28 Weeks!!! 3rd Trimester!!!!

Welcome to the third and final trimester!!!! Wooohoo!!! We are officially in our 7th month! Last week I had a doctors appointment and we got to meet our new OBGYN thats going to deliver Penny. We both loved her! She was so nice! She did mention I was measuring very small and was a little concerned with baby's growth. So she had us do an ultrasound to make sure her growth was on track. Sure enough she's doing perfect! :)

We had our maternity pictures done this Sunday!! We had so much fun! We took them down at Seal Beach and we brought little Gizmo to join us in the family fun! :) We should get them back in a couple weeks! I'll be posting those as soon as we get them back!!!!

So.. I changed my mind on the furniture and we ended up ordering this!!! I think it fits her shabby chic style room much better! We should receive it next month! I cannot wait!!!!!!!

27 Weeks Profile

How your baby's growing:

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

26 Weeks!!!

Busy..Busy getting things ready!!!! These past two weeks we have been putting up wallpaper and nailing down all the decorating ideas! I've made some letters that spell out her name. They turned out so cute! I cannot wait for it to all be put together! Also made some curtain ties that will tie her curtains to the sides. I've decided to add some green into her color theme to give it alittle more colorful look. We will be ordering her furniture April 1st!!! eeekk!! I cannot wait for it to be done!

She's been kicking away and moving all the time. Just a few more weeks and we get the 4D ultrasound done! Cannot wait to see her little face! :)

Curtain ties!

Letters I made! 

She's getting BIG! :)

Working on wallpaper

How your baby's growing:

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip 

23 Weeks!

We are getting closer!!!!!!! :) Baby Penelope is growing so much lately and kicking away!!! :) Felt hiccups for the first time a couple days ago. So weird and cute! hehe..

We have been very busy prepping her room for the wallpaper! We finally finished cleaning this weekend! Her room is all ready to go! We bought her some shelving to put in her closet for her shoes and blankets and things.

Went to see my regular doctor today about my migraines and he said my sinuses are swollen and I might have an infection up in my sinuses. Glad we find this out 2 months later that its just a sinus infection! Geezz people! So, hopefully that will be cured soon and these migraines will be gone forever! =D

I feel like its been forever since we had an ultrasound. I miss the little booger! We will have a 4D ultrasound done at 30 weeks so we can see what little PJ looks like :) I cant wait!

On my free time I've been making flower headbands for her and little accessories to accessorize her cuteness :) I think we might start our own mother daughter business called... "Junebug bows" :) She can be my little model. hehe...

Anyways.. Here's some photos of what we've been up to lately! :) Enjoy! Until next time!!!!

23 Weeks!

Crocheting her a blanket! Thanks Krissy for teaching me!! :)  

See the bigger picture.

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

21 Weeks!!!!!!

We are growing,growing,growing!!!!!! :) This week has been exciting for us! We finalized on a name...

Penelope June Dobernecker

She has been kicking so much!! She has a kicking schedule.. 5am,10am,3pm,6pm,10pm and 1am! Seem to be the schedule everyday! :) I posted a video of my tummy and if you look carefully you can see her move! haha!!

I've been feeling pretty good these days! I have my energy back and my love for food is DEFINITELY back!!!!! The migraines still come a couple times a week which is a bummer but at least its not everyday like it was.

We have been busy cleaning Penelope's nursery out. Going through things getting rid of a bunch of stuff. In the next couple weeks we will wash down the walls and put up the wallpaper. I just received the wallpaper today!! I will post a picture of what it looks like!! :) So excited to start decorating her nursery!

Nursery Wallpaper

How your baby's growing:

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.

20 Weeks! Half way there!!!!!!

So, here we are half way there!!!!!  She's growing so fast now!! Notice how I say "she" cause Im not growing it's her ;) hehe.. I've been very busy breaking in our bank account buying all these cute new outfits for her! I just cant help myself! I got the wallpaper sample that I'm going to order for her nursery! It's perfect and the exact colors I wanted! Now it's time to shop for furniture and bedding! I love this!!! :) I will post pictures as the nursery is in progress. So much fun! I posted a couple pictures .. The ultrasound is of her profile at 18 weeks. This is when we found out we are having a girl. :) The other is of HER growing at 20 weeks. ;) 

How your baby's growing:

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).

18 Weeks!!!

I cant even describe how happy we are to be having a baby girl! This has been such an exciting week for us! Of course I started shopping the day after we found out! Having a girl might not be so good for our bank account!!! eeekk!

 This week has been alittle better with the headaches. Still having some bad days but seems like they aren't as often anymore. I feel like my belly has grown so much in the last week or so! We are really growing lately! Also, the past couple days I've been really feeling her move! Kicking all over the place! Such a weird feeling!!! Drew felt her kick for the first time yesterday. It made him melt like butter. He was so excited and so inlove. <3  I have a couple new ultrasound pictures that I will post soon. Also, an updated belly shot! Stay tuned!!!




Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!!!!
