So for those of you who know me or have ever had to work with me, you know about me and my lists. And binders. And calendars. And possibly have noticed my love for the Container Store. Anyway, being pregnant comes second only to planning a wedding as far as staying organized goes! So while I'm working hard to get a least one "baby" thing off my list each week, I feel like I add two or three more things each day that just HAVE to be done before she gets here. Not that everything has to be perfect, but I know there will come a time in the not-so-distant future where I won't care if anything gets done except a nap, so I'd rather try to get as many things done now as I can!
So back to why you're really here.... here's what Baby Lindsay is up to this week:
Turn on the radio and sway to the music! With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now (your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner) probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.
I am definitely not seeing her move yet, but I can feel her start to kick and move around more and more every day. Todd is waiting patiently (well, kind of patiently) to be able to feel her through my stomach, but so far, he hasn't been able to feel her quite yet. What a moment that is going to be -- I can't wait for his reaction!
