Week 28 & 29

Diary of Baby Turner (weeks 28 &29):

What a fun week it has been for me and mom and dad! We got to go on a vacation to Kansas City for a couple days last weekend and we watched the Royals beat the CO Rockies....I cheered loud Uncle Blake, aren't you happy? We also went to the zoo and they told me all about all the cool and funny looking animals they saw, I can't wait to go back and see them myself! But it was a blast having our 1st family vacation, I can't wait for all the fun vacations that mom and dad were talking about taking me on! Oh and when we got back from KC, I had a crib waiting for me that Great-Grandma Ginalee got for me! So daddy's been working on getting that put together, he's got the sides together and just needs to make room in my nursery to put the rest of it together. It's an awesome bed though, I can't wait to sleep in it!!

Not only did I get to do lots of fun things this week, but I also have been really growing in here! Mama keeps talking about how big I'm getting and how I'm weighing so much more now--already 3 pounds! It must be all this baby fat that I'm getting! And, as always I still sleep quite a bit during the day, but just lately, I've started dreaming! And I've really been working on my sucking, coughing, breathing and blinking skills as well! I'll be all practiced up and ready to go once August comes! I sure don't want to come before then, I want to make sure I'm completely developed, but if for some reason I should come early, I am far enough along now, that with the doctor's help, I should still be ok! Isn't that exciting? I'm almost all done! I've been moving around a lot more and will stick my knees and elbows up into my mama's tummy. Mom and Dad love it when I do that, they poke around at me all the time! I hope the poking stops after I come out in August. :)

I've only got 11 more weeks to get practiced up on more skills and to develop more and my lungs need to get stronger, so I'd better get back to it! Can't wait to see you this weekend Uncle Blake, Aunt Carlin and Cousin Reece! You are going to LOVE the presents that we got you man! :)

Love, Little Man Turner

week 27

Diary of Baby Turner (week 27):

This week my mama and daddy took me to my 1st movie in the theater, it was so loud, but I loved it. I think I'm gonna be a movie lover like my daddy. All the loud noises kept startling me, I was moving all around the whole time, but I think mommy liked that. :)

I had a doctor appt this week with my mama too. It went well, the Dr. listened to my heartbeat and measured me and everything looks normal. My heartbeat is now 140 beat per min. Mama had to drink this super sugery orange drink that tasted like orange pop (only much much sweeter). She had to drink it in 5 min. when we first got there and then wait an hour and they did blood tests. Hopefully those come back normal and she doesn't have gestational diabetes. Next appt. is 3 weeks away and after that they move to 2 weeks apart! That means we are getting really close to my birthday!!! Do you have my birthday present yet Grandpa Ron?

Speaking of birthdays...cousin Reece turned 1 year old this week!!! I can't wait to come celebrate with him over Memorial weekend! It's so great having such an older and wiser cousin to learn from. :)

Mom and Dad have been working hard this weekend on trying to get my nursery room all cleaned out and ready to put all my clothes and furniture in! It's been a fun weekend! And next weekend, I can hardly wait....the 3 of us are heading to Kansas City for a Royals game and to just hang out and together as a family! Don't worry Uncle Blake, I know they are playing the CO Rockies and I will cheer loud so that we beat 'em!! GO ROYALS!

It's sure been fun changing positions and sticking parts of my body up into my mommy's tummy so she can feel it....she and daddy sure like poking me, trying to feel me! And all these noises I'm hearing so clearly now...especially my mama and daddy's voices, it's been so fun listening to them! Oh and it was so fun last weekend, getting to celebrate mother's day with my mama! I went garage saling with my mom and both grandma's...they found some great stuff for me! Then I got to see my Great Grandma and Grandpa Buhrman and Great Grandma GinaLee too! It was a great mother's day! Daddy helped me out and got mama a Royals jersey for Mother's day to wear to the big game on Friday!

Well, better let mama get to bed, so I can move all around!

Love, your 2 pound little man!

Week 26

Diary of Baby Turner (week 26):

Amazing! My eyes opened this week....not much to see in here, but it's still so cool! Can't wait for all I'm going to see in 14 more weeks! And it's been so fun to listen to mommy and daddy's voices. At night daddy will get real close to me and talk to me, I try to let them know how much I like hearing him by kicking and punching so they can feel me! That's how I can talk back, at least for now. OH and they told me this week that they finally decided how to decorate my nursery. I guess they found some bedding that's blue and has elephants on it...hmmm, it better be cool! :)

And last night me, my mama and daddy were at Worship Team practice, we've got an awesome Concert of Prayer tonight to kick off the National Day of Prayer and we had a long practice with the worship team last night. It was so fun, I decided I love all that music, especially the drums! Maybe I'll have rhythm like my daddy! Can't wait for tonight, I'll be worshipping the Lord from in here...at least God will see it and hear me! :)

Well, I'd better get to moving all around!

Love, your little drummer boy
