PICTURES!!!

Finally...geez, you would think this was hard or something. Turns out I had the correct software all along, just too blind to read the right numbers off the scanner. Sorry!

So here's a little refresher. To the right is Little Baby Acuff at about 7-8 weeks. Tiny little thing...you can barely even make "her" out (I say "her" instead of her because at that time we didn't know. I realize that this is semantics, but I'm writing the blog...you'll have to just deal...okay?).

And know we have Little Baby Acuff at 20 weeks. My how they grow. Soon we'll have to move her into a bigger place (about 5 months from now I'm guessing. And now I can say her because we know. See how this works? Science!).

Heard the heartbeat again. Little Baby Acuff's was racing (about 161 bpm!), but mine skipped. Tammie and I ask ourselves all the time "what were we thinking," but everytime I see these pictures and hear that heart I know why. Everyone deserves to create a little monster...uh, I mean child...of their own.

But for the final coup-de-grace, here is my absolute favorite picture. Pam always said that Tammie used to suck her thumb when she was little. Like mother, like daughter!

There are a couple of other pictures, but one is just a bit creepy (I really, REALLY is...trust me. Those "3D" images aren't always the most flattering) and the other shows "girl" parts. I think I'll keep that one between me and Tammie. A girl has to have some modesty!

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. So far you all have been doing great. Everything is in perfect order, all tests are good, and both mom and daughter are in good health. Thank you, everyone, for your support and well wishes (now if you will just start sending the supply of diapers that will be desperately needed, I would be forever grateful).

Pictures?

I know that I've promised pictures to be up since last week, but I am having a little trouble with the scanner. Drivers got deleted, system can't find the software, etc... I'll try to get things up and running again soon.

To make things easy so that you don't have to randomly check the site for updates (Tyfanny!), scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the link:

Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

This will pull up a separate window and ask you which program you would like to subscribe with. I prefer Google Reader, but My Yahoo! also offers an rss subscription service. By doing this, you will be notified of new posts when they are available, instead of checking the site every day (or hour, or minute...you see where I'm going with this).


Thank you for your patience with me. I know that some of you are waiting for those pictures to be posted (especially the one with Little Baby Acuff sucking HER thumb...that one's my favorite). I'll do everything that I can to get them posted as soon as possible!

And the results are in...

Doesn't it always figure, as soon as you change something, then you have to change it back.

Been to the doctor and the results are...it's a GIRL!

So back to pink. But please don't think that everything that we want, need or desire for Little Baby Acuff should be pink. However, we don't mind (you) splurging.

Oops...my beginner percussion class is staring at me. I guess they want me to teach them something. Go figure! Pictures later...

Avast ye Mateys and Prepare to be Boarded

One day to go. Doctor's appointment is tomorrow morning at around 8:30 am, so we should know (hopefully) before 9:30. It'll take me a little time to get back to school and (after I've disabled the filters) post the results.

Woohoo!

On a more, personal note, tomorrow is extremely exciting twice over. Not only do Tammie and I head to the doctor for an ultra-sound, but tomorrow is International "Talk Like a Pirate" Day. Ah, Avast ye mateys and scrub the main deck! No land lubber speak will be tolerated this fine day.

Have fun with it! (The doctor is probably going to think me a bit strange, but hey, it's an internationally sanctioned day...he'll have to deal)

Seven Days and Counting

When looking at the blog site recently, I realized that I may be offering false hope to those of you wishing for a baby girl. We truly and honestly don't know yet, but are very near the time we'll find out. So to dispel any notion that I may have a preference one way or the other, this site has gotten a little "face-lift."

Until the time that we know for sure, there will be no more pink site or blue site. However, next Wednesday around 11 o'clock, it will be made blindingly obvious whether it's a boy or girl. All you'll have to do is check in and notice the color of the site.

So start the betting wars! I'm giving even odds as to which sex the baby will be (with a small percentage going to the "Little Baby Acuff Needs Food" fund -- and no, I'm not kidding about my cut!).

Well wishes and prayers are still gratefully accepted, as well as any comments, advice and baby-name suggestions (whoa there Billy...remember, the baby's name needs to sound at least a little human). Hope everyone is doing well. Take care and we'll all find out the exciting news next week.
