The New Family Member


On the left is the yet to be named member of our family at 14.5 weeks old. Later on this morning, Teri and I will be geting an update to this picture. Today is our 20 week ultrasound.
In the first, our child was confindently taunting Big Papi declaring his (Teri thinks) or her (Matt thinks) dominance within our family. We'll see about that.
What we learned was that its heart was beating, and brain was huge! It will probably break Michael Phelp's record with 9 Golds at the 2028 Olympics. Sorry, we don't have any tickets for you.
The Doctor did say that the child was doing very well then. Since, Teri has felt it moving (gas?) and it is noted to be the size of a heirloom tomato. All growing baby comparisons are to vegetables. Her belly is growing, her sickness is over, and she looks great. Big Papi seems to be excited as well, but that may be because Teri always feeds him cheese.
We hope to get more good news today. There will be more photos, and hopefully a confirmation that January 12 is the likely due date. To be continued...

I have one thing to say to Big P: UPGRADE!!
Also, please call him a big baby for me.
But also let him know that if he can't take being #2 in the Yodkamp house he can hop on the high-speed bullet train from Seattle to SF and I will adopt him. Oh wait, there is no high-speed bullet train. (Fist in air!). Please tell him to Fed Ex himself to me and I will pay the postage.
