Breezy's Bravery && Such

So most of you know that my niece Brianna has Cystic Fibrosis. Well next week my sister, brother, and sister in law is putting on a wonderful benefit for Cystic Fibrosis!! Which is going to have the great artist Ric Standridge and a music performance by Angie Aparo. 30% of all the proceeds are going the the cystic fibrosis foundation. It is going to be a great event and wish i could be there but i am actually going to visit them the day after. So Fidel & I are super excited about that. When we go visit them we are going to go and register for the baby shower and Jessie is going to take some pregnancy pics of Fee & I , and we are just going to have a great time seeing The Famous Brianna "Breezy" Shiflett, and of course it is always a great time seeing Nate and Jessie we haven't seen them since Thanksgiving !! I can't wait. I think we may have decided on a middle name we are thinking it might be James (thanks Nate for your suggestion) It is the name of my Late Grandfather James Henderson who was only the best man in the whole world. It is still up in the air but it is the winner so far. On another note Gabriel has been kicking the crap out of me all the time now. I remember not being able to wait to feel something it is aggervating but also in a strange way the most amazing thing i have ever felt. It is the feeling of love everytime I feel him move. && almost comforting to know that he is still in there. I miss you all and know I have been horrible about updating this blog in the last 3 weeks. I will put up new belly pics in a few days because it definetly is growing everyday.

Also in a few weeks there will be a cystic fibrosis walk so I wanted to share this amazing little video that Jessie put together about Breezy. It is great and even can make you a little teary eyed!!

GIVE US YOU OPINION ON MIDDLE NAMES!!!!

20 WEEK FACTS:

YEAH I AM HALF WAY THERE!!! GIVE OR TAKE A FEW WEEKS!!!


Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

Congratulations! You've hit the halfway mark in your pregnancy. The top of your uterus is about level with your belly button, and you've likely gained around 10 pounds.

------> I HAVE ONLY GAINED 3 SO FAR !!! YEAH ME !!! THE BABY IS JUST GOING INTO THE FAT I ALREADY HAD!!!!

Expect to gain another pound or so each week from now on.
