Happy Third Trimester!
Becky's third trimester officially begins today. Yay! According to BabyCenter.com:
By this week, your baby weighs a little over 2 pounds and measures almost 15 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
The "she" is definitely correct, by the way. Becky had her second ultrasound last week while I was in Denver, and it confirmed that little Baby Loy is indeed a girl. Which is good, because otherwise I'm not sure what we'd do with all the cute, pink, frilly clothes that we got at the baby shower. :)
Anyway, preparations for the little tyke's arrival are continuing apace. Over the weekend, Becky set up the Pack 'n Play in what will eventually be the baby's room:
Aww. There's gonna be a baby in there!
Incidentally, I believe Josh will be posting something about a "baby pool" soon, so stay tuned!
When my son was born he was too big for the pack n' play built in diaper changer (10 lbs 10 oz!!!)

How about a pool picking the average amount of sleep per night you get for the first month?

Heh. Only problem is, I'll be too tired to keep track of the actual results. :)

I was just talking to a co-worker today about how the sleep deprivation is something you can't prepare for by other people telling you how bad it is. It's something you just have to experience for yourself.

Oh, it's not like the kid will know the difference.
Er... Yes, it will scar your poor child for life :-)
