Ultrasound
I will keep it simple and just post the pictures. 20 weeks 2 days. Still no name.

It's been a while
Finally finished my last task of the day and reviewed the new listing that our real estate agent had sent today. Wow, its midnight. Anthony Bourdain show is starting on Travel Channel. There he is again with some alcoholic beverage in yet another country. Good show to relax to alone in the living room. Aylin is fast a sleep and I can freely watch a free spirited, drinking, swearing, fried pork skin loving hedonist chef without guilt. I am waiting for that day when TV can transmit taste and smell as well. My mouth is watering. There he goes again, another pork rind in Puerto Rico. Yep, finally a good time to write that blog entry I've been neglecting for some time.
Not that I didn't have anything to write about. There were many things to write like Eric getting teary eyed over the weekend as he reminisced about his girls and how quickly they have grown. I just couldn't help but think about the fact that Eric found out Lori being pregnant with their first child the day before he and I took off for a trip to Dortmund, Germany for work. I was the first person to find out about Katie after Eric. The third person overall. The twins were born two years later, on August 20th. The day before I took off to Turkey in 2002 to meet Aylin for that infamous Blue Cruise that resulted in me creating this blog in the first place.
They say the three most stressful things in your life are, childbirth, moving, and a new job. I've got news. We are closing on our new house in Rochester on November 26th. That leaves us a little over a month to sell our house in Tampa and settle back in Rochester; a move necessitated by my new position at work. The timing seems to be just right because after the end of November Aylin will be too pregnant to travel. The real estate market downturn isn't helping any either. I've been so pre-occupied with other things that the blog just had to take a second seat.
What a good friend Eric is. He calmed me yet again when we stopped over at their house after a full day of house hunting in Rochester over the weekend. Eric is very good source of advice and I unashamedly seek my share. Thanks to him I am no longer panicking about handling a new born, just nervous. I am comfortable with our parenting instincts enough to not worry about raising a child by constantly sifting trough the pages of some baby manual. Just keep one handy. I know that we are going to need a lot of diapers. Good advice Eric. I had not realized the magnitude of his advice until he put it in perspective and told me that diapers are their own item in Quicken. For those of you who are not familiar with Quicken, it's a financial/tax preparation software for those who prefer to do their own taxes on their PC at home. And, I am comforted by the fact that we can inherit some of the cool stuff his girls outgrow. Probably a tax break for him and a penny saver for me.
So, you can see why I am so glad to have Eric and Lori as dear friends. With a 7 year old and 5 year old twins, they have a lot of experience that we can learn from. They have all the answers to questions about brands, types, necessities, activities, etc. But, if you want to learn about parenting, you just have to see them with their kids. They are wonderful teachers.
