ULTRASOUND Video (What's the sex?)

Click here for a video of the ultrasound! We're not telling you what the sex is--you'll have to watch the video or call us to find out.

Love,

Robert and Heather

Taking Wagers on S-E-X

1:1 Odds on "Boy or Girl"

I'll offer 1:10,000 on "Other" Any takers? Anyway, we'll have an ultrasound on Monday to see what the baby is up to and.... maybe take a peek at the peepee. We'll post whatever we find.

Yesterday we went to another OB/GYN appointment. The nurse detected a loud, rhythmic beating from the baby. A heart beat, or was the baby playin' a little b-ball? Hmmm...

Heather says she doesn't get it. Baby's can't play basketball. That's why it's funny.

Also, she points out that I misspelled "babies." I did that on purpose...

Ultrasound Scheduled

We've scheduled an ultrasound for sometime next week. Photos will be posted as they become available.

Everything About Having Baby (except baby) is Nasty

We saw a new video today about giving birth. There are at least five things that come out during and after birth. Apparently, only one of them is a baby.

Why did I have to wait for the DVD to find this out? This news comes only two weeks after finding out that the baby's first poo will be black and tar-like. Tar-poo, as I call it, would have warranted a call to the ER had I not been warned.

Family and friends with Children: this is important information that you should share. Women call the women. Men call the men. Tar-poo should not be a surprise to anyone.

At a certain point in the DVD, I started laughing. The list of things that happens to a woman's body during birth is long and frightening ("You can develop varicose veins where?). The furrows in Heather's eyebrows tightened as she watched. She started laughing too as the DVD-doctors delivered the body-altering news with a Katy Couric smile and bounce ("Don't worry, it's totally normal for centipedes and jelly beans to shoot from your nose during birth!").

When we were done watching the DVD, I gave Heather a few affectionate words, and quietly thanked God for making me male.

George, if you're reading, I found you the perfect wedding gift...

Calling All Moms: Side Splits

Did you get side splits? Heather's getting side splits, and not because she's laughing at my jokes. My very clever jokes.

Nothing Going On

Sorry for not posting for a while. We're just sitting around trying to figure out if Heather's feeling kicks or just tummy rumbles. We bought a device to listen to the baby's heartbeat... but nothing yet. Silly thing.
