28+ weeks (aka 7 months)
"By this week, your baby weighs nearly 2.3 pounds/ a little over 1 kilograms and may measure 14.8 inches/ 38 centimetres from top to toe. At about this time, your baby can open his eyes and turn his head in utero if he notices a continuous, bright light shining from the outside. His fat layers are forming and his fingernails appear."

In other news, we took possession of the house today. WE OWN A HOUSE! AHHH.
And, Ian set me up on WordPress, so this blog is moving. The new one is not totally finished "design-wise" but everything else is good to go.

Yay, Canada!
In less than 2 days, if all goes well, Ian and I will be the proud owners of a house! It is scary and exciting all at the same time! Our meeting with the notary is pretty early on Thursday, and after that, well, home sweet home it is...ok, work first, then home sweet home.
We aren't going to move in right away, as there is some painting and other minor work that needs to get done, but we should be in the house by the end of the month. I am surprisingly pumped about doing the baby's room. I guess it must be the "nesting" instinct kicking in, but I am looking forward to designing it and putting the design into action.
We have some original artwork from an illustrator who did the art for one of the kids books I worked on back at Lobster Press. I think it'll be fun to work that into the baby room design.
Otherwise, we have to figure out where the rest of our art is going to go. And all the books. We've been tossing around the idea of custom bookshelves in the living/dining area. Alternately, we might just fill up one of the rooms with books -- like a library.
Canada Day used to be one of my favourite days of the year. In Mo West, there's a parade and a party at one of the local parks. It was always a ton of fun, that ended with fireworks over the pool. When you were "cool" enough to be a lifeguard, you got to watch the fireworks from the pool deck (and of course risk having shards of fireworks fall on you).
It's just not the same when you don't live in a small community like Mo West.
