Throughout this pregnancy
we've been reading all sorts of handbooks that tell us about what
you're up to. That's important, since though you're most definitely
there (we've agreed on that fact numerous times already, but somehow
I find it reassuring to remind myself of it) we can't see you, and
thus have to rely on outside sources in order to know just what's
going on.
One of the books tells
us that by this week you're "probably aware of - and may be
startled by - sounds outside" of your mother's body. So this
week we took you to the opera. To tell the truth, it was your mother
and me that went, but you have little choice in the matter and go
wherever she goes. We saw Mozart's The Magic Flute, and if
the books are right, you heard the music. For us it was lovely and
we hope that you enjoyed it too - and weren't too startled by it.
