Kenny G better watch his back.

I had yet another amazing experience today - Ann's first ultrasound. Even after hearing the heartbeat, there is always that unconscious feeling in your head that there can't really be a baby in there. Well, now we have visual proof - I've annotated the first picture of the baby's face and the second is a profile view of the head and torso.




To answer the first question everyone has been asking us, we still don't know if it is going to be a boy or girl, and we don't want to. Also, we found out today that the first estimate of Ann's due date was a month too late - she's now due on December 1st!

This guy says what we've all been thinking about kids who soup up their Honda Civics. I can't wait for that trend to end.

That thing got a hemi? Thanks, Slate, for answering a question I've always been afraid to ask for fear that it would somehow refect poorly on my manhood.

We pulled out our wallets and made it right.

We heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time on Thursday. It was as amazing as everyone told me it would be! It did sound a little like a dishwasher as Ann said (more of a whoosh-whoosh than a thump-thump), but considering the heart is probably the size of a thumb tack, it makes sense.

Oh yeah, in case anyone reading this doesn't know, we're having a baby! Right now they are telling us January 3, but they could be wrong. We think (and for tax purposes, I hope) that it will be a little earlier.

The best thing about it was that it took my mind off the collapse of the Olde Towne Teame against the Evil Empire. Trade Garciapopup!
