baby pictures (of me)
9 months old:
10 months old:
Don saw this one after my crying incident when I put the crib together wrong. He got a laugh out of it and said it looked just like me. . . right down to the curled lip! :) :(
Waaaaaaaa!!!!

countdown continues...
I think this is updating on my former post, but I'll probably post the countdown from time to time so it appears on the front page. If you click on it you can see elapsed time and days/months to go...
crib notes
This is the part that I put together, which will later be able to be used for a headboard.
Interestingly enough, when looking for photos online of this crib, I came across a "Jason" crib that looks almost identical (also in espresso by Graco). I'll bet Uncle Jason didn't know there was a crib with his name out there. Also, found a Shannon crib. See below:

"How your baby's growing:Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom . Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid."

Also, I found this photo online of a 1965 LIFE magazine cover which shows a real photo of an 18 week old baby. This gives you an idea of the size/looks of "Gummi" at 18 weeks.
We get to go for our "20 week" ultrasound on the 25th. They'll be able to determine the gender and we're pretty sure we will find out. At first we were thinking of letting it be a surprise, but curiosity has gotten the best of us. :) We'll most likely hold out on telling family what it is until we are home for Christmas.
Can't wait! :)

17 weeks
Your baby is hard at work honing his sucking and swallowing reflexes—all the better for eating that 2 AM (and 5 AM, and 8 AM ...) meal in a few months! The finger- and toenails are beginning to grow from their nail beds, which would explain why he'll need them trimmed almost as soon as he's born! Your baby weighs nearly 5 ounces and is a little over 5 inches long—about the size of a baked potato (load on the butter and sour cream, please).
