Just past the big 1-6 week mark. No real big milestone but it can now apparently hear our voices. Ohhh fire truck! If it was deaf last week and can hear now, it is going to have quite the surprise hearing the words that come out of daddy's mouth watching the Bronco's game tonight. I was reading stories about kids saying funny things and thought it'd share this little gem:
While waiting for heavy traffic to clear, I hear from the back seat, my three year old: “Fuckin cars. What are all these fuckin cars doing here?”Driving down to the coast last night it said "heavy congestion" so I had to pull out all the stops and threaten Andy with Christmas Glee CD. Faster than a hooker in sketchers he was silent. Not a peep.
Apparently at week 16 baby's legs are now longer than it's arms. I guess Andy stopped growing at that stage. Sorry Andy, it's just too easy. Did you know that we have the same length legs? Yeah I'm 5'4'' and he's 6 foot. Not even kidding. Comes in handy when his outfit calls for leggings and to be fair I have an abnormally short torso. This could result in an extremely odd shaped child. Imagine a Steve Urkel silverback hybrid.
Had our first appointment with a midwife at RBWH. The student midwife tried to find the baby's heartbeat with the mini doppler and when I heard one I embarrassingly let out one of those One Direction tween girl squeals. Then the real midwife lady condescendingly said "Ummmm that's your own heartbeat". Bitch. Acting all cool, I replied, "Uh.... yeah... I knew that. I was just excited I was still alive." Sure I tricked her.
Now that my belly is growing a bit I've had a couple people ask if we are going to get maternity photographs. At first I'm all "hell no", but now I'm all "this could be fun". If you are expecting a Christmas pressie from the new parents this year please be prepared to receive one of the following prints for your lounge room. Taking orders now.

I'd also quickly like to wish my beautiful youngest niece Emerson a wonderful 4th birthday! She is the sweetest little girl and has already put together a bag full of her toys and has offered up her bed for the baby. You will be the best big cousin ever! (you too Ava) :)
