As of just a couple hours ago, we have leave orders in hand and are on the list of passengers wishing to travel, which is as much confirmation as we're going to get until we actually set foot on the airplane in the wee hours of tomorrow morning. We also have a car rented and snacks and 15 board books packed. Don't know how 2 large suitcases and 1 flight bag and 1 carry-on and 1 back-pack and 1 bass and 2.3 adults and 1 child with a carseat are going to all fit into a compact car, but isn't that what vacations are about (well, that, and lost socks and borrowed pillows)? We should be in WNY this time Saturday, if not sooner (not sure when we're landing or how long the drive will end up taking us). Hooray!

...Leavin', on a Jet Plane...
...Don't know how to pack it all in...

...and the verdict is...
Well, aside from one person who had an unfair advantage (tee hee), good guesses everyone. You were all at least 50% correct! It seems that almost everyone was hoping for a girl, but expecting a boy. Mr. waaz and myself really had no clue or expectations, aside from having a short list of girl name possibilities and NOTHING for a boy. uh oh. Mom, how do you think this will look as the beginnings of a "coming home" ensemble?
Surprise, surprise (not really) my due date changed as well. Apparently I am now "due" June 12, exactly a month before Big Brother turns 2. Sorry, Gma/Gpa W, I doubt I'll be able to hold out until your anniversary. The good news is, that makes me 5 months/20 weeks PG already. Woo hoo! No wonder I'm not fitting into those size skinny jeans anymore...
N.B.: for fear of offending the sensibilities of a certain doctor cuz, and because really they just look like black and white and grey fuzz, all ultrasound pics have been left out of this post. We'll bring them along in the suitcase if you really feel like squinting. We promise, however, that it's not worth it. We did get one wonderful "straight up the butt between the legs" shot that offered 99.9% confirmation, but the tech didn't happen to print that lovely angle. I'm sure the new boychild will be forever grateful.

Just Like Daddy...
...Except Daddy actually managed to stay awake (this time).ps: he's grown so much *tear*. I remember when he was just this big (last pic). He doesn't even smell the same! And yes, that may have something to do with the (in)frequency of baths in our house. There, I said it.

Cast Your Vote
so...boy or girl? Original due date (June 19) or something completely different? After an ultrasound to beat all ultrasounds (1:15 long. my neck hurts.), we have a "clear" idea of both. Will show pics after the vote.
OH, and I got a package :) :) :) will show pics of those wonderful goodies as soon as I can find the camera. Thanks, GB!

And now for something completely different:
I miss snow. I was reminded of this fact and my urge was slightly gratified watching the Packers demolish the Seahawks yesterday in Lambeau.
Although, I also realized that I really don't miss shoveling it. 
Does anyone know where you can get a shovel sized for a three year old?

Dr. N says,
"well....I will admit that you seem to be low risk..."
tee hee.
yes, we had our first doc's appt. yesterday. saw the baby (phew, it's not just my tummy doing weird things), and scheduled a "real" u/s next week.. Apparently when you drink some of your h's capo (poor guy ended up working and not going to bed until 24 hours after he'd last woken up), the pear-sized babe will be doing so many somersaults that it's nearly impossible to determine anything conclusive about gestational age, gender, or the number of digits on each appendage aside from the tidbit that there is, in fact, only one baby in there. Which is all D really wanted to know anyway ;-)

newly added to the fit reperitoire:
*throwing oneself for maximum effect with minimal bodily impact (knees, belly, hands, preferably on the grass, but the sidewalk isn't too terrible either)
*a whole new octave on the screech scale
*grass pulling/throwing
*a time record: 30 minutes and counting.
oh boy. Trust me, you do not want an accompanying pic...unless he falls asleep on the tile, which is a distinct possibility. Who knew not letting him walk his OWN SELF across the street and then not carrying him the rest of the way home after the mini fit would lead to this?!
