The baby grew up so much today.
Tonight I changed him and we had a little face to face giggling time on the changing table. I tried to tickle him a bit and... he laughed :D the cutest laugh :)
He also grabbed a toy and smiled at the sound of the bell inside. :)
I have been seeing lots of people these past few days, speaking lots and lots and in French.. so I wonder if getting some quiet time with me alone, and in English, didn't trigger something in this growing brain.
I get huge smiles all the time.
I am amazed at what a difference a few weeks make!
Today I visited a friend, mother of two little boys and expecting a third one for February. Her little guy is severly delayed, she is almost 6months pregnant and he is about 2lbs.. :( She had all kinds of testing done, and after predicting many malformations they have been ruled out one by one. Only the delay in growth remains.
Tomorrow we are going a couple miles away to pray on Dr Lejeune's tomb. He is the guy who mapped Down Syndrom. It is sad to notice that with the money that is spent testing to detect downsyndrom and "terminating" those babies, there would be such a nice fund for research to make life close to normal for those born with the syndrom... :(
just my evening ramblings.. some cleaning up still waiting for me, social life is fun :) but it doesn't clean the fridge.. ;)
Previously "a frog's life", we now are settled in France, probably for a few more years. We now have two kids and big plans for our little garden. A sort of old fashioned American homestead 20 miles from Paris.

May God bless the little baby that your friend is carrying.
Yay for giggles! :)
Your baby sounds so sweet!! And I hope your friend's baby is fine! Interesting that you'd mention the person who mapped Down Syndrome and how the money spent on testing and terminating could be put to better use! I agree!!! I've met many with DS, and I've never heard their parents say they wish they'd never been born.. it's just the opposite! When I was expecting,I always refused those tests, saying unless something could be found and only fixed in the womb or immediately after birth, then what was the sense in doing it? Of course the response was, no, it's so that you can decide whether or not to continue with the pregnancy. I understand it's difficult to have a child with problems, but when are people going to understand that we are not God? So sorry to go on, I love reading your posts..
