Several people have asked if I’m keeping the car once baby comes.
Yes. Yes I am.
Nobody believes me, but I will keep it. My will is strong. 
Just look at it. Is that not the most beautiful machine you have ever beheld? And Jenn is fine with keeping it, so what’s the problem?
Okay, I admit the impracticalities of having a car that the child shouldn’t ride in until he or she is 13 years old (at least according to the NHTSA), due to no back seat and no switch to disable the passenger-side air bag. However, the plan is to keep an old car around that has a back seat. And Jennifer’s car will have a back seat, as well.
So, the S2000 may become more of a weekend-only car, but I’m definitely keeping it. Roadsters are in my blood. My dad owned a Fiat 124 Spider when I was growing up that he eventually gave me in college. That car was practically a member of the family, as far as I was concerned. My S2000’s light-blue color is partially an homage to that beloved Fiat. My hope is that Baby will eventually be equally fond of the S2000.
Behold our national championship basketball signed by the starting five (Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, Al Horford, Lee Humphrey, and Taurean Green).
The Triangle Gator Club held a raffle for a football signed by Urban Meyer and a basketball signed by the starting five. Initially Jason and I each bought one ticket for the football and one ticket for the basketball. But, a few weeks later, I decided I wanted to up my chances for the basketball, so we each bought one more ticket for the basketball. My second basketball ticket turned out to be the lucky winner! Go Gators!
Here is a picture of Jenn taken today (December 9, 2007). She is currently between 22 and 23 weeks pregnant.
Jason has asked me to post a message to tell everyone how I am doing these days. While this whole pregnancy thing still seems very strange to me, I have to admit that I am having a relatively easy time. No nausea or morning sickness, no heartburn, no extreme mood swings, no extreme cravings, etc. I do get rather nasty headaches from time to time and I have pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel in my right wrist (I am told these are both a by-product of the hormones). The doctor’s solution? Drink more water! Really — I don’t think this is possible.
For those who are curious about how I look these days, Jason is posting a picture sometime soon. Basically, most of my pants no longer fit and I am starting to show. My friends in NC assure me only those who know me can tell — you be the judge.
That’s all for now — next up is a my 24 week visit and the ever fun glucose tolerance test. Yum.
And here is yet another ultrasound picture.
This one is from November 2, 2007. Jenn was around 17 weeks pregnant at this appointment.
Here is another ultrasound picture.
This one is from September 26, 2007, at our second ultrasound. Jenn was between 11 and 12 weeks pregnant at this appointment. Compared with the image from September 5, 2007, a lot has happened in three weeks.
Check out the Drumroll Please post to see the previous ultrasound.
Jennifer and I are very excited to announce that Jennifer is pregnant and we are expecting our first child in April (around April 10, 2008, to be exact-ish).
The above image is from September 5, 2007, at our first ultrasound. Jenn was between eight and nine weeks pregnant at this appointment. You can see why some parents start calling the baby “peanut” or “jellybean”.
