First Birthday Party

Anthony's first birthday party was a success! We had a beautiful day for it, sunny and warm, which was great so that we could be outside! Anthony had a great time being with all of his family and he made out like a bandit! He has a ton of new toys and clothes to play with and wear! And he loved his smash cake that I made him! Below are some of the photos from today, the rest are available here.

25 Weeks

Today Anthony and I have reached our 25th week! He is now the size of a cauliflower, the whole head, not one sprig of it. He's moving around like crazy; sometimes using my bladder as a trampoline or wrestling with my intestines and other organs. He's a very active baby, so I'm thinking Matt and I are in for a handful once he becomes mobile. We have our appointment next week which includes my glucose testing. Matt took the day off so that afterwards we can meet with a potential pediatrician. I'm really excited about this one since they have great reviews and their office hours are perfect for us.

My mom and Matt's mother have started planning the baby shower! They've decided to co-host it, somewhere closer to Matt's mom since that's about halfway for the people that will be invited. (It's closer for the people in Providence and there aren't many that would be traveling form New York.) I'm really excited and I want to look at invitations with my mom soon. We also have a Groupon for customized M&Ms that she'll be able to order as well as favors!

And, lastly, tomorrow is my birthday! I'll be a whole 26 years old!

19 Weeks

Anthony and I are now at 19 weeks and he about the size of a mango! I still haven't felt him move, but I can feel pressure when he's pressing against something, especially when it's my bladder. (I think I felt a few movements this morning, but being half asleep I'm not sure.)

Matt's birthday was Monday (he turned 26) and I got him a PC onesie for the baby! Then when we were exchanging a coat, we bought Anthony a Red Sox onesie. This kid is going to be a sports fanatic just like his dad!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Matt and I are heading home to my parents' tonight! We're very excited to show them the ultrasound pictures!
