It wasn't only you that
we were thinking of when we decided to get to a dance concert this
week, but the truth is that considering how much you seem to love
dancing around in your mother's womb, it sort of makes sense that
you'd perhaps like to be a dancer. And considering how much we read
that you can't start preparing your kids early enough for their
future professions, perhaps pre-natal isn't too early. Since you
didn't see the performances you'll have to believe us that they
were very virtuosic. Forgive me if I tell you that they made your
performances little more than kids' stuff, though we still appreciate
them greatly.
You didn't see the performances,
but the books tell us that it's at about this time that you're beginning
to be able to distinguish between dark and light, and that's quite
an achievement unto itself.
Before going to the dance
concert, we went to have a look at you. This was the second time
I've had a chance to see you via the ultrasound screen, and it was
as exciting as the last time, though this time you're so big that
your head alone fills up the whole screen and it takes much longer
to see all of you. You'll be pleased to know that you've already
assumed the head-down position, meaning that you're ready and waiting
to make your appearance. I guess that this also means that all of
the thrashing around that your mother is feeling is your arms and
legs while you exercise - you don't seem to be swimming around and
changing positions anymore. Oh, and one other thing, the scan confirmed
that you've only got two arms and two legs, regardless of the impression
that you give.
