32 weeks is eight months of pregnancy! And the time is just flying!
I can already tell you're going to be the biggest goofball. Monday night, after our Infant Care class (where your daddy practiced changing diapers and swaddling), I laid in bed and you were going crazy, kicking up a storm and butting your tush against my belly. So I laughed. And I realized, the more I laughed, the more you moved! When I stopped laughing, you went even crazier, like hey, mom, are you there? And, when I woke up Tuesday morning, you picked up where we left off. It made me so happy to imagine you playing in the womb, silly goose. Monday's class, baby 101, essentially, was great insight into how much we already feel prepared for you. And how much is still unknown! Your daddy practiced changing diapers on a very plastic baby (not nearly as cute as you will be) and we played peek-a-boo with onesies. On Tuesday we had Infant CPR where we practiced what to do in case of an emergency with a blowup baby that was, again, a poor stand-in for you. And, on Wednesday, we got to see you, sweet boy! You're still head-down and perfect. We got to see you blinking and breathing and it was such a treat! This week, you're the size of a honeydew melon (or a Care Bear!) and your brain is capable of controlling your breathing and digestive functions. Your eye cells can officially see in color and your skull is developed, though not solid, so you can pass through the birth canal. This week, our new couch (perfect for cuddling you) was delivered and we are, as your dad says, getting our house ready for YOU! Can't wait, sweet boy. You are so so loved.
