Our baby’s heartbeat didn’t have that wooshy sound I expected. It was sharp and staccato, sort of like the sound you make when you’re little and you’re imagining that you have a rifle (not pew pew, which is a laser gun, but ptew).

ptew!
ptya!
ptew!

It’s time to start a baby registry, which is a bit mind blowing. Since we haven’t seen an ultrasound, don’t know what sex the baby is and Catie can’t feel it moving yet, filling a registry is shopping for an abstract concept. It’s like buying stuff for Catie’s stomach.

I can actually see her growing now and I get more than a little excited to see her coming home at the end of each day bigger than she was when she left.

I found out today that XtraCycle makes an ATSM compliant child seat to go on the back of their cargo bicycles.

…and starting to show. Well, I can see it at least. She’s pretty much back to her normal energy levels but is attack at least a couple times a day by brutal hungers.

Fuh Real.

Due date December 6th.

Can you believe it? I still can’t quite picture it.

I know it’s going to be an amazing trip though.

Watch this spot for regular updates.
