Newest Addition to Our Blogging Team

Yes, our lives are about to change a bit. A little BABY bit. Come September, there will be a little screaming and pooping bundle of joy in our lives. Yes, we are very excited. The doctor tells us that at this point, everything looks excellent. After years of looking at poorly behaved children and turning to each other and saying, "Our kids will never get away with that," we will finally have the opportunity to be proven wrong.

Wife is currently suffering from "morning sickness." I've realized that the name is extremely misleading since she is nauseous and sick in the morning, afternoon, evening and especially at night.

We don't want to get to far ahead of ourselves, but I have already begun researching Greek and Hebrew curriculum for infants. Wife is preparing to teach the poor kid French, voice, and piano. Is two weeks about the right age to start preparing for the SAT Exam? Hey, at least we don't have the kid signed up for preschool yet. Shockingly, many of the people we work with get their kids on the waiting lists of exclusive preschools just hours after learning of the pregnancy. But who wants to spend $35,000 a year on preschool?

The first thing I purchased for the pregnancy was a Countdown to Birth Calendar. Every morning before work we read together the newest tidbit about little Baby A (yeah, keeping with our creative style, Wife and I have code named the little person "Baby A"). Here are a few tidbits:

* Little bumps that will become Baby A's lungs are beginning to appear.

* Baby A is growing at approximately 1 millimeter each day.

* Baby A's tongue is now formed (ready to join wife in licking an ice cream cone in the years to come)

* Each of Baby A's arms are small, but the elbows should have just begun forming.

I anticipate that the blog will begin to be updated very frequently with updates. I'm currently beating Wife in this blogging competition approximately 200 to 6. Maybe she can catch up with frequent updates on the anticipated development of Baby A.
