Baby Muffin: Week 14

As you can see from the post title, Baby Parker has been named Muffin. Last time around, before we knew that Peter was going to be a boy, we had dubbed him Button. We thought about reusing the name, but decided we prefer to have a unique name for each baby.

We will find out Muffin's gender February 19. Right now s/he is busily growing and making Mommy sick. Peter and Mommy heard the heartbeat for the first time last week. Peter still doesn't quite grasp that there's a new baby growing in Mommy's tummy, but he does know that we call the tummy "Baby." We were quite proud of this brilliance until he also called Daddy's tummy "Baby" and we realized he just thought that was a word for tummy.

At this point, Muffin is about 3.5 inches and weighs between 1 and 2 ounces.
