She keeps growing and growing and growing.

Many have asked us to place photo's of the ongoing baby rising from my wife's belly.  Well here comes a photo log of just what's going on in the stomach of Ericka.

We started with good news and pictures.

Then we finally started to see a little work going on down in that area.

By this time Ericka was less than pleased to have a belly photo taken.

But time marches on and the paparazzi demand more pictures.

Then for some reason (I don't know why) she wanted the face removed to conceal the evidence.  That tatoo is starting to seem like a not so great idea.

Which brings us up to date with this fine shot.

Now we are getting there.  Hard to believe it has been 5 months already.

Vacation!!!!!

We headed out one last time to Disney as a couple.  Next time there will be screaming, diapers, yelling, poo, visits with mickey, crying I think you get the point.  

We decided to take one last great trip with adult rides and adult restaurants before the stork arrives. We stopped in Savannah along the way.  Pictures after the link.

It's a Girl

Yep it's a girl. Pink. Girl stuff. Eventually Boys will want to date her. I do not know how to describe my first reaction. I think sometimes photos explain things a bit better.

That is how I felt on the inside.

On the outside I thought, wow I am so lucky to have a child. It is just a bit different. It is hard to know what girls like. I know a boy wants trucks, ninjas, and footballs. What do I get a little girl? A pink ninja seems out of the question (plus I can't seem to find one yet). I think this is the part fathers struggle with the most in the beginning. They know what they would want, but not necessarily what their little princess would want. I guess I still have much to learn.

I did get the first gift. I searched through probably 40 of the exact same ones, but I looked for one with a straight bow good ears, and quality stitching. Why did this take so long I have no idea. I am wrapped around this little girls finger and all I have is a sonogram photo.

Every little girl needs a Minnie Mouse. It also rattles. Which I am more than sure I will regret later.

As for the boys dating thing I have many years to purchase guns!

New Sonogram Photos

The Future Power Struggle.

Ericka and I were talking.  We said what will Jazz do now that she is no longer the "Baby" of the house.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!  I am the princess here.

Yep we are concerned that the dog. will not appreciate an inordinate amount of time and energy being expended on the baby.  We know it will be a change for her as well.  We had friends come over and we found out Jazz is great with kids which is a plus.

She did so well we are actually thinking she will be just fine.  As long as we ease her into it and explain why the baby can poo inside and she cannot I think we will be ok.

Until Jan she is still the princess, and will be treated as such.

Or perhaps she is a nun?  We may never know.
