Tale of the tape

5:30 in the morning...early for a Saturday, but can't sleep anymore.  Noises of my dogs chewing themselves, combined with my wife's insulin pump constantly beeping...and what topped it off is that I heard my wife's DROID get an email!  Yup, I'm a light sleeper nowadays.  Probably good practice for when the baby comes.  In fact, I should practice having broken sleep.  From what I hear, one would be lucky if I get an hour or two....without interruption.

People on Facebook are asking the standard questions that come with pregnant announcements, hence the title of this blog.  So enjoy...
- We're in 'Week 12' of the pregnancy.  So far the fetus looks very good
- Due date looks to be the 2nd or 3rd week of Dec. (Dec 20th was the initial guesstimate)
- We do want to know the sex of the baby (I feel it's good for planning)
- We do have first and middle names picked out already (and they're secret until the birth)
- Wife is automatically considered a "high-risked" pregnancy, because of her diabetes. 
- The name for now is 'Cletus'...cause it rhymes with fetus and technically, that's what it is at this moment.  Yes, we are weird  :-)

There is one positive thing we found (it's true...there was one positive thing coming out of a high risk scenario)...we get increased ultrasounds.  Our doctor will want us in more often for these checkups and we're more than happy to oblige.  More ultrasounds = more fetus/inside the womb pics.  I think that's it for this morning.  Another busy day coming up...maybe I can try and get one or two more hours of shuteye.
