Thirteen Weeks

This isn't you either, but till we get some actual pictures of you, I have to nick 'em off googleimagesearch.

Well hello there "li'l peanut." Hah. Okay, we banned that name a week ago.

So now we're at thirteen weeks and according to one website, you're "roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp". Kind of made me laugh. You're probably about seven cm long or so and weigh about ounce, maybe a teensy bit more. Gosh. Vocal cords are developing, although you have teething to look forward to [ahem], all twenty teeth have formed and are waiting, and you've apparently developed many reflexes and will squirm inside if we poked your mamma in the tummy.

Your own unique fingerprints have even already formed. Doesn't that seem incredible?

Apparently this is also the time when "mothers feel their best. They are "over" the joys of early pregnancy and have more energy." You might want to tell your mamma that, because boy howdy, hello to the mood swings! Lucky for me, I'm 3000 miles away in NY so just experience them through our emails, but, well, I wonder how your daddy is enduring them?

What else is new... NY is still pretty cold, but not as bad. I managed to hang out with friends finally over the weekend. I'm off to Texas next week which I can't wait for. Oh, it was the Oscars [Academy Awards] on Sunday. I more or less avoided them, wasn't too interested - or rather, I couldn't be bothered to sit through the whole thing, I was happy just to find out on Monday morning who won. 'Crash' won Best Picture, which I was pretty surprised about, but in a good way. There's been so much hype about all these Brokeback shenanigans. I'm glad it was more of an outsider film that won it. I can't actually remember who won what else. Reese Witherspoon got Best Actress for Walk The Line [great film]. Ummm Clooney - Best Supporting. Meh, whatever, not that interesting.

I'm going to try and get your ma hooked up to this site so she can post too, as I'm sure you'd find that much more interesting. Since last week she told her boss the news and luckily he took it well. She just emailed me to say she's got to pee again - you've got a lot to answer for...
