Week 27 Baby Center update
Check out the Baby center update!
The update says that the baby can now hiccup. Why we hiccup is also mentioned in this book, which caused multiple mind blowing moments of wonder as i read it and compared what's in the book to the sonogram pictures we were taking each week.

Mr. Mom
Chris has been bugging me to write an entry for a few weeks now, so here is my contribution.
Chris and I have a handful of baby books that we have been reading off and on the past few months. However, every time Chris picks one up, he ends up throwing it down in disgust because of the way they talk to and about fathers. A direct quote from Chris, "they all think I'm a monster!"
He can't handle that the books tell the fathers that they need to love their wives and babies even though they might think their wives are gross after birth. And it drives him nuts that they warn the fathers that there will be a decreased amount of attention showered on them after the birth. Chris says that he doesn't think I'm gross and he is OK with less attention and is appalled that all of the baby books assume he is self centered monster.
It all makes me laugh. Here's why:
1. I love that Chris is the way he is. He tells me to embrace being pregnant and it is a no brainer to him that we are both parents to Baby Catalano and that the baby isn't just my responsibility.
2. Chris is a monster. No, not really, but he does need a lot of attention. I'm not worried about him being jealous of the baby or anything like that, but his need for attention will not decrease. I'm pretty sure I'm still going to hear a, "Molly I'm boooorreeed" a few times a week.
3. Who reads a baby book and gets annoyed with it? That is entertainment in itself.
Needless to say, Chris's favorite book is the one that has photos of a naked lady. It says a few disparaging things about fathers but he hasn't gotten to the part with words yet.
