Singleton

One brother. But now we have to name that single brother. And it's kinda tricky.

So far all the names I've chosen are the nicknames of serial killers (who would've thought that serial killers' moms had good taste in baby names). And the only other recommendations we've received are Nick (short for Nickel), Bill (short for Dollar Bill), and I.P. (short for Investment Portfolio). Can you imagine a little Investment Portfolio Dennis Packard? Yikes. I. P. just isn't gonna cut it.

So, send me your best suggestions and Seth and I will seriously consider them.  What other choice do we have?

You were right, Erin

The yellow flower swimsuit cover is cute.

Or maybe it's just Penny in the yellow flower swimsuit cover.

October 25th!

We were picked up by Redbox for a national release (holy crap) and Time-Warner Video on Demand (that's the most prestigious satellite pay-per-view/download around --- equally holy crap).  Those are the front-runners that we're SUPER excited about.  It'll also be on Walmart.com (possibly inside Walmarts), Amazon.com, iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, and some other places I can't remember.

Sorry, you'll have to read this all over again on your Facebook in a bit, I'm just so excited I could pee my shorts.

*** Redbox went through LOTS (10+?) of dvd cover options (very important to their business model obviously) and they were insistent on the creepy head picture - which just happened to by my favorite one as well.  Thanks Alisia! ***

Not to get your hopes up...

...but today my midwife said I'm bigger than what's expected for 14 weeks of pregnancy.

I'll let you interpret that however you'd like.

Who is responsible for this?

"Smile at the camera, Penny."

"Okay, smile Penny!"Not I.

Leggs

My latest garden veggie.

Sweet.

Take That, Erin!

I spend a lot of my time trying to convince my sister Erin that Penny looks just like me. But this time I took it a step further. Penny doesn't just look like me.

Penny IS me.

Yeah, that's right. This argument is over.

Happy Birthday to Me

The Baby is Bored

I repeat. B-O-R-E-D.

She's a very active and exploratory kinda gal, and right now I'm a lazy, lay-around-the-house-all-day kinda gal. Which makes for one very under stimulated baby. She pretty much sits in that laundry basket all day. I think she'd like sensory trays, but she still eats stuff that's not food. Any other good activities/experiences/games for a 14-month-old baby?

Ideas please.

Or else Penny just may die of boredom (probably not).

Ha!

It's Votin' Time

All right, so here's the deal. I'm pregnant. And Seth is sure it's twins for 2 reasons.

1. He has identical twin uncles and twins usually skip a generation which would mean he or his cousins would be due for twins.

2. I'm much bigger this time around. I know that happens on subsequent pregnancies, but let's take a look at the below pictures. (Click on pictures to enlarge).

L-Pregnant with Penny, 8 weeks. R-Pregnant with Baby(ies) No. 2, 8 weeks.
Also notice how much better my house is looking!

Maybe you're thinking, "Geez Em, you're not that much bigger." But let's look once again at the below photos.

L-Pregnant with Penny, 12 weeks. M-Pregnant with Baby(ies) No. 2, 8 weeks. R-Pregnant with Penny, 14 weeks.

Which would put me roughly at 13 weeks along in Penny pregnancy time.

You be the judge. Vote in the comments, and don't just say twins because you're afraid of calling me fat. I can handle it.

Living Planet Aquarium

Penny and the blow fish.

Touching the rays with dad....

...and then licking her hand clean. Gross.

Packing Peanut Penny

Makes one happy baby.

I suck at blogging

How 'bout another cure picture of Penny, 'cause really that's all I got around here.But Seth did just buy us a Groupon year pass to the Living Planet Aquarium, so maybe you'll get some pictures of fish soon? Stay tuned.

Also, this picture looks just like the one 2 posts down.

Happy 4th

We took family pictures. Patriotic, huh?
