My life is a ZOO


Sometimes I feel like I'm the zoo master and Douglas, Harrison, and yes even Travis sometimes are the crazy jungle animals.  Although, Travis would argue that he's the zoo master and I'm the beast and sometimes he's right. :-)    So my zoo analaogy is right on track b/c around April 5, 2011 we'll be adding another testosterone filled body to our madness.  Yes, this mother bear is 12 weeks pregnant with boy #3!  My doctor sends everyone at 12 weeks to a perinatologist for a higher level sono and blood work to screen for down syndrome and just like with Harrison, they gave me a 95% chance that this is a boy.  Who can argue with 95%?  Although at 12 weeks he's only the size of a a lime, these 3-d pictures show amazing detail.

Here is his little fist blocking his eyes.
This is my favorite picture.  It's like he's facing a pillow, hand on head.  Look at his little bum!  I can't wait to pat that bum.
This is him lying on his back, we're looking at his face, belly, and his shins.
So what do we name boy #3?  I have 2 good family names that I can use for his middle name but I have no idea what his first name will be.  I want to keep it a family name like Douglas and Harrison.  Oh, and I thought it would be fun to see how long I could go without telling people I'm pregnant but my belly is expanding way to fast and I'd rather people know I'm pregnant than just gaining weight. :-)    I hope this little one has Douglas and Harrison's easy temperments!  Can't wait to meet him!
