big yawns and other things

hi all... :)

i can't believe i'm at my 18th week of pregnancy already... when did *that* happen? oh my! p and i were off to the hospital yesterday morning to have our all-important ultrasound. while they can tell the sex at 17-20 weeks or so, this ultrasound is actually to see that all fingers and toes and hearts are doing what they're supposed to... and i'm happy to report that we saw all forty little digits dancing about, two hearts beating, two brains a-buzzing. unbelievable! at one point, the stinker known as baby a (labeled as such due to its' slam-dancing method of being a baby) yawned and they caught it on their screen. very neat. baby b is the chill one and they already seem to be displaying their own little personalities.

i think i'm still in a bit of shock...can you tell?

*oh* and yes, we know who and what they are, but are saving announcements for after we tell our immediate families... dump trucks or ballet shoes? either way, you'll all have to start nailing down the furniture anyway, so get ready! :)

now hiring...

barack and joe are hiring! it doesn't exactly say what they're hiring *for,* but if the position could be something like the scene halfway between "30 Rock" coupled with the "West Wing," I'm in...

i guess my only question now is if there'd be a way to work for the white house and be *working from home.* me likey that idea.

hi there world

ooh, you found me... great! yeah, yeah, yeah... jon and kate may have eight, and those somewhat bizarre TLC people have 18 and change, but as of around the beginning of april or so, praying all is well, pete and amy will have two matching little indians. can you believe it? i'm starting to (largely due to the fact that i'm starting to look as though i'm smuggling a beach ball of sorts).
here's hoping all is well all around!
stay tuned for all sorts of fun blarney!
