32 Weeks!

This week's update from baby-gaga.com...

In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! This means you’ll probably get a swift kick if you put a hot pad on your ginormous belly. We have found Baby Noah to be responsive to anything pressed on the belly - we think he likes trying to see if he can tap whatever object - our hands or the doppler or even a book ;-)- happens to be on his little house. We have also discovered that he is much more responsive to sound, especially daddy's voice. He is by far his most active (although lately it seems like he is always active) when daddy's around and really likes to kick daddy's hand! :-) For the Elton John lovers out there-- yes, baby’s got blue eyes. At this point, all babies do, although depending on their chromosomal disposition, this could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is. Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a remarkably strong immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week, survive premature births. So it’s pretty much a done deal. Even if your little monkey’s planning on heading out early, their survival odds are in everyone’s favor. Time to celebrate. We’re talking baby-showers and alcohol-free punch!

Hi guys!

Just a heads up...early next week (probably Tuesday), you'll be receiving 2 things in the mail from us. Hopefully they'll arrive at the same time, but if not, please wait until they both get there and open them together! :)

Hope all is well...you never did say where you guys took your mini vacation to a few weeks back! Do you have pictures to share?

Oooh, fun! I will wait until P gets home from clinicals next weekend but that will be hard :) G-Pup is still going strong on the knuckle bone - that thing was huge!

It rained, we didn't take pics :( I guess I haven't mentioned it in a post yet :P We brought Noah on his first 2-day trip to DW :)

He is so fussy about things on his home, isn't he?
Makes a good shelf though!

Yay, the return of d's comments! I see you made up for lost time :)

Yup, the belly makes a fabulous shelf and an even better crumb catcher!
