Hey, is anyone gonna be in/near/in flying distance of L.A. on the 24th of June? Mom and Sam and such are throwing the Nessie a baby shower! Come one, come all! Coed! Games! Free beer!

The Nessie is 25 weeks along today. Here's what my Babycenter email has to say:
" Your baby is responsive to touch now. You can have fun with him by trying to tickle his foot when he kicks you or by lying on your back and rolling from side to side, to see how he reacts. His eyelids open around now and his heart is beating so strongly, it may be heard with a stethoscope...The baby now weighs nearly 1.5 pounds / 660 grams and is approximately 13.5 inches/ 35 centimetres long from crown to heel. He makes breathing movements..."

Cool, huh? We find out in just a couple of weeks if we're having a girl or boy (my gut says boy, but my family says girl, and I would be so pumped either way!), and then the naming party can begin!

Alright, alright, I'll go back to studying now.
