This is going to be a short entry. The weekend was totally uneventful. It was really weird not having my mom come to work on the basement. We received our first baby present in the mail this week. It was a bouncer seat from Beth and John. We were so excited to get our first gift for the baby off the registry. Thursday we received a call that our crib is in. We get to pick it up on Saturday which we are really excited about. Friday we went to Julie’s Halloween party. That was fun. Paul and I wore our bee costumes. I was a pregnant bee with a tight costume and he was a killer bee with a machine gun. I got to take pictures of all of the drinking festivities while consuming pop and juice but still had a good time as a bystander. We met one of U of M’s assistant football coaches but I had to admit to him that I would be cheering for MSU tomorrow. I have had more kicking now which is a cool but odd sensation.
News from the womb…
The bones of the middle ear have begun to harden to make sound conduction possible. The sound information transmitted to the baby’s brain won’t trigger an interpretation because the baby has had no experience with the outside world. Only sound intensity seems to register since loud sounds trigger an automatic startle reflex. In a week or two, the baby will blink or jump when it hears a loud noise. The baby is growing actively and begins to gain considerable weight making conditions in the uterus more crowded.
