My cousin has arrived!!

I had to share the good news...my cousin was born today at 2:51pm! His name is Carson Allen Schick. He weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 19 inches long. His mommy is doing super well and resting from her C-section! I feel so lucky my cousin will be so close to my age. I'm looking fwd. to the day we can play chase in the backyard, build sand castles by the water, and share funny stories about our mommies!

Welcome to the World Carson! I'll be there soon and we can be best friends forever!

I'm 7 Months (28 weeks)!

I'm seven months! Because I can't weigh myself, this probably is an educated guess, I'm around 2 pounds and 14 inches from head to toe. I enjoy kicking my mom in the belly botton, and enjoy making her crave Raison Bran Crunch. Together we've ate about 2 whole boxes this month-there is no guessing what is for breakfast, and if I'm luck I get it for dinner too! She's doing good, and so am I. Dad's doing well too! He treated my mom to Wok Hay for Valentines...Asian food, yummy! I found out dad likes the Lakers...I'm starting to get this guy-he's into sports. Let's see...Lakers, Bills, Titans, USC, Western, I guess I can look forward to many more jerseys from him! I can't wait until I'm older and we can go to a Superbowl together (I heard that's some kind of a big deal too!)

Oh, and guess what! I have two cousins, Baby Schick and Baby Hessick, who are due to be born any day now. They are due to come out of their mommy's bellys on March 7th. Baby Schick is a boy, but we're not yet sure about baby Hessick. I can't wait to meet my cousins some day!

Well Goodnight to you all! Thanks for following my progress in this blog! I'll update you more in week 29!

27 weeks! 3rd Trimester!

Mom and dad went to the doctors this morning to check up on me. I was in a good mood until my mom had to complete the oral glucose tolerance test. She drank some really nasty orange syrup to check if she had gestational diabetes...Yuck! So, when mom had her ultrasound, I really didn't feel like cooperating! I was comfy with my hands rested on my face, and as much as the doctor tried to get me to move them I just didn't feel like it. It was all because of that yucky juice, it's mom's fault!
Here's one picture...this was the best I could do!

On a more positive note, my doctor said that "everything looks perfect". I now have my head down, so that made mom and dad proud. My doctor said I'm going to be a "little baby". She said that she estimates I'll weigh 6 pounds at birth. I currently am at 1 pound 12 ounces. I'll have to gain weight quickly after birth, because I think my dad is expecting me to play football right away!

Oh and one last thing...I'm making my momma's tummy bigger and bigger! Look at the funny one below that is in her point of view!

More to come next week- 7 months! See you all in 3 months!

26 weeks! less than 98 days!

I'm now nearly 2 pounds and am 14 inches from the tips of my toes to the top of my head! I have finally opened my eyes and can tell the difference between night and day. I can also recognise familiar sounds such as my mom and dad's voice, the sound of my mom's heart beating, oh, and of course the sound of my dad's favorite band, Dave Matthews!

My mom's belly is getting bigger and bigger. She and Dad can now see me move from the outside. So...I tend to show off and do a bunch of kicks and make them laugh!
Next week they'll be amazed at these moves when they see me on the big screen TV! I'll try to smile for my picture! For some reason these pictures mean a lot to them... I'll show those to you all next week!

Love you all! (oh, and check out my swing...my little bro is trying it out for me!)

25 weeks!

From crown-to-rump I am now about 8.8 inches! My weight has increased to around 1.5 pounds. I continue to kick my mom and I think it's funny to keep her up at night! I'm just getting her used to getting up in the middle of the night so that when I arrive, she's ready!

My dad is really cool! He bought me my first football uniform with a matching helmat...sadly I have to wait until i'm four years old before it will fit me, but i'm still excited. Grandma Drost got me a buffalo bills jersey for Christmas, so i'll support this team until I can grown into my Titans jersey (they have a better chance of winning the super bowl anyways, but don't tell my dad i said that).

Two more weeks until I can show mom and dad how big i've gotten (Feb. 13). They will be so proud! Well mom and I have been up since 5am, so we're headed to bed.

Goodnight for week 25!

24 weeks, 6 months!!!

6 months! Baby yager is now about 8.4 inches and around 1.2 pounds! His increasing weight is really allowing mom to feel all his kicks and movement. Unfortunately dad has only felt his powerful kicks a few times...he likes to be funny and stay still when he puts his hand on mom's belly!
The following are pictures of my mom's growing belly, my very tiny diapers, and my cool new summer shoes!Enjoy!! See you in a few months!

Snow in Tennessee!

23 weeks!

1 week away from 6 months! Crazy! This week our baby is approximately 8 inches! He weighs nearly one pound! At our doctors appointment this morning everything was reported as normal! Thank God! His little heart was beating at 140 beats per minute. Unfortunately no ultrasound...we have to wait until Feb. 13 to see the little guy again! But time flies by and it'll be here before we know it!
