An Avocado: 16 Weeks

While on vacation this past weekend in San Diego, the bump really appeared. There's no squeezing into my clothes anymore. Fortunately, Big Sis is a clothes horse and her maternity wear is cuter than my regular wardrobe, so I'll be a styling fat lady.

KP and I learned some valuable lessons while in airports and on planes in the last few days. Basically, it is the parents' responsibility to entertain and soothe their children while in these stressful public places. As parents of a not-yet-living-outside-the-womb child, we're trying to remember how non-parents feel about children that are not their own.

Here's our list: bring stuff to entertain your child. If your child is in a chatty mood, please chat with them. When you do not, this leads to the child asking the same questions over and over again. Please do not let your children kick the back of an airplane seat repeatedly. We understand that babies cry on planes...it's sort of a given, but do try to soothe the child...the rest of us want to know that you are at least trying. That's all for now, but this list might grow.

As for growing, so is Munchkin. It is the size of an avocado this week. For some reason though, my belly is more the size of a cantaloupe. Hmmm. Below is the first belly pic. Oh and for the stats, I am +4 lbs, as of today. Yikes. It's coming on easily now!
