Ethan Jace Shinn - May 5, 2011

He weighed 7 lbs 2 ounces, 19.5 inches long. He is absolutely perfect and we could never imagine life without him.  Jeremy is the best father and husband, I love you baby!!

BABY SHINN IS 30 WEEKS!

We went to the doctor yesterday morning, everything went great!! Baby Jace's heartbeat is 138, going strong. He now weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces. The doctor expects him to be at least 8 pounds, if not more. He is already facing down which is good for the doctor said he is running out of room. We are in love!!

BABY SHINN IS 29 WEEKS!

Dr. Update:
We go back to the Doctor on March 1st; at that appointment I we will be doing a 3D ultrasound if Jace cooperates with the camera, keep your fingers crossed!

Bump:
We are 29 weeks and 2 days today. We have 76 days left to our 40 week target!!


Food:
Veggie sandwiches with swiss cheese from Subway, yummmmy!!

Movement:
You can now see Baby Jace moving around without touching my tummy. Daddy has decided to download a Mozart CD to stimulate the baby’s mind. I don't know about his mind, but it definitely stimulates Jace’s body. He is a dancing machine when the bellyphones are on.

Mood Swings:
I am so exhausted right now, so I am sure I am moody…. hehehe

BABY SHINN IS ALMOST 27 WEEKS!

BABY SHINN IS ALMOST 27 WEEKS!

Dr. Update:
We go back to the Doctor on February 15th, at that appointment I will be doing my glucose testing. I have gained 2 pounds this week. My weight changes so much right now, every day is different. I think it is water weight but we will see if it sticks. I feel like I am as big as a house!!

Gym:
Prenatal Yoga and continue to workout when I am not exhausted.

Clothes:
They fit perfectly!

Bump:
We are almost 27 weeks, not much has changed since last week…. We are growing!
Food:
I am basically on a vegetarian diet right now, for that is the only thing that sounds good. I love love love veggie sandwiches with cheese!!

Movement:
I have been worried for over a week, for Jace was not moving very much. Thank goodness for Google!! Jeremy and I started reading up on it and found out that babies love Orange Juice because it is full of sugar. I will now start off my morning with 1 glass of OJ, Baby Jace loves it!


Mood Swings:
I often find myself just wanting to cry for no reason, but I have not broken down yet. I guess it comes with the territory!

Ethan Jace is a blessing!

Food:
I'm doing my best to eat healthy, but lets be honest sweets are always good right now! hehehe

Movement:
Jace wakes up every morning at about 4:30 am (I swear he is playing soccer in my belly). He is very active right now and I love it. He spends the day kicking my desk at work, it is wonderful. He does not want me to forget he is there.

Mood Swings:
My mood swings come and go…. hehehe

We're going to the doctor again on February 15th. We will be doing another ultrasound, so we get to see our little man again :) hopefully in 3D!! Jeremy and I are so very excited. Ethan Jace is the best gift we could have gotten!! Love you Jace, see you soon!!! (But not to soon…..) May 9th can not come soon enough!
