Sherry's about 8 weeks along and the tentative due date is May 1. The reason I say tentative is that my daughter came 14 days after her due date.

Ok. I figured it out.... My pics were 3 kb over 200kb. After cropping them slightly, and resaving the jpg compression dropped them to < 50kb.

Don't want to spoil the fun, but that could also be the navelstring.. or is it called belly-button appendix? umbilical cord (had to search the dictionary for that one :))?

aah.. forget it...
Its a boy :)

In Dutch 'navelstreng'.

Anyway: Keep us informed Tubby!

More pictures should be coming today. I'm going to try to get the ultrasound video into a format that I could post here and it be small enough.

Tubby Rower
20-12-2005, 18:13
Here are the latest pics. It seems as though my baby has a backbone. The little turkey wouldn't turn over, so that means another ultrasound next month. Good news: more pictures. bad news: more money.

Nothing too thrilling in the video if you aren't a parent of said fetus, but I'll try to find an exciting part and save it as an mpg or sumpin.


The white lines across the top of the pic are Sherry's skin on her stomach.

Those were my thoughts too. We aren't finding out what the sex of the baby will be and the sonogram technician made us turn away and stopped the tape when she was in that area. So this IMO is the best indication that a boy is forthcoming.

Very nic pics Tubby!
Keep them coming.
As a soon to be/potential daddy, I like to learn as well.

Tubby Rower

Excellent News!!!! Sherry said that she has started having contractions. She said that she has been trying to ignore them. They could be Braxton-Hicks contractions (also dubbed false labor) but it does mean that I'm going to be a daddy .... again.

We're not telling family yet because they'll be nuts. And nothing is really going on yet. We'll let them know once he head to the hospital.

Good luck Sherry, Casey and Ana.

Tubby Rower

Thanks guys... It turns out that we told the parents about it. Sherry went to the doctor this afternoon and the midwife said that the baby was low. Sherry's 70% effaced, 2-3 cm dialated and the baby is a 0 station.

For those that don't know....

-> effaced = thin-ness of the cervix. ( 100% effaced = paper thin and close to pregnancy)
-> dialated = amount that the cervix is open (0% throughout most of pregnancy by gets up to 10 cm for birth)
-> 0 station means that the baby's head is at Sherry's pelvic bone. negative numbers mean that the baby is closer to outside

Good luck the coming hours!!! They keep telling us the 2nd delivery should be easier than the 1st, so I hope that applies to you and Sherry as well.

Looking forward to the pics.


With all the marriages and births that have been going on I'm thinking we should have a CDZ T for the kids and the kids to come.

Well Sherry made it through the night and I'm back at work. :(

Well, my 5 year-old made it thru the CIV tutorial, but he prefers helping me play X-Com instead of CIV.

well Sherry had a midwife appointment today and she is still the 3 cm dialated and 70% effaced just like 3 weeks ago... So no change.... buuuuuuut......

The midwife said that if she didn't have the baby by Monday she'll induce her.

Ethan Michael was born @ 5:10pm EST he weighed 9 lbs 12 oz (~4.4kg I think) and 21.5" (~54.5 cm) long. Both Mother and son are doing fine... Ana (my 2.5 year old) was jumping up and down with joy. She was so funny to watch :D

@ BCLG, this is the last one.

@ [paal], I've been working on balancing him ;). He's only fell 3 times. All 3 times, I've caught him on the first bounce [lol]
