Baby Cakes
posted in Baby Cakes |More than half-way done baking! Today, T and I went in for our anatomy ultrasound, where they measured Baby Cakes and checked out his organs. All seems to be well so far. (*knock on wood*) I’m at 21 weeks, 4 days and have gained about 14 pounds, which puts me on track to be at the upper end of the recommended 25-35 pound gain! I was somewhat reassured when my very petite, very slim co-worker told me she had gained 50 pounds with her second child.
Anyways, I could stare at Baby Cakes all day, but during the ultrasound, he covered his face with his hands a couple of times. I think he was telling us he wanted some privacy. I imagine he knows he’ll be the center of attention in about four months so he’s enjoying his privacy while he can. =)
Oh, and in case you’re wondering why we call the baby Baby Cakes, it’s because we were originally calling the baby by whatever size fruit the baby was being compared to on any given week on The Bump. At one point, the baby was apparently the size of an onion and neither of us found the name Baby Onion appealing. T thought of that line in Shrek about both onions and cakes having layers and…well…Baby Cakes was born. He’s been Baby Cakes ever since.
(I’m always so hesitant to post anything about the baby because I’m paranoid and superstitious. On the other hand, I also want to be able to look back on my blog and remember this time so I’m trying to overcome the superstition. After all, left unchecked, my paranoia would have me wait until the baby is born before we start the nursery or buy anything…)
