Introducing Guppy

Hi, my name is Guppy. I am just over 2 inches long and I weigh 1/2 ounce, I like to compare myself to the size of a lime. I am over 12 weeks old and growing big and strong every day.

When my Mommy first went potty on the stick...and it came out positive, my Daddy couldn't believe it, and made her take another one...2 in 1 hour! Then a couple days later, she had to take another one! My silly daddy. A postive is a postive:) BUT, he is so excited to meet me. He talks to me all the time and rubs my mommy's belly when she is feeling yucky. He's going to be so fun:)

Now that you are all excited to meet me, let me tell you a little bit about my wee self.

I enjoy anything with potatoes, especially mashed. I think I get this from my Daddy; he is from Idaho. I guess I am his little "spud" or "spud-let".

I haven't craved much sugar, but trust me....my time will come. However, don't tell Grandpa Davis, but I do have a hankering for M&M's every once in a while. Especially the Pretzel ones...again, they have salt:)

I am not a fan of Alfredo Sauce or Ham...even the smell puts me over the edge. Honestly, even the look of white sauce on anything looks nasty. Maybe someday i'll like it...but SICK, not now.

I love my mom and dad's bed and enjoy a good nap. However, I do make my Mommy get up 100 times a night to use the little girls room....I find it quite funny. I make her think she needs to go, so she runs in there...and just a wee trickle comes out. Then I throw my teeny little head back and laugh. Someday she'll think its funny too. I just gotta remind her that I am still in there.

I am not a huge fan of car rides, and I let Daddy and Uncle Lance know that last week on our road trip to California. How do I put this tactfully; Mommy barfed her guts out. I was proud of her for not getting it in her hair or all over the inside of the car. However, I don't think Uncle Lance and Daddy enjoyed the show. I felt better, that's for sure.

This past week I decided to pop out a bit and show Mommy and the rest of the world that I am in here and growing. Mommy's not huge yet, just getting a little bit of a belly. However, I don't feel bad. I need the space. I have a lot of work to do in here.

I am waiting until October to spread my tiny legs and show the world what I am made of. I love driving my parents crazy and not exposing myself until then. My daddy swears up and down that I am going to be his little princess, and Mommy thinks I am going to be her big football star. Mommy and Daddy already got a little excited and bought me an outfit...one for each flavor. I love having my own little secret.

I am planning my trip out of this nice warm uterus, sometime early March. The Dr says March 7th....but I have plans of my own. My mommy has her own idea on when she would like me to come...but I'm making the travel plans. This is a big day for me, I want to be fully cooked and ready for this grand entrance.

Today Mommy and Daddy got to hear my tiny heart beat. The Dr was pretty great and didn't make Mommy strip down and put those funny looking gowns on. I for one am not a fan of those....I feel cold and invaded and I am pretty sure my Mommy isn't a huge fan either:)

Well, like I said...I am busy growing, moving and shaking...so I must be headed for bed. I've got a busy agenda this week of developing my reflexes. Do you know that this week I am able to curl my fingers and toes.....that is why I was finally able to get this email out. I no longer have webbed fingers. Aghhh what a relief.

Well this is Guppy signing off. Hope you all feel like you have gotten to know me better.

For those of you who are a little slow....and need a little explanation....
I'M PREGNANT!!!
