So Little Baby Nelson (LBN) has taken to sending out updates to a select group of lucky recipients every couple weeks. One was sent one out at 10 weeks, and again at 12 weeks. Will there be one next week at the 14 week mark?? Only time will tell. More importantly, how is LBN doing it?? Mini iPhone?? If so, how does it stay charged?? So many questions.

10 Weeks (12/7/11)
Hello dad and future family, it’s BN. :)
Well, once tomorrow comes around I will have been in here 10 weeks. I’m a little more than an inch long, like a prune or a kumquat. Weird huh? The internet likes to compare me to fruit!
I’m getting some little fingernails and maybe even a little peach fuzz hair on my head. Inside my mouth there are some little teeth buds forming under my gums. My limbs can bend now preparing me for future gymnastics moves in mom’s belly. Can’t wait to kick a rib! J/k.
Mom’s doing ok…tired, cold, and nibbly…hey, I need nutrients! I’m growing like crazy up in here! I hear she hates wearing her jeans now…oops, my bad lady.
Well, that’s about it for now, I’ll send some updates here and there bc there ain’t that much to do in here except grow…*sigh*.
Maybe next time you hear from me I’ll actually be a fetus. Lookin forward to that.

12 Weeks (12/21/11)
My my my….time is flying! So, here is your new update on little adorable ME. :)
So, as of tomorrow I will have been in here 12 weeks. Some dude was probing around my space today trying to check me out I guess. Well, I wasnt cooperating very well! It’s been pretty sweet in here so I was practicing some acrobatic skills for him to just let me go back to hanging out and doing what I’ve been doing which is a whole lotta growing! I did give a little ‘shout out’ wave to my parents at one point which I think I heard a ‘whoa’ out there so I guess they got the message. (If I only knew of another hand gesture for that dude who kept swishing me around…..mom didn’t like when he wiggled that machine on her belly).
So, back to me and then a little more on my warden.
I am 2 1/2 inches long (like a big plum). My ‘play area’ is about the size of a softball. Since my last update I lost a tail and my fingers and toes are no longer webbed. Looking a little more human now! Whew! I was starting to wonder! Haha. All of my face parts are moving to their correct places now so I’m sure I’m getting better looking every day. Too bad I don’t have a mirror in here.
I also can’t tell what’s going on ‘down there’ yet (not like I can SEE anything) but they said 5 weeks from now we’ll be able to report seeing ‘something’ or ‘not something’.
Other developments:
I’m breathing in fluid but don’t worry, I’m just trying to strengthen my lungs. My vocal cords are also developing. I can cry without noise now, but I have a lot of screaming in my future…heheheee.
I can react to noise…and I think we have a large animal in the house. He can be my future horsey.
I’m also using my digestive system…not to be too gross here, but that means I am also producing waste. I think I’ll take after my dad. :)
On to the warden: mom is feeling good, but still tired a lot and lately has had some pretty harsh mood swings. Dad takes the time to talk to her about them and just stares at her and smiles while she’s releasing some emotions. Poor dude (smh).
I am happy to report (although she wouldn’t be) that her pants aren’t exactly working out for her any more. (I wasn’t digging a tight waist). Luckily aunt Steph gave her a good tip about a pony tail holder so mom’s way more comfy now for work and not worrying about popping a button. Bc that would be total embarrassment.
Well, that’s it for now. I’ll keep in touch…ain’t much else to do. :)
