20 Week Ultra Sound
"Father to Be's Log...Stardate, March 18th, 2011."
My child's host (Jamie) and I went in to get a closer look of the spawn quickly growing inside of Jamie's body. While we ruled out the chance of twins, to this day we are still unsure of the sex of the next Heir to the Pinkey throne (by choice). In-utero, this creature seems to be very happy and active, as it appeared to be dancing as if it had chem-lites at an all night rave. Then, almost immediately, the baby fell asleep, and stopped moving. This caused us all to laugh, although it raised concerns of birthing a narcoleptic child. This could be trouble when the child becomes 16 and has a license...
Further examination of this life form revealed that one foot contained 5 toes, which was good. We pray that the baby is symmetrical, except for the heart, which we confirmed there is only one, which is also ok with us. Furthermore, the heartbeat was approximately 154 beats per minute, which leads me to believe that either the tiny heart is busy pumping blood in the developing body, or, that we are creating a tiny workaholic who is no stranger to 80 hour work weeks. This is a good thing, as I have many chores around the house that will need tending too upon delivery day. Assuming the background check and citizenship tests clear, I expect to employ this new Pinkey immediately upon delivery.
The host herself seems to be doing well, all things considered. Although her ankles appear to have taken the form of tree stumps, which we now refer to as theighnkles (she no longer has calves, and we still cannot identify the anomaly known as the theigh-ankle junction), she is waddling along just fine. Moving distally to Jamie's toes, her ever changing body has grabbed the attention of our dog George, who constantly licks her her toes which he swears are tiny Vienna Sausages. This tickles Jamie, which in turn, we feel, provides humor for the developing baby.
Unfortunately, the spawn has now severely limited Jamie's ability to perform basic tasks, such as tying her shoes, household chores, and staying awake past 7pm (local). Moreover, the spawn has appeared to have overtaken her olfactory perception and willingness to grocery shop, as Jamie has tried over 6 new types of ice cream, 5 different "Big G" Cereals (all of which contain enough sugar to kill a small pony), as well 4 different types of brownies, all of which contain peanut butter. In turn, this system override by the spawn has also had an effect on our washer and dryer machines, for while I still claim to have a 32" waistline, all of my trousers appear to be rapidly shrinking. When the spawn is delivered, I hope it has a technical background and can reset the changes it has placed on our household appliances...
Moving forward, we continue to monitor the heartbeat, observe fetal movements, and track Jamie's ever expanding belly via time elapsed photography .

Baby stroller: $229, Baby furniture: $600, Taking your husband to register for baby stuff: PRICELESS
Sunday, Josh and I went to babies r us to start our registry. Josh was a "little out of control". It all started when we sat down to give them our information and he started saying out loud "I know this isn't my baby and all but I will still support you wife", "I sure hope that guys pays us child support". EMBARRASSING!!!
I thought I got him under control until we went to the feeding section and next thing I know he is telling me to take a picture. When I turned around he had his shirt pulled up and had a breast pump up to this nipple. I thought I was going to die; That or get kicked out of the store before even putting one item on our registry. I finally took the picture and we were able to spend the next 3 hours walking around babies r us scanning everything we thought we would need for Wee Little Pinkey.

Those first movements
Last week while in michaels arts and craft store I was startled when I felt something "bug like" on my belly! I quickly realized it was the "flutter" feeling you first feel of your baby! I was so excited to finally get to feel our Wee little Pinkey squirm around! Ever since then I feel those little flutters everyday! Yestrday while teaching order of operation to my fifth graders I started laughing for no reason because the baby was moving so much that it tickled! :) my students thought that was the coolest thing! Josh has not been able to feel it yet, even though we have tried several times! Hopefully we will feel something soon from the outside so he can experience our wee little Pinkry squirm around!
Everything about this pregnancy has been absolutely amazing! I love everything I have experienced so far and look forward to the next 22 weeks and everything else there is to experience!

Seventeen Week
The past few weeks have been crazy busy but very exciting when it comes to our Wee Little Pinkey. We had our sixteen week doctors appointment Monday and everything went very well. The babies heartbeat is in the 120's. While we aren't going to find out, we did ask the doctor what she thought, and she said she would bet a little boy, but in the same breath she said she has delivered girls with a heartbeat in the 120's. I have been feeling a little boy though since the beginning but we won't know for sure until August! :)
Valentines day we bought our Wee Little Pinkey his/her furniture. Babies R Us was having an awesome sale and we couldn't resist. We bought a convertible crib, dresser, changing table, glider, and ottoman.
