We bought a car seat!! I know it may not seem exciting but, for us, it's a BIG step! It's one of those seats where the base stays in the car and you can take the top off and carry baby... Then we wandered the baby section and checked out all the tiny clothes! We are allowing ourselves to be ultra excited...

Talked to Jennifer again yesterday. She has an appointment today and I get to hear the heartbeat-so excited. Ok, didn't get to hear the heartbeat- but that's ok.

Week 15 & 6 days
Your baby now weighs in at a whopping three to five ounces, and he's four to five inches in length. The bones that are now in place in his ears means he can probably hear your voice as you talk to your partner and pals and sing in the car. While he’s getting used to your voice, the tiny muscles in his body, especially the ones in his back, are gaining strength, so he can straighten out a little more. And thanks to his developing facial muscles, your baby is capable of making a few expressive frowns and squints, even at this early stage. (Don’t worry, those frowns have nothing to do with the sound of your voice!) And his eyes are finally working, making small side-to-side movements and perceiving light (although the eyelids are still sealed). Peekaboo!

The due date has changed again. Because Jennifer's uterus is so high they are not going to let her go past July 12... WooHoo- Just keeps getting closer!
