Baby Plus
Logan had a really good day with Mom at a playground just the day prior.
Today Logan only had a short nap because Rosalie, who watches Logan a
few hours 2-3 times per week, told him he'd see Momma after he wakes up
from his nap, but Logan misunderstood it to mean right then and so he
was upset and wouldn't go down for a nap!
After Dad got home from work, he took Logan on a bike ride right after
Mom's having walked Logan (today he acted up at the playground and had
to be put in time-out twice). Daddy probably should've thought about
this and made the bike ride short, but instead he took Logan across
town, behind Anzac Hill (Australia-New Zealand Army Corps Memorial Hill)
and along a path following the Todd River to the Telegraph Station.
From there, he took the road out of the Telegraph station and the back
way down Smith Street home. Logan enjoyed the lengthy ride for the most
part, but his runny nose and the cold blasts of wind wound him up
several times on the trip, causing him to moan and whine a bit. After
all that, for dinner he ate well, consisting of pasta ravioli type
shells with tomato sauce, a 'meat stick', and peas. Following that,
Logan got in the bathtub and "had" to take his large plastic truck in
with him, leaving little extra room for Mommy to also have a soak. And
speaking of Mommy, her pregnancy is going along just splendidly as she's
feeling very well these days, the headaches and insomnia problems
finally subsiding. From Logan's perspective about the pregnancy, he has
been talking a lot about the baby in Mommy's tummy, especially when he
plays our 'Baby Plus' Baby music that is put around Momma's waist every
morning and night (Logan starts the device for us most mornings and
evenings). For those not in the know, the 'Baby Plus' is a device we
purchased that simulates the beating of a heart. Every 1.5 weeks we go
to the next 'level' in which the beating pattern of the artificial heart
changest. The idea behind it being that the fetus inside Momma
predominantly only hears Mom's heartbeat throughout pregnancy. Studies
have found that using the device to project an extra heartbeat with a
variation of rhythm, pitch, and tempo stimulates the fetus and when
he/she is born, the baby is stronger, more mentally alert, sleeps and
eats better, and is about 15 IQ points smarter. People have been piping
classical music to their fetus' for years for essentially the same
reason(s), so we thought we'd just add this extra little feature as
well. All Daddy can say is that we'll never be able to prove that it
works considering that it won't be difficult to have a higher IQ than
him, but it can't hurt, so why not try it.
