods.


Week 33: Throw a party!


Week 35: Go to fireworks.


Week 36: Chat with friends to develop fetal social skills.



Week 40: Will this baby ever come? (note: photo taken 28 hours before birth)



And there you have it! Stay tuned for our next blog post... The Hairy Baby!


*Note: For those Simpsons savvy individuals, please replace the words "Paris Hilton" with "Rory Calhoun", for this was the original joke that, unfortunately, did not make the cut... even though I like it more.
