Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance (Josh says that this is unfortunate... he just doesn't appreciate my stellar dance moves). And now that he'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 him squirm underneath your clothes (I can and it's very cool). Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him 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 him when he hears them outside the womb.

I started working second shift this week and I'm absolutely exhausted. The job itself is much easier and less stressful which is nice. But I really miss our old routine. Hopefully this will get easier soon.

The pictures are from Tuesday. The second one looks kind of funny because of the V shape.
