17 Weeks

Here's a belly picture for you:




Not sure how this happened (too many Shiner Bocks maybe?), but apparently Jon has already surpassed me:




If you haven't noticed it already, we added a little quiz to the blog (look to your right). Take your best guess on whether we are having a boy or a girl. The winners get...nothing but the satisfaction of being right. But c'mon, you had a 50-50 chance now didn't you?

Ann's Bridal Shower

Sorry I haven't been updating much, everyone. How about a non-baby post for once? I promise to those who have been hounding me that I will take a "belly picture" this weekend and post it soon.

Last weekend I travelled to Denver for Ann's bridal shower. The theme was Chocolate, Wine, and Cheese, ironically suggested by yours truly before I got pregnant. By the time the party was over, I think the theme really was, Wine, Wine, and Wine, but you'll have to ask Ann about that. Oh yeah, ask her about the cake fight too. Lucky for her, we have no photographic evidence of that!
