Christopher is ensuring that we know he is still here… He is moving more than ever before, maybe because he has had a BUSY week. The movement could also be from his excitement. He is about six weeks from his bday…
- He’s recognizing and reacting to simple songs. (He may find them soothing after birth.)
- He’s also urinating about a pint a day. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
Monday brought more photos of the little man. It was difficult to get a good photo, with his active nature in utero… You can make your own judgments, but looking at his photo, there looks like a huge finger on the right side. (Jack says he is the devil’s child… He is 50% Jack, sooooooo…) Ultrasound photographs are most definitely not the highest quality, but still amazing. The best part of this week’s appointment? I got to watch my son yawn. It is one thing to see him moving on the screen, but to watch something so human. AWESOME sauce. His arrival is becoming more real everyday…
A bit on the creepy side… The image of his momma makes it better. Right? Haha.
On Tuesday, we attended an Infant CPR class at The Women’s Hospital of TX. (The hospital where I was born and Christopher will be born as well… Full circle.) The class itself was quick and helpful. Jack had tons of questions and, of course, competed with me when it came to the chest compressions. Typical. I believe I won.
On Friday, my doc ordered a NST. (Neonatal Stress Test) This is routine, especially for a patient with Type 1 Diabetes. Needless to say CTC is healthy. The doctor laughed when she saw how much he moves within a 15 minute time span. Again, we are in TROUBLE. We have an active kid, for which I can thank his father… Who NEVER sits still. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/prenataltesting/non-stresstest.html
As the week progressed, some gifts for Christopher arrived. He has a collection of books already. According to his father, he will be reading by three, because he was reading at three. Well… I believe it will be closer to two. Haha. CTC is inheriting a lot of intelligence. What kind of intelligence? That has yet to be determined.
See “Of Mice and Men”? Starting him early… That is my copy from high school.
Check out a few more photos from the week: Love you CTC. You are almost here!
CTC’s bookshelf; Pre-touch up (Passed on from his momma), Buster Brown shoes, circa 1979 (Passed on from his momma), and Christopher’s new ride…
