Unless things go longer than expected, we’ve got one month left before The Arrival.

Thankfully, there’s only one more baby class to go to – labor support!

We went to The Prenatal Picture this weekend partly to get some new pictures but primarily to confirm that the little monkey growing inside Kandace’s womb was indeed a female. Well, bring on the pink blankets, we’ve got confirmation. We’ve also got a truck load of new pictures.

The Prenatal Picture was a fairly amusing experience – the ultrasound room is dimly lit, with light music in the background, and the ultrasound is projected onto the wall so that friends and/or family can watch while being seated comfortably in the living room area set in front of the projection screen.

eep.

Apparently my wife has a different spelling than this and I’ve lost the spelling battle.

Today we had the Week 18 checkup and lo and behold it’s a girl, despite pretty much everyone’s prediction that it would be a boy. Here’s the latest set of pictures, including a “3D” view which makes my future daughter look like an amorphous blob and/or an alien. Regardless, enjoy the pics!

I just returned from the birth of a new life, that being the son of my cousin, Missy. Jaden was 7lbs, 4oz and born at 5:35PM EST. Apparently the labor process started at 2am and involved all sorts of shenanigans including a umbilical cord choking (everything turned out ok) and an accidental epidural self overdose. A lot of the family got together and we polished off a bottle of Booker’s bourbon in the waiting area. Mom looked exhausted, dad looked ecstatic, and baby looked healthy.

We’ve got 2 more babies on the way – my cousin Brad’s wife and my own wife are both due in the first half of June. It’s going to be a interesting 5 months.

New pictures of the parasite baby are up.
