I’d like to introduce you to Sophia, future developer and blogger extraordinaire.
She’s only 22 weeks old, but as you can clearly tell from this picture she is very precocious. When I mentioned I was downloading Visual Studio 2008 tonight, she was so excited that she kicked and startled her Mommy. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that my first attempt at installing it failed.
While waiting for Sophia to be born, I’ve taken it upon myself to learn a few interesting facts about pregnancy. Here’s what I’ve gleaned so far:
- Women’s brains actually shrink by 3-5% during pregnancy (it returns to normal size within 6 months after giving birth).
- Women don’t seem to appreciate being reminded about this fact. For example, saying “You probably just said that because your brain is shrinking” is not likely to receive a favorable reaction.
- Despite the extra weight, pregnant women can still move surprisingly fast and punch extremely hard.
Besides getting Sophia’s room ready, my one goal for the next 18 weeks is to teach Sophia how to do the footprint trick. I think it would be great fun at parties. Unfortunately, her mom doesn’t share my enthusiasm for this endeavor.
