Baby Update
It’s hard to follow up a post like, “we’re having a baby.” It’s like trying to write a song after you won a Grammy, or writing your next novel after the Pulitzer. But, alas, a singer must sing, a writer must write, and a blogger must blog.
We’re sneaking up on 16 weeks and everything is still tip-top. Katie’s nausea has subsided a little, but it still comes and goes. Not too long ago, we wondered, “What will our baby look like?” Today Katie sent me a few candidates.
Editor’s note: if these are your kids, my sincere apologies. We’re not pedophiles, my wife just likes reading random blogs.
A girl? Katie has become convinced we’re having a girl since both our sisters have all boys. She claims that she’s finally coming to terms with dealing with the possibility of having a girl. In all honesty, I think Katie kind of wants a girl, it’s all she talks about. Could this beauty be our child?
I’m certainly grateful for the fact that we’re having a child in the first place, so I don’t want to get too demanding. But, to me, in an ideal world we’d have a son first. I think it really gives me an opportunity to teach him about leadership, taking responsibility for the younger ones, etc. Especially if our son looked like this dapper lad!
Deep, deep down, I kind of think that Katie really wants a panda. Could this be our panda?
There’s really only one way to solve this mystery. Thanks to the wonder of Photoshop, we can actually look into the future. It’s like a visual time machine. I think this is the kid we’re waiting for.
Oh well, can’t win them all.
