At 24-odd weeks, a foetus begins to become more aware of its surroundings. We're not talking full conversation or anything - he's in a womb, remember? But we've started a short list of things that shouldn't be rested on the bump or situations that Flaily is not happy with. There have been kicking protests at the following...
A cold glass of water
W: Look, look! I rested it for a sec and he's kicking it away.
Me: Can he feel it?
W: May be...
Me: I'm going to have look this up... I'll ask the Google.
Management meetings
W: Flaily was kicking up a storm today during one my meetings...
Me: Was he objecting to anything in particular?
W: Perhaps just the concept of meetings?
Pillows on W's lefthand side
W: It's got to be the righthand side for him to be happy and for me to get any sleep.
Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows (hardback)
W: This must not be a sign of his future feelings towards the boy wizard.
Me: He'll be OK. We'll read them all to him as bedtime stories.
W: And I really want to buy the Lego!
Me: That castle looks awesome!
The list will get longer no doubt. Watch this space.
Hee! I suppose you should start now with obeying his every whim. Your new overlord will be with you soon.
ReplyDeleteAs for his reaction to the Deathly Hallows, maybe he just doesn't like camping? I have to say, I wouldn't disagree with him...
