Week 33

He’s 33 weeks old, and he’s getting ready to enter the world. We are having a baby!! He’s a cute little guy, always poking, and stretching Silvia’s belly. It’s fun to watch him move and explore his little world. Sometimes the skin between him and your hand is so thin, you feel you’re almost touching him – feeling his little hands, legs, head, and body. It’s an amazing sensation to feel something so small and alive inside, realizing that it’s a human being. Did I mention we are having a baby!!

Monday we setup our baby room, which was another step towards our coming life change. We hung some kids picture art, and moved some furniture around, setup the bassinet, and arranged the swing, clothes, and hamper. It was nice to see the “office” become the “baby’s room”. It seems that the pregnancy consists of various levels of reality, first the pregnancy test, next the doctor’s test, then the growing belly and hospital tour, next the transformation of baby’s room. It seems that each level brings a new depth of “we are having a baby” to reality. We still need to get a crib and dresser, and move the office desk out, before the baby’s room becomes it’s full glory, but even the changes we have done so far, have really helped solidify the coming reality – we are having a baby.
