I've Got 20 Minutes and a Baby Picture
Friday, November 13, 2009 Consider this post a pre-emptive strike, nothing more. I've been doing this once-a-month posting thing for long enough to intuitively sense when I'm about to be called out on Twitter for abandoning my blog. Plus, my dogs started barking at the sky and swarms of bees flew in counter-clockwise formation yesterday.
But I've got 20 minutes before I need to jump in the car and head to work. So I'm pulling the baby picture / new blog fodder card. This is BusyBaby at 12ish weeks. We don't know the sex yet, so I can't give him/her a cool nickname.
Is it me or is BusyBaby really developed for just 12 weeks? He/she is sucking his/her thumb and has already located the spot for optimal lumbar support.
Of course Fury is all excited. He's been asking for a little sister for some time now. Hmm spoil him much? We've tried to explain to him that the gender of the baby will be a gamble, like Vegas (shut up, he just goes for the free alcohol), but of course he's not above stirring the cosmic pot with the power of suggestion. He's been holding onto this gift he got for his little sister for months now:
Let's hope Fury can charm fate like he does the world.

You know, you're right! BusyBaby looks at *least* 18 weeks. :D
Awww, sweet! I hope he does get a girl!
I keep asking my son if he thinks he'll be having a little boy or girl for a baby brother or sister and he just says, "no, it's a baby". Well, I'm glad we've got that straight!
Oh my god, that's adorable!
Wait. I think I see one leg outstretched in some sort of muay thai move...Fury may have his work cut out for him whether it's a brother OR a sister.
Fistbump.
The main question is.. Can you tell what super powers your child has yet??
I need to put my current wombed baby's ultrasound up as well. You can tell where their wolverine claws are.
Uh, when I had my first ultra sound at 11 weeks, there was a small peanut of a blob with a little blip of a heartbeat. THAT picture is NOT a 12 week old baby. THAT is a much much older fetus.
BUT YAY there is a baby!
Awesome, we're expecting again as well!
So do you have to train the bees to do that counter-clockwise thing or do they just do that on their own?
LOL What if it is a boy? Will he be disapointed? Or does he know he can pass along those things that drive you nuts?
Oh, i seriously miss being pregnant. I'm jealous of your wife. And that BusyBaby is absosmurfly amazing. Great picture.
Congrats, again - and healthy 7 mos to your BabyMomma
Great baby pic. I'm sure s/he will be a chef just like Fury. Just think of all the awesome stuff he can corrupt... I mean, teach... the little one! Pretty darn cool. ;)
Congratulations! A new BusyBaby!
FYI - babies are completely developed by 12 weeks gestation and just spend the last 6 months growing and maturing. :) But they're complete little bodies at this point. Not saying your kid's not advanced or anything. :)
Here's my take on why Fury wants a baby sister - so that he doesn't have to share all of his COOL toys with her!! Congratulations (again)!
FYI - my daughters are 6 1/2 years apart and it's been great. You'll love it.
Your baby is beautiful! Congrats Fury.
Well, it's about time!
Great post!!
It makes me glad my baby makin' days are over though.
Congrats!
Congrats! The anticipation was one of the best parts for me. Just be sure not to leave that pic in the car.....we learned the hard way...they are heat sensitive.
Fury is sooooooo cute to want a little sister and get her a frog! If anyone can will that adorable fetus into being a girl it'd be him! So excited =)
I want a niece! but since Fury is so cute, who wouldn't want another one of him? :) I think fury wants a sister because well, he knows little sisters are awesome!! heehee.
Love baby pix! So cool that there is going to be a new addition to the Busy Family. Fury is going to be such a rawkin' Big Bro. Lucky kid.
Wow, BusyBaby looks like a GENIUS already! (and a girl, yanno ;) )
Are you going to change the name of your blog to The Extra Busy Dad Blog now? :D Cool ultrasound pics man...excellent work. :D
It's amazing. It's a super baby! I can tell just from the ultrasound pic that the baby has the highest IQ ever seen on planet earth! And an amazing sense of humor too! Wow! Aren't you a lucky dad? : )
Aww, too cute! I love the position for the lumbar support ;) Can't wait to find out the sex! I hope Fury gets his wish...though I'm sure you'll be in trouble then. If 3of3 has you around her finger, imagine what your own will do! ;)
That baby is obviously an Asian genius.
He/She is obviously taking after his/her big brother and being totally awesome and developmentally spectacular (hence the Vegas thing).
Congrats man!
Oh my gosh that is so adorable - the thumbsucking and the pink present!
Ultrasound pictures give me PTSD. I never got much good news from ultrasounds. So, just so you know...you owe me a Xanax.
*sniff*... omg... that is tooooo adorable... great baby pic!
That's super cool that Fury wants a little sis... I still remember EONS ago when my daughter asked me to please go and pick her up a baby brother from the store. They want what they want right?
I hope Fury's wish comes true! Although I don't envy you if he gets a little sis as cute as he is... that might pose some problems later in life!!! (you may want to invest in a shotgun!! :P)
that kid is clearly a genius already.
Yay!!!! Congratulations!!
while i appreciate the cute factor of this post, i'm still waiting for the next potato vid.
(i hope it is a girl!!!)
congrats =)
Your children, both of them, are adorable.
I've been even more lax in my keeping up with blogs as you have been in blogging because I had NO IDEA!
Congratulations!!!!
Cutest little profile ever.
congrats, dude! i'm in the same boat...no pics yet, though. too early still.
LOVE in utero pics - absolutely adorable!
OMG!
I'm glad you drank the water too! We aren't ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!
:)
Congrats dad twice over!
Congrats!
