4 Month Bump

Here are some legitimate pictures of my expanding belly, taken on 5/18, at about 4 months. When I say "legitimate," I mean "Part baby / part giant grilled cheese sandwich, french fries, fried green tomatoes and s'mores from last night's dinner."

Zeus, let me tell you about the birds and the bees.

Baby = friend.

Grilled cheese baby!

The Big Reveal

We went for another sonogram this week where we learned the gender of our little potato chip. Taken on 5/27/11 at 18 weeks 4 days. Baby is growing ahead of schedule! Already an overachiever...

Can you guess the body part?

All the better to kick you with, Mommy!

We thought we'd save the baby some embarrassment from posting pictures of the private bits on the internet, so this sonogram should give you a pretty clear indication of the baby's sex:

Think the pink bow gives it away?

Batten down the hatches...we're having a GIRL.

Quite a Greeting

One day I was driving home from work and saw Craig and Zeus going for a walk. This is the way Zeus says hello when he sees you drive by:

Daddy, look! It's Mommy. Did you know she was coming home???

Home Improvement

The next time you visit, you may notice some changes around the house.

For instance, we added a pantry to the kitchen:

Room for adult food, baby food, and dog food.

We also landscaped the front yard so it matches the back:

We no longer embarrass our neighbors!

I Heart U

At my last prenatal appointment, I used my digital voice recorder to record the baby's heartbeat. Unfortunately, you can'y post sound files on Blogger, so I turned it into a "video." There's no picture, but press play and you can hear what 150 bpm sounds like in utero.

First "Bump" Pictures

Last weekend Craig and I went to a wedding in La Jolla. Here's proof:

Do these two look fit to raise a child?

Can't tell too much from the side.

 

A little more obvious from the front.

Our Fur Baby

Zeus will always be our first love. Here he is enjoying the spring wildflowers during a short hike around Morley Field.
