Quote of the Day

" At the sunset of our days on earth, at the moment of our death, we will be evaluaed according to whether or not we resemble the Child who is about to be born in the lowly cave in Bethlehem, since He is the criterion by which God measures humanity. "

Pope Benedict XVI

Our Eighth Meeting 141207

32 weeks, 1.6kg

8 weeks more. This little fella is quite a mover and a kicker. The one at the end of his little punches and kicks is poor frances. We could just spend time looking at the little movements of her tummy or just waiting to feel the little jerks with my hand.

It is surreal, how life is growing day by day and even from within the womb, he can interact with the outside world. I can located the position of his hand or foot and when he kicks or punches, I can push against it and he will withdraw, only to kick and punch again a while later.

So preparations are underway to prepare his room and soon also his cot, stroller and the car seats to accomodate him.

It is fitting that the scan this week could not get a shot of his face but his hand and foot.

Waiting for the day we can hold them in our hands
