Week 34

The baby is now about 5 1/2 pounds, his lungs are fully developed, and he's already capable of having dreams. (What on earth would a fetus dream about?) Mackensie goes to the doctor again this week, so hopefully we'll have more good news to report.

Week 33

According to people who know these things, Ben is now about five pounds, twenty inches long, and he's able to tell the difference between light and dark in utero. I can't imagine that it ever gets too light in there, but whatever. We've also noticed that he gets the hiccups from time to time too. According to Mackensie, his other hobbies include stepping on her bladder and punching her in the ribs.

What's all this then?

We're kicking this blog off at the beginning of week 32. According to the Internet, the boy is 4+ pounds right now and almost 20 inches long. Beginning this week, Mackensie starts seeing the doctor every two weeks, and soon it will shorten to every week.

We've made a lot of progress on the nursery lately, and we'll be getting it re-carpeted soon, which is the last major task for the room. Once it's fully furnished, we'll post pictures and/or video.
