Baby update - 20 weeks in
After a critical mass of complaints about lack of updates, here is the baby update for the second trimester.
Kim and I are going to have a boy! Now we need to come up with a name. We've discovered that much like furniture and decorations in general, Kim and I can't agree on anything!
At the time of the above sonigraph, the baby weighed 13 oz and looked much more like a tiny person and less like a Gummi bear. You could see arms, feet, and even a face. Now, looking at the baby's face in the ultrasound at 20 weeks is nothing like seeing a real baby's face. In fact, my comment to Kim was that the baby's face in the ultrasound bore a striking resemblance to Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas:
Kim laughed then hit me. Or maybe she hit me then laughed. The details are fuzzy.
I've also got a New Year's Eve photo of Kim proudly wearing her maternity clothes. We had a calm New Year's Eve and day - home relatively early and we never got out of our pajamas the next day. Nice!

We did manage to get out and pick some of the baby furniture out. Apparently it takes up to 12 weeks to get furniture delivered, and we figured a baby bed would be something we don't want to be forced to wait for delivery on. So we picked out the crib, double dresser and bookcase from the Toscana collection from Capretti. Nice construction, cherry finish, and the bed converts into a twin or full sized bed and a toddler bed. I think this furniture is nicer than what Kim and I have in our bedroom!
