stinky baby

"Baby is able to hear what's going on outside the womb! Loud noises are startling, but classical music is soothing … She’s the size of an onion! Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints." Not a big onion fan, but I'll take it - it's pretty unbelievable that something of that size (and alive, nonetheless) is inside of me. Sometimes I'll lay there just to see if I'm missing any kicks or movements but there's nothing just yet - according to my many books, I should start feeling the baby move in the next couple of weeks... so I'm staying alert!

We went baby furniture shopping yesterday - there is sooooo much to buy. It's overwhelming. I've also been doing a lot of research as to how we should acclimate the doggies to the new baby. Very interesting stuff.

One week until we find out the sex (and five days until Jimmy Eat World and Paramore)! Next weekend is going to be full of awesomeness.
