week 34: t-minus 6 weeks and counting

According to our baby sources, Dr. Rosenberg is growing exponentially, and is developing more layers of fat on his body. His lungs are in good shape by now, and we even felt him having a bout of the hiccups yesterday afternoon. Poor little guy. While I was admittedly thrilled to finally feel him moving around again (see previous post about how he likes to fake me out), it was heartbreaking to feel the rhythmic little bumps, as he tried to figure out what the heck was going on. Did mommy eat something spicy? Did he take a little amniotic fluid "down the wrong pipe?" Was this some sort of cruel joke? Who can say.

Meanwhile, Overboard is once again feeling a bit lethargic as her body demands more rest these days. However, she's still having a pretty easy time with things, and hasn't yet had any weird cravings (unless you count the way she dove into the Passover gefilte fish, but maybe that's just me).

My favorite Overboard-ism these days is when she looks over at me, rubs her belly, and announces that, "I love this baby so much, and I haven't even met him yet!" I know the feeling. Yeah, we're sappy, but it's our kid. If you haven't had one yet, you'll be spouting little Hallmark comments yourself one day. And if you have had a kid, well, you've probably said a lot of things that would make others squirm.

Speaking of which...feel free to respond with a comment! We want to hear from everyone!
