So busy
Not me...baby J! He seems to be reading along in my Sears pregnancy book, and that book said movement really ramps up in the seventh month (so from when I hit six months until just before hitting seven months). J has taken this to heart. He now moves for longer stretches, and his movements are much bigger. D & I watch with amazement (and a good deal of amusement) as my belly moves.
I did figure out over our weekend away that J doesn't wake up and move much in the car. Of course, we drive a seven-year-old Saturn that lets riders feel each and every bump in the road, so he was probably lulled to sleep by all the jiggling. He does seem to be awake more often overall. And I have to say that I'm loving it! I hope to learn more and more about him and perhaps even catch glimpses of his personality.
I've noticed that he likes a nice driving beat. During the American Idol finale, eventual winner David Cook got to perform with ZZ Top. J seemed to really like that. He went crazy with kicking both times I watched it. He also seemed to enjoy "Hero," which the finalists sang together as a duet. So cute!
In other news, I may actually be able to take care of J's diapering needs at this point. We now have a dozen prefolds (the cloth diaper most people think of when "cloth diapering" is mentioned) and a half dozen fitted diapers along with covers for those diapers and wipes to take care of messes. A friend is loaning me even more of the fitted diapers, so we'll have a good stock of those. At least one thing is coming together!
And yesterday we hit 24 weeks, the viability point. Before then, many hospitals won't even attempt to save a prematurely born baby, but we're now in the range that most hospitals will try to save the baby. Yay! It's so nice to hit these milestones.
