100th Post

This is my 100th post!

That’s all. Yay!

Peanut Butter Addict

I am so addicted to ground nuts.

I LOVE peanut butter. LOVE IT. So much so that I want my epitaph to read: “I’m going to miss the taste of peanut butter.”

This is my current favorite brand: Parkers Farm, All Natural Crunchy, Honey Roasted Peanut Butter. You can buy it at Whole Foods Market (kinda pricey, but worth every penny!). Do yourself a favor – throw away the Jif.

Yorke – Two Weeks

My niece, Yorke. Two Weeks Old.

She fell asleep as Danialle and I were about to put her PJs on.

Went to visit my new niece and nephew last night. A hellacious bout of Flu kept me away from them for a couple of weeks. I Snapped a few photos of them while I was there.

Zebra Man

Yes, I'm a bit eccentric. Ha!

It’s A Girl!

Adelaide - 20 Weeks

Last Thursday, Danialle and I spent 2 hours in an ultrasound suite watching the tech measure every inch of her. Watching the little critter move (she was a mover) caused me to quietly pick up my jaw from the floor. With my inner voice, I repeated reminded myself that this was really happening. That I wasn’t watching moving images of someone else’s child. This is going to be MY child. So surreal.

The tech burned us a DVD of images and a short video clip. Yay!

Danialle and I in an elevator on our way to the doctor

Danialle feels the little critter moving about in the womb.

Great artwork is on display throughout the entire office.

Danialle introduces herself to the ultrasound robot. Almost time!

High frequency waveforms tickle the baby to reveal its shape.

There she is!

In a last attempt to move the baby into a better position for viewing its heart.

Quick portrait of us during a 5 minute break - waiting for the sugar to kick in.

Reflecting on the amazing news given to us. Awaiting to see the doctor.

Glucose!

Back in the elevater, heading home. What a day. We're having a daughter!
