"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 — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb."
I think this is my favorite weekly update I have received so far! I have been turning on the Italian music and moving and grooving. And even more exciting is we have all seen the baby move! My sisters and Alisha and Dave and I sat around my belly just watching the baby kick. The little gymnast begins grooving after 10 pretty much every night. Every time Laura or Jenny rubbed my belly the baby would kick in response. It was so amazing! The first time we all saw the little bump we just started cracking up. It has been so much fun to actually see the baby kick! Here are some pics we took in the girls' adorable apartment the first night we visited them in their new place! I am so excited for them-and a little scared. Two girls all on their own! Trouble :) Please excuse the bare belly. We could only see the kicks with my shirt up for the world to see :) And I had to add in a pic of my adorable hubster tending to his new plant!
Oh my gosh those pictures of you and Dave and your sisters are so precious! Such genuine happiness on your faces, it's awesome. I am so excited to see you three! -Rebecca
