Dad's Free Trip

Take a look at me now (21 weeks!). I still can't see, I hope someone removes the crazy glue from my eyes soon! Doc Hagarty says she could tell mom and dad if I'm a boy or a girl now, but they keep saying, "Not yet, not yet." I flash them all the time, but they just aren't looking. Doc says I'm 410 grams and 17 cm head to bum (that's 14 oz and 5 inches for those of you born before my pop). Mom's not retching on a daily basis anymore, thank goodness because I can hear now and I really don't need to hear THAT!

Well, it's official, Dad takes after Grandpa Cowan and Great-Grandpa Cowan ... he can't pass up a bargain. Mom got to go to a beautiful resort in Kota Kinabalu for a conference and Dad and I tagged along ... OH NO ... is frugality going to be passed to the next generation too!?!?!?

Can't really blame him though take a look at where he got to hang out while mom dragged me to listen to some edu-babble for three days!

Here's me and mom by the pool on the one day she final took me for a swim.
I just kept poking her until she agreed. It's great working a job from the inside!
Sometime's I wonder if this is all a joke. You can't even see me!!!
Mom's a real looker. I hope I get my looks from her! But I'll still join in on Dad's free trip!

I'm a little bump!

Mom and Dad have been dragging me all over the East Coast asking strange people questions about “getting more space”. Man, I wish I had more space, it feels like the walls are closing in around here. This used to be a swimming little picnic, but lately I’ve been bumping the sides, poking myself and everything except my head seems to be getting bigger. Then ‘round about 9pm (Mom swallowed a watch for me) … Whammo! Shot to the head! Jab in the belly! Or my knee smacks my face! Dad must think I’m made of Silly Putty the way he mashes me around. Yo Dad! You can’t tell if I’m Daddy’s little girl or a Momma’s boy prodding me from the outside!!! You gotta let the doc tell you! Back off mister! What am I new?

Everyone keeps comparing me to fruit … kiwi, avocado, turnip. Bite me! I’m trying to grow a body in here, I look like a freak! Toothpick arms, beady little eyes that are finally moving to the front of my head and I’m starting to sweat, but you’d never know because I feel like I’m constantly being slimed by the Ghostbusters!

Well anyway, here’s a picture of Mom. I’m starting to think it’s going to get real tight in here soon unless she starts building me an extension on my “house”.
