Drum Roll Please.......

After tallying the votes it is time to share the news!!! We have decided to have a baby boy to please the voters! He is growing quickly and is already becoming like his daddy with long thin legs. He has also started a new trick of sucking his thumb which is really cute. Our baby boy has ten toes, ten fingers, a healthy heart and was more than happy to expose the family jewels to the world. The doctor said he was 100% ceretain that we are having a boy but I can't say I won't feel better after my next appointment in two weeks when I will be 17 1/2 weeks along and he is still a he! Thanks for all the voters! You will get a chance to see us when we come to Houston October 18th-19th.

Rockin' the Vote (and the Cradle)

Ok. So good news... Sheri and I received a '100% confirmation' on the preverbial 'boy/girl' question at today's hi-resolution ultrasound, which also confirmed that young baby P is developing normally and mommy & child are in good shape.

Bad news... only 6 people have voted on our local GENDER poll (right hand column of the blog). I'm going to set an aggressive goal to double the participation in the poll before we release the actual results. That means that atleast 6 people will have to enter their guess before we open the envelope; I pause here to mention that I don't think the poll keeps track of people voting twice unless they are logged in - although Sheri and I have already voted and do not intend to vote twice now that we know the answer.

If you're going to vote once this year, let it be for baby P's gender!

Baby Phillips 12 1/2 weeks!!!

Unfortunately since the doctor was so focused on the Nuchal Translucency we weren't able to get a full photo! I can tell you that Baby P is now 2 1/2 inches long and is extremely feisty. The baby definitely does not like when any pressure is on my stomach, especially from the doctor, responding with lots of punching and kicking! Baby P is right on schedule and is doing great. In about 3 weeks we are going to the radiologist for a clearer ultra sound where the sex may be determined. Note the poll in the right margin where you too can randomly guess the sex of our new addition. We will keep you posted!!!
