Will he look like his dad?!?

If I'm lucky...my son will be as cute as my husband was!

4 months!! BABY Yager is a BOY!!!!

It's not a SHE, it's a HE!!!!!!!! HAHAH, most of you were wrong on the Guessing game! Those of you who guessed BOY, Congrats!!
We were at our appointment at 9am sharp. At 9:45 we still were sitting in the waiting room (AHHHH). We finally made it into the ultrasound room around 10ish. The Tech pointed out the eyes, legs, arms, fingers, etc...THEN....the little squirmer spread his legs out as wide as could be! Sure enough there IT was! We were ecstatic!!! The Tech showed us the profile and said, "looks just like daddy". The appt. was perfect, other than it would have been nice to just sit in the ultrasound room with that little moniter on my belly all day. It's amazing to see all the movement!! Mark said he's going to buy the baby a baby guitar and teach him how to play. Now it's off to a 1/2 day of work (how the heck am I going to work?!?!?!). I might just have to first swing by baby gap and pick out my 'sons' first BOY outfit!!
Ultrasound Pictures Coming soon!!

15 weeks!!It's finally starting to sound like I'm getting somewhere! What's new with the baby this week? The baby's head is now resting on his/her well-formed neck instead of his or her shoulders. The baby is growing eyebrows and eyelashes this week. The hair on the baby's head has also began to grow.
Although the baby's eyes are sealed shut, (s)he's now able to sense light. His/Her eyes and ears finally look like real baby features now. The baby now not only has started practicing sucking, but also can swallow and hiccup! The baby is 4 inches from the top of the head, to the butt. He or she is getting big!
Big week next week. I'm so excited to see how big the little one has gotten in the past 4 and 1/2 weeks. I'm excited to see the profile of baby yager and see him or her wiggle around. I'm hoping this will be my last email of having to include 'He/She' in all my blogs. It's been fun dreaming both ways. Will it be Blue or Pink? Markus is guessing PINK, I go back and forth. Today i'm guessing BLUE. Time will only tell!
A post will follow on Tuesday!
love you all!

14 weeks!

Baby Yager now has fingerprints! Believe it or not, he/she actually
created them himself/herself while swimming around in the amniotic fluid. As he/she moved his/her hands, the skin on the tips of his/her fingers formed unique ridges and folds. That's why no one on earth has the same fingerprints, not even identical twins! Cool, right? The baby's arms are now in proportion to his/her tiny body, but his/her legs are still on the short size in comparison.


The baby continues to gain new and impressive skills such as practicing and controlling voluntary muscle movement. Baby Yager now weighs about an ounce and is the length of a flip phone, or roughly 3.5 inches. She or he has tripled in size from this time 3 weeks ago.


As for me, I’m doing great! Luckily, I’m still fitting in all my pants. I dread buying my friend pair of maternity pants, although I realize that day is quickly approaching. Mark’s also doing well. He had his first dream about the baby this past weekend. He dreamt it was born and was only 3 inches long. Fortunately his dream didn’t come true! Another week down! Looking fwd. to week 15 and finally finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl. Love you little one, keep growing!!

Week 13

Let’s see, what’s new this week? Baby Yager can now make a fist and even suck his or her thumb! His or her eyelids are now fused shut to protect their eyes as they develop. His or her bones and skull are solidifying and soon itsy-bitsy ribs may appear. The baby's intestines are finally right where they should be—in his or her belly instead of poking out into the umbilical cord. Baby Yager's tooth sockets are all loaded and ready to pop out baby teeth six or seven months after baby is born. His or her vocal cords and larynx are completed now. Baby Yager weighs about 20 grams and is nearly 3 inches long. That’s it as far as development for week 13.

On another note, Mark thought he was cute/funny this week by suggesting we name baby Yager (if a boy) Dave Matthews Yager……riiiiighhhhht, cause that’s going to happen. I can promise with all the Dave playing in the car he or she will be familiar with all the songs.

2 ½ weeks until we get to see our little baby Yager again! I’m praying the time keeps on flying.
