Looks as cosy as cosy can be. Kelly said that...

The next installment of pics focusing on the foetus.
Marvel at them, if you will...
(Above) Baby's style is a little cramped...
(Above) Pointing it's feet like a little ballerina. Takes after me then...
(Above) Umm, feet. Don't tell me you can't see them...

Baby's Head Revisited

Yes, it is what you think, Kelly is over 19 weeks so has now had her next scan. I was there for this one and I have to say I was pretty impressed, nothing like seeing your own child's spine light up like a christmas tree.
No. We didn't find out the sex after all, we want it to be a suprise. I look forward to just being a dad.
These are some of the 70 pics we got back. But nothing beats seeing it moving around, which by the way Kelly has been feeling a lot more of.(Above) This is the classic profile. Classy...
(Above) This is the baby doing the "hear no evil" shtick. Or maybe it doesn't want to know the sex either. Bum is to the left. Love that spine.
(Above) This, well this the baby's face. It's doing an Emporer Palpatine empression. For those non-geeks with us(or those who don't watch Star Wars), only it's nose, mouth closed and chin are visible rising out of the amniotic gloom. Don't see it? Try cocking your head to the left. It's waving at you.

Nice to see you, to see you nice

Feel the power, that's the power of love... Dun dun dun Dun dun dun Dun Dun Dun.... Dun Daaa

Hello,

Thought you might like to know that Kelly has officially felt the fluttering of the baby. Which, of course, means that now it's cute, in four months we will see what repeated kicks to the kidneys can do.
Should be eyeing this baby a bit closer soon as it's scan time.
S'funny that the only reason Kelly wants to know the sex is so that she doesn't have to read half a baby name book.
Because of the whole "unknown sex", people are worried that they might get us the wrong colored clothes. Honestly, when the babe has spewed on everything, the fact that they vaguely have head and arm holes is enough. Color co-ordination is just a plus.

Am I starting to show?

I am nearly 18 weeks and now officially moving into Maternity clothes. I am doing well and I am starting to get more excited about our soon to be new lives as parents.

I went to my first hospital check up on Tuesday and got to hear our babies heart beat which was amazing, the Doctor turned up the volume and the heart beat sounded so loud and strong. The midwife also gave me a bag of sample products to take home which included a nappy. I have decided that Evan can practice changing a teddy bear so he will be a pro when the baby comes along. I promise I will post a photo of him when he does.

I can't wait to start decorating the nursery. We have finally found a good builder to fill in the wall for us so we can start sanding the floors and painting the walls. I won't be doing much, I will be the site supervisor. I think we have decided on red and navy blue for the nursey, but I will probably change my mind 100 times leading up to the birth.

Well its time for me to hop into bed, up early for work tomorrow.

Kelly.

The humanity...

Ok

Once upon a time....

On a Monday, Kelly chatted to James (Kelly's boss) about raw vegies and and how good they are for you.
On a Tuesday, Kelly has a craving for Mexican and it's delightful raw mixed vegies and shreddred beef.
On a Wednesday, Kelly remembers that there is a Mexican restaurant in Hervey Bay.
On a Thursday, Kelly decides it would be a great idea for her and I to visit said restaurant on Saturday and tells me so.
On a Friday, Kelly is excited.
On the Saturday, we drive the half hour to Hervey Bay for lunch only to find out that Kelly hadn't checked the opening time of the restauant, from 5:30 to late.
We go to McDonalds.
There is the story of the craving.
Even as I type this, Kelly has looked over my shoulder and exclaimed that Mexican would be really nice tonight. At least I know when they open.
As you might have guessed, Kel's feeling marginally better, has successfully not regurgitated for three days and started eating foods other than arrowroots, snakes, tangy herb crisps and choc paddlepops.

At the moment we're looking after Kel's parent's home, with it's two more dogs (we have two) and two cats. Even with these extra furry animals around, I find myself defluffing Kelly's hair more than anything else.
I can't use the hair dryer because the tumbleweeds tend to grow to rather scary proportions.

Kelly's tummy is getting harder as is her choice of clothes.
Kelly is also of the mind that our baby is a boy, but the intuition of my and her family has been sorely damaged since every woman in it, dreamt that Kelly's brother Bobby's baby was a girl. It wasn't. It was a boy.

I just hope it likes music more than sport.
We'll be a trio.
Travel the land.
Come on get happy.

See you in a pear tree.
