I've been getting emails everyday of my pregnancy from Whattoexpect.com . Often there are little tidbits about fetal development that catch me by surprise... like, yesterday i got this email that said that newborn babies can't really produce tears! Their tear ducts are too tiny!! I never knew that!! The true waterworks don't start till they're about a month old... not that there will be any mistaking his cries... but... why? It's so interesting to me. Like, maybe God just wanted to spare their little cheeks from the extra exposure to salt or something...
Not only does it boggle my mind, but it reminds me anew how much remains a mystery-- how much we have yet to learn about life, and our baby's in particular!
Sleeping a lot the past couple of days-- and apparently really needing to. I am continually exhausted... and i'm not even doing anything. All that energy I had the past few weeks is totally wiped out of my system. I am trying to relax and enjoy it all. Especially the uninterruptedness of it!! And I either sleep so soundly that i don't feel Bruno's kicks, or he is sleeping right along with me. It's like he knows as soon as i'm awake; he starts moving around. I'm hoping that's a courtesy he'll continue till he's 18. What? A mother can dream...
We already know who will have cried the most tears by the end of the May--
