Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk

This one's for my dad.



Isn't it great to know that our child will only know about this buffoon from the innumerable internet jokes about him? Laugh or you will cry.

Live from the Womb

Corey just wrote to ask if we were planning on having a live ultrasound webcam feature added to our website. Well it looks like such a thing may be possible. Everything USB is offering a new USB Ultrasound Probe that can take you inside the womb from the comfort of your own home, regardless of what state you live in. However, it's their description that really makes the sale:

If you ever wanted to be just like Tom Cruise and have your own ultrasound machine just perfect for looking at your unborn, possibly alien, baby you are in luck. Soon you may not have to drop $40,000 to indulge your insanity love for your child, you can just buy your own USB powered ultrasound probe.

Unfortunately, the device is still awaiting FDA approval and -- at the low, low price of $3,700 -- it's a little out of our price range at the moment (but it would sure make a great stocking stuffer). Personally, I'd be a little surprised if the FDA went for it. Wouldn't there be just a little concern about sending high frequency sound waves careening through the fragile brain of your developing infant every time aunt Martha in Wichita wanted to see them kick? Not a great idea.

Instead, pretend that this is our live streaming ultrasound. I keep telling Erin that drinking coffee right now is a bad idea, but what are you going to do?

What a picture is worth

nugget 1

I am sitting here staring at this photograph and I can hardly believe that what is pictured in it is actually inside of me. While it has made its presence known in some (sometimes inconvenient) ways, for the most part it just does not seem like it is there. I cannot feel it moving. I am not quite showing. My fatigue symptoms disappeared a week ago (I only experienced about 5 weeks of that, thank goodness – it was rough).

As far as an update, the nugget moves, grows, and has a heartbeat that apparently is quite normal. Based on the ultrasound, as of Friday 12/12 the ultrasound tech determined our little nugget was 2 inches long and that we were 12 weeks instead of the 11 weeks 5 days previously estimated (creepy...12 on 12/12...) I think this makes the due date June 26 instead of June 28.

Our next appointment with our nurse midwife is January 5th. We probably won’t have another ultrasound until February (at 20 weeks).

And now...to celebrate our love...
