Quiet Day

Today was kind of a quiet, lazy day for me. I had a few contractions that weren't too painful. Actually, they were just uncomfortable. I was able to lay down and rest most of the day which is good because I've been feeling really tired lately.

Some things Mike and I discovered today:
Why is it that we talk to babies with 'ga-ga' high pitched voices instead of using complete sentences and correct grammar and in a more normal tone? Wouldn't it help the baby to learn a little quicker?

One of the names Mike and I have thought about naming our baby is Macy. However, we just figured out that people will probably call her Mace. Is that a bad thing?

For my entire pregnancy I've been telling people that my due date is May 18th. Today, I just realized that I now tell people that I'm due next Friday. Whoa.

There is a really loud and scary storm outside (I love Texas storms). Something just made the house alarm go off. It scared me. Mike's making me wrap this up so I can go to bed....so that I won't get too scared and go into labor.

    People use the gaga voice because babies respond to it more than a normal voice and that is because little babies hear better on a higher pitched frequency. As they get older they will respond to lower pitch.
