yo yo yo

there's no baby in this house. but when there is, this will be the place to get the latest if you want it. in the meantime, there'll be some pics and some updates and some observations.

the picture above is the latest (and last) ultrasound. it's like looking at one of those "can you see the image in the dots" paintings, but if you stare long enough, you'll see it's his fist. tayloe thinks he's saying, "power to the people, i'm ready to fight the man." i think he's saying, "screw you two, i was sound asleep."

here's an observation: i'm pretty sure the weekly checkups that i have to go to are not for me or the baby. rather, they're so my doctor can accurately plan his golf game around my delivery. i get very little out of these appointments except the following knowledge: (1) one's blood pressure rises when one takes the stairs and (2) our baby hasn't been born yet.

here's the deal with photos. there'll be some here, but you can always check out our collection at my flickr site. go there now and take a peek at tayloe making a wish on his birthday (there are only 36 candles. he's so old there aren't enough in one box to represent his age. braawhwhwhahahahaha.) yes, that's a pudding cake. yes, i made it.

finally, the birthday guesses as i have them are below. some folks are doubled up, so send on those time estimates as well to me via email. tayloe and cathy cooper lipp are already out. they guessed july 10 and 12 respectively (dreamers). bets are $1 and must be sent to winner upon Master XX Emery's arrival. anyone can chime in, just drop me an email.
