In which I may be described as "all baby", but dude, Baby is HUGE!!

Inspired by the beautiful shots of my friend and her pregnant belly done by a professional photographer (lucky), I thought I would share some of my own. She is due only a couple of weeks after me, but she looks a lot tiny-er than I look! Not fair! I hope that you will agree, based on recent posts, that its time for Baby X to burst forth!!(at least that's how I feel!) ps: I would link to the said beautiful belly shots of my friend, but no permission and true identities are revealed at her site, so I must refrain in order to protect, trust me when I say they are very cute though!


In the beginning, there were tiny boobs, a semblance of a waistline, and a poofy butt from poofy butted capri pants (or just a poofy butt)


Now there are bigger boobs, no semblance of a waistline, a bamboon butt from my couch in the background, and a huge load of laundry to be folded. At least Froggy is cute!

Beacuse its so bizarre, of course I have to share!

As I near the end of my pregnancy, I thought I would share with the interweb something truly bizarre. I'm sure every pregnant lady out there has seen this before, but still, you have to admit, its totally weird!!!!! I guess he wants out as much as I want him out! Due date is still set for the 20th. Any bids on size?


(Ummm...I guess its kind of long (17 sec) so you don't have to watch the whole thing...just enough to be weirded out)

Captain Kirk Will Blow Your Mind

With my wife and I are expecting our first baby (boy) on the 20th of March, one of the duties that I have undertaken (since I mocked all the options that were presented to me) was to pick out the outfit that our little Baby X would wear home from the hospital. I didn't want our fantastically cool and suave baby boy to make his maiden voyage in a yellow outfit with sheep or any other normal baby outfit. (Because let's face it, with us as his gene pool he will most likely NOT be a normal baby.) As great and wonderful as those outfits are for everyday life (and please don't get me wrong, we are so thankful that we have them) they just aren't up to snuff for the all important trip home.

So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Instead of searching the internet, or overpriced, chic baby boutiques, for an appropriate outfit I decided that I would make a fittingly awesome onesie for our soon to be awesome baby's trip home. The genesis of the character in the onesie came from Heidi. I was talking to her about the idea of making a onesie for the baby and she very sagaciously recommended Captain Kirk to me. After a half-hour or so of searching I found the following picture and the words came to my mind like a revelation from God. (Though the words aren't nearly as profound as an actual revelation from Father.)



Thank you Captain Kirk for all that you are and for being an inspiration to us all.
