Total Lunar Eclipse – Tue 28th Aug 2007
I’ve decided to add Special Events that happen along the way – kind of giving a time capsual feel to my blog. I’m a little out of date with this entry as it happened a week ago – but later on, I’ll sneak move this to the correct date in my blog (and no one will notice).
An eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and the moon in perfect alignment blocking the sun’s light. It is rare because the moon is usually either above or below the plane of the earth’s orbit. The next lunar eclipse will be December 2011.
It was a misty night here so unfortunately not the sharpest of photos. I spent the evening desperately clicking away in-between periods of thick cloud cover.
..and you are 9 weeks 4 days old
While still too small for you to feel, your are wriggling, shifting, and dancing already! Makes you almost wish for a window to peek in whenever you want!
Most joints are formed and you are practicing bending and flexing.
You will curve your fingers around an object placed in the palm of your hand! How amazing! “At only nine weeks, if you happen to have an ultrasound, you may observe your infant fascinated by everything he or she can lay their fingers on (mainly other fingers, toes, ears and nose!”
Fingerprints are already evident in the skin.
You squint, swallow, move your tongue and can make a fist.
