Last night (Dec. 11th) was the first night that he's been so strong and harsh with his movements to wake me up... I thought he was going to crawl right out of me! He kept me up for about an hour in amazement of how much he was moving around. Though I was so tiered today because of it. I took a three hour nap and I'm thinking of going to bed early too.
Not only is baby Dexter getting stronger, he is now about thirteen and a half inches long, and weights about one and a half pounds. He is also getting more baby fat and practicing breathing, swallowing, crying, out-of-the-womb activities.
One of the mom's in one of my mom's groups had an emergency c-section this week, her and baby are doing good. It's amazing that we've made it to viability and to see what my boy looks like at this point.
I've been so wrapped up in baby and the holidays this month. Though, thinking of the future I've tried to start putting together a baby shower. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun! I'm working on a trivia game and some other games we can play over the internet together. I won't have a chance to really think about it or put it together completely until after the holidays.
Tomorrow there are some local festivities going on - Snow on Tarpon Ave. We're looking forward to checking it out. Though I have a feeling that it would be so much more fun with our son on the out side of me, being as most of these things are geared toward kids. Still, it will be a lot of fun being around all the holiday joy!
