The baby is coming!

The fact that we are having a baby feels a little more real now that the c-section has been officially scheduled. For any who are interested: our baby boy should be entering this world at noon on Feb 12th. It will be a special Valentine's Day!

There is a reason for the Lollipop

I thought I would add my pictures of Finn to the zillions of blog photos online capturing the cuteness of children dressed up for Halloween. Finn was a skunk. Its the first time I actually sewed a Halloween outfit and I was sure it would be all for nothing because Finn cried everytime he tried it on and it was way too much work for him not to wear it! But we bribed him with a sucker and he magically seemed totally fine with his Halloween costume.
We had a blast this year!

Check the Opinin Section!

Irene has written an article that was put in the Opinion Section of the Fresno Bee that is Pro-Proposition 8. Read Wednesday's Business Section where the Opinion articles are and check it out. Way to go Irene!

"Please vote yes on Prop 8!"

Look at Finn's pleading face at The Wave (waving signs in support of Prop 8 at street intersections) today on Herndon and Willow... which was his first "protest". It was tons of fun being out there this morning. Thanks to everyone who was willing to spend their Monday morning supporting Prop 8.

A Summer Day at the Zoo with Family

A Baby... or an alien?

It is amazing that they can do this kind of stuff now.  Here is a video of our "bun in the oven" sucking his thumb.  They always look like something out of the Aliens movies this early in the pregnancy (19th week), but he's our little alien.  While I was at the perinatologist office, he said "Statistically you can always expect your second child to be bigger than your first."  He couldn't have missed the panic in my eyes.  My response was, "Don't tell that to a woman who has had a 10 lbs. baby."  With an amazing lack of sympathy he told me to expect a BIG baby.  We will see if this one follows in the footsteps of his older brother.

It's a Boy!

We went to the doctor today and, though it is not 100% sure, they seem rather confident that the baby is another boy! And what a relief. I am terrified of having a girl.... I just don't know how I would do raising girl and I have been hoping (not so secretly) that this one would be another boy. And it it looks as if it will be! So I will have to get used to some rough housing and wrestling going on in the future.
