Petite Filet+T-bone Baby 2.0 was ready for his or her closeup yesterday. It's amazing how just about everything needed to make a little person is all there at nearly 10 weeks. There's a brain, nubby limbs, internal organs and a strong, thumping heartbeat. All the pieces just need to develop and get much bigger. Despite not having ears, the baby has already developed a love of music. See for yourself ...

We won't know whether he's a he or she's a she for several more weeks, and we don't care either way. Because the PF has been sick as a dog her doctor said it's probably a girl. But because "its" heartbeat matches the Cutlet's at the same stage, it could be a boy. Whatever! We're just glad there's only one (Two would have been a blessing, as in I'd be blessed to take on two extra jobs to support us all).
I also pedaled in Fort Worth's Ride of Silence, twice around the roads surrounding Texas Motor Speedway for a total of 10 miles. See a story in the Fort Worth paper here. I'm not pictured in the photo, but if you look at the far left and see the guy in the white shirt, there's a lady to his right you can't see and I'm riding behind her. The annual event, conducted in cities across the country, is designed to draw awareness to the fact that bicyclists also belong on the roads. It also honored those killed or injured by cars while riding. Thankfully none of that happened to any of us last night. My only pain was booty-bound. Time to get some bike shorts, I guess.

Wow, that iPod must be the tiniest one ever! I don't even want to think about how it got in there ;)
I've heard the thing about lots of morning sickness meaning it's a girl, and it seems to be at least anecdotally true among people I know.
Now all he/she needs is a cellphone....
:)
No news is good news on the house I suppose- I am still waiting on a closing date, but the offer was accepted on both sides, so that's a plus!
great photo, love the ipod on the ultrasound! Glad that all is going well. Hope your wife gets to feeling better as the first trimester comes to an end. At least it's all for a good cause. ;)
Oh, what a cutie!
I am speechless......awwwww! Congratualtions T-bone!
And if you listen verrry carefully, you can just hear the strains of "Dancing in the Dark"....Congrats!
Hey! There's a real baby in there! BAAAAABY! *fertility coma*
Great pre-birth shot.
Are you going to find out early if he's a he, or if she's a she? Or will you wait till he or she is born?
Hahahaha, that must be some iPod, loaded with 9 months worth of music to keep the little filet entertained!
Hope the weather held out for your weekend, T.
Just noticed the questions below your post. My dad always says this: As soon as shower facilities and electrical hookups are put into a campground, it's no longer a fishing/hunting campground. All modern accessories are off his manly-man list. It defeats the purpose the camp was created for. Electrical hookups mean RV's, tv's, electricity generators (LOUD!) and entire pods of family stay up all night, while one hapless member of their family is the one actually doing the fishing.
Actually, I kind of agree with him for most of it. We'd have to get up at 4:00 am for the "first bite" of the day. There'd always be some drunken party yahoo'ing til 3:00 am. Voices echo.
As for sex in a tent, I have 2 stories to share. One was my best friend and her boyfriend. They were not exactly quiet. When they stepped out of their tent afterwards, the other campers started clapping and cheering. They pulled up stakes and left.
My dad always says make sure you keep a flashlight on as little as possible. Red or blue lens if you have to. It seems he and his buddies were next camp over from a pair of newlyweds. Let's just say the outline of their bodies with a flashlight on? Left nothing to the imagination of those who pulled their chairs around to face their tent. It was several nights before someone bothered to mention it to them. They left that day.
