Here's what's going on this week with Whisler Baby Boy 2009:
Baby Stats:
Size: 11½ inches
Weight: 1 pound
Baby Developments:
Fat production is in overdrive at this point (for the baby, not Laura). The baby will basically double in weight over the next four weeks! The same won't apply to her.
Mini is starting to look more like a newborn as his skin becomes less see-through. His body is looking more proportional now, although his head is still kinda big compared to the rest of his little body.
The baby is about 11½ inches long and weighs 1 pound, or about the length and weight of a Harry Potter book...Or, perhaps a book by a proud, soon-to-be grandmother, Barbara Whisler. Check out her first book here. I'll bet you can guess who can't wait to read it to him.
What We're Doing:
Spring is in full swing and productivity abounds at the Whisler household. Let's get right to it. The first lawn mowing of the season was a success; it's kind of like my "Opening Day". The sweet smell of the grass, the roar of the engine and a back-to-back mowing of both yards was like a doubleheader. In addition, my confidence was lifted when I recently discovered a product that selectively destroys what many people call grass, but I refer to as the bermudagrass weed. Take that neglectful neighbors.
On a more baby-related topic, we began registering for baby stuff at a few stores. Soon, I will create a page on the blog which will provide lots of information about registries and upcoming baby showers. A big thanks to everybody who have already agreed to host them for us. We really appreciate it and feel the love.
On Tuesday, we went to the farm for our first meeting with the CSA (community supported agriculture). Each week we will take a share in the yield of organic vegetables, fruits, cheese, milk, bread and a variety of meats. All three of us are looking forward to it. As part of the CSA, we will provide 12 hours of labor on the farm during the season.
