16 Weeks

So we're 16 weeks in and there's not a whole lot to report. Deanna has been pretty tired and felt consistently sick for weeks 8 - 14. She's feeling better now, but her body still shuts down around 8:30 pm. She goes to bed around 9:00 and I stay up to play Nintendo Wii (the new Zelda is fantastic). I'm sure I'll look back on this time and marvel at wanting to stay up to 1 or 2 in the morning playing games. According to BabyCenter.com, Lando is now the size of an avocado. So far, we've had a sesame seed, a lentil bean, a raspberry, a kidney bean, a grape, a kumquat (exotic!), a fig, a lime, a jumbo shrimp, a lemon, and now an avocado. Apparently, they write these updates before lunch. We had a doctor appointment last week and got to hear the heartbeat. Either Lando is developing rapidly, or he's already out of shape like his dad, cause the heartbeat was flying. We don't go in again until mid-January, when we hope to find out whether Lando will like the name or hate me forever. At this point, I don't have a preference as I figure he'll hate me either way when he's 16 anyway.

(I'm using "he" instead of "it", because "it" sounds so impersonal and "he" is one less letter than "she". If he winds up being a girl, I'll come back and change these so it looks like I'm psychic)
