Happy Thanksgiving. Today we are thankful
for a trouble-free pregnancy so far, knock wood! 37 Weeks!
Holy Cow! Her debut is coming up! So here are some pictures
of the almost complete table/shelf. Just some sanding and some
wood filler and a couple of coats of paint to go... Check out the
routered table top and the mitered trim under the top. |

Lisa at 32 weeks. Today we heard the
baby's heartbeat using the stethoscope. This is the first time we
have been able to hear the heartbeat without the use of the doppler.

Lisa at 23 weeks. The baby is kicking a
good amount and I have felt and seen it many times. It's rather
amazing. Lisa says she sometimes feels the kicking on the inside
as if she was kicking her bladder or internal organs to make room for
herself. |
 |
|
Here are some more friends that are anxiously
awaiting her arrival |

Here is Lisa at 21 Weeks. The baby is
estimated to be one pound now. Lisa is now 99.99% sure it is a
girl thanks to one last ultrasound done by a co-worker. The baby
is also reportedly able to hear now. |

Here is Lisa at 19 weeks. Lisa is also
now feeling the baby move and kick sporadically. She describes it
as a tickling feeling, a goldfish hitting the sides of a plastic bag,
and like a sensation like something is pushing on her from the inside. |

Here is Lisa's 17 week and 1 day tummy picture.
She has grown 1" in diameter at the belly button in one and a half
weeks. Everyone is so excited and can't wait. Lisa is eating
more and sleeping more now too. Growing a baby is taking a lot out
of her. |

Just so you don't think this dad is not doing
anything to prepare for the little one, here is a picture of required
reading. This is a hilarious book of how-to for new fathers.
Here is just one funny excerpt from the book.
"From the moment your partner starts nursing,
her breasts are off limits to you. The property rights have
officially transferred to the baby. At some point you may be
offered a time-share opportunity, but in the meanwhile, just go about
your business and disregard the parade of mammaries flouncing by your
face day and night. And don't even consider the irony that at the
very moment they become forbidden, her breasts are bigger and firmer
than they've ever been before (and will ever be again)." |

Lisa is 14 weeks and 1 day in this picture. Still feeling good.
The picture isn't doing justice. She looks bigger in real life.
Also the tummy is starting to firm up a lot more. |

Definitely starting to show. Lisa developed a big appetite, almost

the left side. |
