Week 22
How your baby’s growing: Your baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound. His skin will continue to appear wrinkled until he gains enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his head and body is …
Week 20 and 21
In the traveling journey for Baby Agnew, we should be at week 20, but when we saw lil’ Obadiah in the ultrasound, the nurse told us that he was actually measuring a week ahead. Amanda was thrilled to hear this since the men in my family have normally been large boys at birth. So, our …

She’s begun to feel some flips in her stomach down there. Whoever it is down there is starting to make his/her presence known for sure. Which …

Consumerism Christmas Commences
Amanda and I probably got 87.7% of our Christmas gifts bought today! And what’s even more amazing is that we never left Greenwood! I know – it is unheard of but tis true. It was fun and not too crazy, but we had our budget, and we started working down the list and we were …
