"At this stage of the pregnancy, although the eyelids are still fused shut, your baby can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, the baby is likely to move away from the beam."
Holy crap! This is probably a bit of information not meant for parents who are easily amused. Almost immediately, Daddy picked up a maglite and began flashing it at Mommy's midsection, giggling with a purpose. Unfortunately, the baby's movements can't really be felt. Still intrigued, future flashlight tests may be performed where the beams come from opposite angles, at different times, or even stacked side-by-side like a double-decker bus! Should everything go as planned, these exercises will build the baby's agility and reaction time. If not, we'll at least have an explanation for why Baby Campos has a strange fear of 60 watt bulbs and the headlights of on-coming traffic.
