23 weeks!!

Hello from BabyCenter!

Feeling pretty good? Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed now, your baby can feel you dance. Those dainty fetal movements have progressed to karate kicks. You may even be able to see your baby squirm underneath your clothing. You may notice throughout your pregnancy that some symptoms subside while others surface. These days, for example, you may find that any pregnancy headaches you had are a thing of the past, but your feet are starting to swell a bit. (Time to get out your roomiest, most comfy shoes or invest in a new pair.)

How your baby's growing: Your baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound. His skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare him for breathing. He can swallow, but he normally won't pass his first stool (called meconium) until after birth. Loud noises heard often in utero — such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze your baby when he hears them outside the womb.

We've decided that her middle name should be Huu-same as mine.  Ariana Huu Farrell .

Ryan's coming back on Oct. 1!!  32 more days!?! 

I really miss Fifi.  Every time I come home, I'd look under the tree expecting to see him laying there or chewing on his leash.  Sometimes it's too unbearable.  Little memories of him keep drifting back, making me miss him even more.  I feel like crying sometimes.  I miss holding him, petting his soft fur, and playing with his ears.  I'd like to think that he's in a better place now, maybe there's a bunny heaven for him.  Wherever he is, I hope he knows that he's greatly missed.

My pet bunny Fifi died.  I loved him, he was a good pet. 

Some dog attacked him while I was away.  I came home and found him laying on the grass.  At first I thought he was just napping, but as I got closer I saw his body was flat on the grass and I knew something had happened to him.  His body was stiff and his hair looked like it was wet.  I turned him over and saw dried blood on his nose.

This isn't Fifi's picture, but it's what he looked like

I put him in a box filled with litter and some hay.  I don't know what else to do with it.  I'd feel horrible if I pitch it in the garbage, I told my parents I want to burry him in the backyard but they said it'll rot and smell so that's out of the question. 

I got a hair cut! It looks great, and it feels great!  No more tangles!! 

I NEED A LONG VACATION!!!!!!

I love you Avideh!! You always make me feel better

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!
