Everyone seems to be gearing up for the baby-shower. I’m sure its going to be rife with “ooohh” and “awww” and “isn’t that
cute”. Typically I’m pretty easygoing about such things, but in this
case, I’m glad it’s a woman-only-affair.
That said, Anita is surprising herself with how into the whole affair she is becoming. Those hormones are potent, it seems.
To all friends who were not invited… guess what… no friends were.
Here are some fun pictures of Anita and Penelope. She’s now 7 months pregnant and starting to get a bit un-comfortably pregnant. Parts of her fall asleep without reasonable cause. Getting up is more of a challenge than it’s ever been before. Penelope is kicking most of the time, sometime flipping around and keeping things interesting… occasionally kicking down – apparently very painful, that.
The “lil’ nug” inside Anita is currently the size of a kidney bean. The organs have all begun developing and the heart is beating strong, at 142 beats/min. Bloodwork and whatnot seem fine. We’ve got very uninformative ultrasound images which I may get scanned and post sometime…
We’re still both pretty attached to the name “Ruby” for a girl. Not sure about a boys name.
After several years of marriage and putting off having kids till we were more financially stable… we are now pregnant. Due in Jan. or Feb. 2008. We have no data, but “think” it’s going to be a girl…
Apparently, a few days ago, anita woke up from an amazingly realistic dream where she was holding “our baby girl”. We didn’t really think she was pregnant but after the dream, she had to take a pregnancy test and it turns out we are.
