Out of the mouths etc 3

My midwife called during a class with the kids. The kids then wanted to know what a midwife was.
Girl: So you go to a hospital and the midwife helps you?
Me: Babies don't have to be born in hospitals of course.
Boy: Of course not. Babies can be born any-where. Babies can be born in caves. (Thinks about it) But then he'd have people pointing at him saying 'haha, you were born in a cave".

I don't know. I think it would be kind of cool to be born in a cave...

32 weeks

Only 8 weeks to go, assuming I have a 40 week pregnancy.
Apparently little Trogdor experiences REM sleep which means he might be dreaming. What does an unborn baby dream about? Fluid and distant sounds? Slight changes in the light? Does my heartbeat feature in his dreams? How could he even know the difference between awake and asleep?

How it's going...

Dates and numbers:
There are 59 days until your guess date.
You are 221 days pregnant.
You are 7.2 months pregnant.
You are in your 8th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: December 15, 2007 to March 14, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: March 15, 2008 to June 27, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: June 28, 2008 to some time in September. (28 - 40 weeks)

I have fiddled with some of the dates of course. I do have a slightly more 'accurate' EDD but apparently only 5% of babies turn up on the 'right' day so how accurate is that really?

I just want a happy, healthy plumber.

Since I last posted we have finally moved! I write this from our new living room surrounded by all the detritus we thought it was a good idea to pack. (Why, why do I need a purple bag full of tennis balls that don't bounce? Obviously at some stage I thought I needed them so I can't possibly throw them out...)
We are coming to terms with all the hidden responsibilities (and costs) of home ownership. I'm so used to ringing the agent to tell them what's broken, faulty or defective and then waiting months for something (or nothing) to be done. Now we can get whatever we want done very quickly but wow... it's not cheap.
Forget being a doctor or a lawyer I'm hoping Trogdor will feel drawn to plumbing. Possibly a locksmith...
