Inside of Daddy P

So, as long as we are looking at my insides, I figure, let's look at Daddy P's insides, too.



So, you see those little bones in the wrist? Well, those two bones stacked on each other on the right side...? They're supposed to be ONE bone. Yep! Daddy P broke his wrist! He is in a temporary cast after 3 hours in the ER Friday night after landing on his wrist when pretending to be super volleyball man. Tomorrow he goes to a hand surgeon who specializes since this apparently, is a very tricky and special break. Leave it to Daddy P to be special!

Luckily, he will get the cast off just in time to hold his little baby girl. Granted, he'll miss out on, oh, three months of cleaning, and packing, and unpacking, but he will be ready to change poopy diapers.

So please send your condolences his way. He is rather upset about the whole thing and is having a rough time adjusting to being a one-armed man...

Top Secret

Sorry folks... we're keeping this little girl's name close to our chest. I don't want to let it loose and then hear about the bratty girl in 3rd grade who pulled your hair who had this name, or the girlfriend of your brother who stalked him for two months and stole his clothes who had this name... so unless you can trick us, or until Daddy P slips up... this one's a secret.

Hey, be happy. You know she's a girl!

It's a...

We had our second ultrasound yesterday, and this one is the one that counts... Ladies and gentlemen say hello to our little girl!


She was certainly putting on quite a show for us yesterday. We saw her sucking her thumb (her little jaw moving even!) and yawning. And she gave a warning out to all the boys... (I'm looking at you Aiden...) This little girl is no floozy. She crossed her little legs as soon as we started peeking inside. (Her knees are to the left and her body is off-picture, her little feet are on the far right.)

If this baby's a dancer, is it a b-boy or b-girl?

Daddy P's right. This baby is getting its groove on! But I don't know about those descriptions. Everything says it feels like "fluttering" or "popcorn"... This baby doesn't feel like that at all. Well, I think I probably missed the fluttering and mistook it for other bodily sensations. Now the baby feels more like muscle twinges if you ask me, and poking. I guess there is the occasional pop-ish feeling, but it's more like what it would feel like if you were water and had a bubble rise to the surface and pop in you. Not that I know what water would feel like if it were a being with powers of perception, but that is what I would imagine it to feel like.

But, yes, the baby likes SYTYCD. Doesn't everyone? And, this Friday is the big reveal...! Will this baby be a b-boy or a b-girl? Or maybe just a gender neutral popper or krumper. We'll see... To better understand our future child, tune into the next "So You Think You Can Dance?!"

The baby is moving!

We were watching Mamacita's favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance, on Wednesday, and Mamacita jumps a little and says, "the baby just moved." This was the first time that she has felt the baby without any doubts. If you've ever watched SYTYCD with Mamacita, you know how excited she can get, and I'm guessing that Cletus was feeding on the giddiness. Either that, or we have a little dancer in there. Either way, we are getting more and more frequent fluttering announcements with every day.
