27 Weeks Old


   
I dropped my daughter on her head about 3 times today!  Ok, not really 'dropped'.  More like she was sitting there and fell back, bonking her head on the floor.  But it was one of those slow-motion moments where I saw her start to go over and I began reaching out for her knowing I would not make it in time.  Then the distance between us actually increased as I lunged for her.  No really,  I think the space-time continuum actually tore apart increasing the distance between us just so the universe can make me feel like more of an ass.  
   On top of this, I may have pinched her stomach as I was trying to belt her into the high chair.  I was having a serious Monday and I’m glad it’s almost over.
   But check out what 27 weeks looks like!

    As a complete stranger, I feel qualified to say "How cute!!" (Parents are biased)

    My husband sent me a link to your blog back when I was still just freshly pregnant and your family was nearing Von Bebe's birth. He found it interesting you were actually doing a home birth and became much more willing for us to do it, too.

    While we didn't get to do the home birth and ended up going as medical as possible (I had a complete placenta previa and we had to deliver our boy three months early via c-section), it has been fun to see what our baby may be doing in a few months and especially comforting to us to see how he seems to be following her footsteps rather nicely. His corrected age is 4 weeks now (even though his birth age is 17 weeks) and he's finally acting like a baby!

    So, probably more information than you want from a stranger, but I wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying your posts and especially the videos! I learn a lot and get a good dose of cute baby! :D

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the message, C. Sorry things didn't turn out as you were hoping with a home birth, but glad to hear you have a happy baby boy. And I can tell just from your message that he is just as lucky to have you as you are to have him. Thank goodness we have hospitals for situations such as these.
    If I didn't want complete strangers to read my blog, then I'd be writing a journal, instead. The whole concept of it taking a village to raise a family means something different now than it did 100 years ago. Whole communities are made on the internet, now. It is possible to get support from these communities even if you never meet them face to face.
    Thanks for reading. Thanks for your support.
    Robert
