Is my baby ready for a BIG BOY BED?




Today while Kali, Drew and I were playing Hooked on Phonics.... yes Hooked on Phonics...( it has been the best white elephant gift ever), Brig was quietly playing in his room and since he was SOO quite I went to check on him. He was just laying in Drew's bed... JUST LAYING THERE!!!! This is NOT something that happens with Brig. He's a good kid and all but he has never been that good! I asked him if he wanted to come play with us and he said no, then I asked him if he wanted his blanky and he said ummm yes. After giving him his sweet blanky I left the room and checked on him a few times and he would just smile and look at me... about 20 minutes later Kali went in the room and came out saying MOM you won't believe it but Briggy is asleep! We turned out the light and shut the door... Is my baby ready for a big boy bed or is this just some type of random fluke? Either way it was nice for today.

Half way mark! 10.5 ounces of SOLID BABY-MIRACLE GOODNESS!

Today I am 20 weeks.. which means I only have 20 weeks left! Honestly this pregnancy has flown by...lets just hope that the 2nd half is as fast as the 1st. I was reading how the baby is growing and found it quite humorous...
This week you're carrying about 10.5 inches and 10.5 ounces of solid baby-miracle-goodness! Their little delicates bones continue to ossify and toughen while their itsy bitsy finger and toe pads are finishing up. Your little monkey now has teeth buds, although they’re hidden beneath the gum line. And finally! Their limbs have reached their relative proportions—no more alien baby! Their cute pink lips are more defined, and might be helping out in a bit of prenatal thumb-sucking. If you have a little boy, then their tiny testes are descending, though they have not yet passed the abdominal wall. What’s more, eyelashes and eyebrows are also visible. At this point, your little one really looks like a miniature baby—and we do mean miniature as your little swimmer currently weighs a mere eighth of their final birth weight. With half the pregnancy behind you, the most significant gains are yet to come!
