We do have some big news, although it is actually less than an inch long right now. We are expecting a baby either the end of May or early June 2008. Thanks to Dana Lee’s comment about being “knocked up” thought we should make it formal. We are only 10 weeks along, so it is still pretty early, but we hope things continue well. I have been much more sick than I was with Colin. I do not throw up, but I think about how maybe throwing up would make me feel better a lot of the time. I feel most sick in the afternoon and evening. Blah, blah, blah. I hope it gets better soon.
Brian has asked me to please gestate the baby for 12 months instead of 9, as he would like a little more time to get ready for the baby. Especially close to 40 weeks, I think I will be ready to have the baby out and not in. This addition to our family did happen a little quicker than we anticipated, but he/she will be a welcome addition.
We have been telling Colin there is a baby in Mommy’s tummy and pointing, but this just makes him point to the baby in his tummy. He loves babies and kids, so we think he will enjoy the future role of big brother.
As for the baby, we are happy that by week 10, the baby’s tail is nearly gone and the little tiny thing look more human than alien. When we were expecting Colin, we read some great info about how if the baby kept growing at the rate it is growing in-utero, the child would be as large as the sun in early childhood. (We need to verify the info, but pretty amazing.) From weeks 10-20, the baby grows from less than an inch to about 8 inches.
So I am feeling somewhat ok about a new baby since we have the Phil and Ted wonder stroller. We currently use the stroller everyday in the single position with Colin, but once the baby comes, the stroller magically transforms into a double stroller. This stroller became my obsession when we were in Israel where everyone in Tel Aviv had very fancy strollers (like $1,000 strollers). Our friend Amberly who also taught us to breathe fire introduced us to the Phil and Ted. I consulted her via email and started watching the stroller on ebay. I made a totally low ball bid one night, and woke up the winner of a new stroller! It really is the best stroller if you are looking for a jogging stroller and plan to have a couple of kids. It is a great stroller even if you do not jog, very maneuverable, folds easily, great design. I really want to work for Phil and Teds.
