Important Books for Kids

Baby’s going to have to learn to read.  With today’s Internet, the kid will probably know how to send text messages before she knows how to talk.

Possibly with the help of the fine, oh so fine books displayed on this blog.  Lots of crazy examples of kid’s books, from Andy Warhol, to Umberto Eco, to Uncle Drinki, to weird animals, it’s interesting stuff.

We went for the big ultrasound today, survey says:

And this photo proves it, see?

Woohoo!  Soon we’ll have enough Hello Kitty stuff we can roll in it!

The Ultrasound sees all, it knows all…  According to the ultrasound, we’ve got the right number of fingers and toes, everything’s normal and lookin’ good!

Princess Butterfly?

Name suggestions anyone?

Good news today!  We’ve run the kid through a bunch of test to screen for Downs Syndrome and a couple other unfortunate issues, and indications are that chances are only 1 out of 10,000 that the little critter will suffer from them.

Yahoo!

To keep us entertained while we wait for the life of the party to arrive we’re collecting terrible, horrible completely frightening names we would never, ever consider saddling the poor munchkin with.  “A Boy Named Sue”…?  That’s weak tea.  “A Boy Named Princess Butterfly” Sing that one, Mr. Cash!

We’ve been collecting them here.  Some samples:

• Brock Brutal
• Imperial Timelord
• Pernicious Hippywitch

I think you get the idea.  Help us out!  Leave your submissions in the comments thingie below!

Howdy there – new ultrasounds of the munchkin.  The little person was very active this checkup — bouncing all over the place!  Even though s/he’s only a couple inches long Lisa’s pretty sure she can feel this activity sometimes, and it’s no surprise when you see all that jumping around.  So far, all the stats — size, heartbeat — are right on what they expect.  Keep those fingers crossed!

Say "Howdy" Junior!

The ultrasound tech swears this image shows feet

hum de dum, what's for dinner?

Good news — the critter is perfectly healthy and looks great!

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Embryos!  The drugs pumped Lisa’s ovaries up with 27 eggs!  Twelve eggs fertilized.  Five matured far enough to be available on implantation day.  We implanted the three in this photo and froze the remaining two.  As far as we can tell Lisa’s pregnant!
