Cookie is 15.5 weeks today, and sends a hello! She (he?) is being a very good baby and I feel the best I've felt since before I got pregnant. I think JBB is happy to have his wife back, and to hand over some of the dinner and household chores. (Laundry is still all his, by the way.) We are slowly plodding through our to-do list - we've both gotten our flu shots, we have a car seat and base, crib, bassinet, stroller, baby bath tub and awesome diaper bag! (Thanks Whale of a Sale and assorted family and friends!) Next up: finding a pediatrician and signing up for baby classes.
Before I share some HILARIOUS pictures of Cookie's parent's misspent and fashion challenged youths, a note from JBB:
Unexpected
items for the expectant Father while expecting:
Yesterday
Bertie aka Po aka Lindsay and I had our third doctor’s appointment.
Everything went very smoothly and Cookie is still baking away. Still a little
doughy, just needs a few more months in the oven. While waiting in the room for
the doctor to come in, I decided to take a look around the little room and I
found the cheat sheet wheel-thing they use to determine important dates during
the pregnancy. So using my great doctor skills I've learned from watching House,
MASH, and the Doctor Oz Show, I have unequivocally, without a doubt, estimated
the size of Cookie right now. Cookie is now 60lb and 12 inches long!!
Granted a little bigger than we were hoping and appears to be a little short,
but I’m confident that I can work a circle cheat sheet wheel-thing and I stand
by my results. Bertie has zero trepidation of birthing a person the size
of a loaf of bread made of lead. What a person!! That is why I love her. jbb
Digging into the photo vaults:
If Cookie is a boy, I hope he gets his daddy's good looks:
 |
| How could anyone have ever gotten mad at that sweet face?? |
And if Cookie is a girl, maybe she'll look like her mama:
 |
| Hey everybody! What's up? |
Either way, I hope he or she has better vision than the parents:
 |
| Attack of the face-eating glasses!! |
 |
| Self-tinting? Nope - just bitchin' glasses... |
And, here's hoping our kid has better fashion sense than we did:
 |
| Check out that mullet! (Bonus points for matching senior prom date Missy Owen's outfit). |
 |
| Side ponies never go out of style! |
Cookie, we can't wait to meet you...finish up baking in there and we'll be ready!
