:) Tuesday's "Daily Delivery":

WEEK 28: DREAM, DREAM, DREAM
Are you dreaming about your baby? Your baby may be dreaming about you, too. Brain wave activity measured in a developing fetus shows different sleep cycles, including the rapid eye movement phase, the stage when dreaming occurs.

By now, your baby, who weighs in at about two and a half pounds and stands — or rather lies — at almost 16 inches (measured head to toe) has added blinking to his or her growing bag of tricks. (Outside in the real world, blinking is necessary to help keep foreign objects out of the eyes.) Other impressive new talents being added to your baby's roster include coughing, more intense sucking, and, perhaps most important, better breathing.

The good news is that babies born this week, though premature, have an excellent prognosis because their lungs have reached the point (for the most part) of maturity — so you too can breathe a little easier now. Of course, it's still best if a baby doesn't check out of that uterine hotel just yet — there's still a lot of growing and maturing to do over the next 12 weeks.

Yo-Yo Ma is performing at the Opening Night Concert & Gala at Benaroyal Hall on 15 September (Baby shower Day)... and all they have left are the full Gala tickets for $450!!!

Pardon me while I burst into uncontrollable fits of tears. I wish I would have found this while concert only tickets were still available!

I went to look in the first place because I heard adverts on the radio for the Seattle Symphony performing Carmina Burana which I would have loved to have seen. Unfortunately it only ran from the 12th to the 14th... we just missed it! *SOB*

However... there is a shining ray of hope: George Winston, pianist I so enjoy, is playing on 28 September and Orchestra seating is still available for a very attainable $30! *JOY!* I'm trying to see if some of the cultured ladies whom I see to rarely would like to accompany me before tickets are gone. I hope so! If I must, I'll go alone, but I would really like for them to come with me.

And one last thing to cry over... The Cure are playing the day before we're due... to go or not to go?

The Cure are playing at Key Arena (which has chairs) the day before the baby is due. I really really want to go. I would so love to see the Cure! My midwife always says that first babies are 8 days late, statistically speaking- and her receptionist said she thought that was awesome when I said I was thinking about going. I have known about this since last week and it's really driving me crazy. Should I go? Even if I went into labour during the concert, wouldn't be some sort of wonderful sign from the gods? The Baby does love to wiggle to music. And how horrible would it be to sit at home knowing that I'm missing it... only to find the baby really does come a week later? I have been saying that, boy or girl, I would dress it up for Halloween as Robert Smith next year (this year may be pushing it). I got a little velvet jacket for it and everything! (I'm a loving Mum, can you tell?)

And besides, if the baby comes before that... well I'll just sell or gift my tickets and it won't be an issue... unless the baby goes to the Cure concert anyway... hmm.... getting out is good for babies after all...
