9 Months


look, ma, two digits!


Oh boy! We're down to a two-digit countdown now. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!!!!!!

9 months is a long time to wait.

According to Parents.com, a 6-month (24-week) old fetus is able to live outside the womb. That means that if Baby is born now, he will be able to manage with a little help from the doctors. He'll be able to develop quite normally with the help of medication. So technically, 6 months is enough time for babies to stay in a womb.

Doesn't that make you wonder why babies are born only after 9 months? Why not 6?

I think that's just the way God planned it. For Mae and me, 9 months gives us some time to get our act together. 6 months ago, we would have made shitty parents. Now, we've gotten considerable less shitty. In another 3 months, we can almost be certain that in the future, Baby can grow into adulthood without ever needing therapy someday!

And having to go through an emotional rollercoaster for 9 months also helps us to appreciate Baby better. If babies can be made in a day or two, I don't think anyone will care too much for babies.

In fact, we might even eat our kids. Babies are cute and soft and they smell nice. "Yumm, that was good. Let's make another one for dinner next week!" We are Chinese, you know. And the Chinese will eat anything. Hahahhahha!!!

Thank God for 9 months.

    the baby's lungs are last to mature....and that only happens after 36-38 weeks... so no you would not want your baby out before then... even with modern medicine, it can be touch and go!...... you probably know it already anyway!!... yes it can be exciting for a doctor as well.... that is if everything goes according to plan... enjoy her pregnancy.... enjoy the intimacy and quiet time you can still share while the baby is still in there!!!!

    I get what you mean... babies are so cute with their chubby cheeks, pudgy digits and liquid eyes, it's hard to restrain myself from hugging them to death sometimes :lol:
    Will you be posting up pictures of Baby when he's born, james?

    Babies born after six months are premature babies. They may be able to live, but they haven't yet had their internal organs (and the lungs if I'm not mistaken) fully grown. Besides, God has His plans. Nine months is probably the right time for parents-to-be to be fully ready for the baby. :D Yeayyy for James and Mae! The baby will be loved, by everyone of us. Baby will be Baby Of The Year... :D
