Here is Baby Kumquat!

Let's start by saying this is your official, "Jennette and Tony are having a baby" notice! Surprised? So were we initially, but when God throws a lightning bolt your way you're just glad you don't catch on fire.

Although it may seem like a strange way of doing this, with parents in 3 different cities across the country and friends all over we thought this would be a good way to keep you posted with my "growth" each month. Although I will embarrass myself with pictures of me and my food cravings...there will NOT be pictures each week/month of my ever expanding belly. (Sorry Denise & Robin, I have to draw a line somewhere.)

Here are a few of the 12 week ultrasound pictures. So far everything looks great and he/she is right on target. Right now my due date is February 20, 2010 which means only 1 semester of class this year. More on that later...

Hardly the size of a kumquat anymore, at week 10 I read that the baby was about the size of a kumquat. This has definitely been the most exciting fruit that the baby has resembled so far (week 9=grape, week 11=fig, week 12=lime) so from henceforth we are having "Baby Kumquat". OK, when we know for sure if we are having a boy or girl I suppose we can change over then to a baby name, but for now this will do.

Until the mood so strikes me to post again...

Horton out.
