flying under the radar

Sorry for the break in the blogging. We open our outdoor production of Oklahoma! two weeks from tomorrow and I am swamped. I have also been fighting a nasty cold for a week. Our last appointment was last Tues. I tried to post the an audio link of the heartbeat but had some technical problems. Becky and baby are well. I am trying not to spread my funky cold to them.
The blogs will get more frequent after May 4th.

the proud papa

Becky thinks I need to put a picture of myself on the blog. She is right. Here are a few recent pics!

and so it grows

We noticed that Becky's belly was extra round today and decided to take another picture. She knows when she is going to grow because the day or two before she feels the round ligament pains. We have another doctor's appointment tomorrow. I feel very fortunate that I have been able to go to all but one so far.

we call her picky

When we first got Pickles the pet store said she was a male. After some time we noticed that certain parts of "his" anatomy seemed to be missing. We soon realized our dear Mr. Pickles was a Miss Pickles. We now call her Picky for short. She gets a couple alfalfa treats everyday and today we had to open a new package. The makers of the treats apparently changed the recipe because she wanted nothing to do with the new treats as you can see in the video.

kickin and screamin...well at least kickin

Becky has been feeling Baby Bean kick for a few weeks now, but as I have reported he stops every time I get near. My wait is over. I got to feel him kicking today. Really cool!

growing strong

Becky is feeling Baby Bean moving around pretty regularly now. I have yet to be able to feel it though. When the baby is moving around Becky will say, "Come here! Give me your hand." As soon as I place my hand on her belly the little guy stops moving. It has become a little game between the three of us now. I try to sneak up and catch him moving. I know I will have plenty of time to feel him move.

easter 2008

We had some friends over for an Easter potluck on Sunday. My friend Rob, got some good shots of the kids and this one of our growing family.
