Belly Shots!

Vik and I had another photo shoot last night (our first was at 18 weeks).  Our original plan was to take photos every four weeks but, well, our babymoon and then swine flu (more on that later) got in the way.  We promise, however, to try to do better in the third trimester — which [...]

Best Show Ever!

Vik and I have a new favorite program that we watch every night before bed and every morning when we wake up.  And no, it is not on cable or network television. This show is available only in our house.  We call it the “Watch and Feel Duckie Kick and Flip Show” and, although this [...]

Showing, Showing, Gone . . .

… My body, that is.
Up until this morning, I had been feeling really good about myself, patting myself on the back for gaining weight throughout this pregnancy at such a slow and steady rate — from my first appointment through my 20-week appointment, I gained only 3 pounds.
I was feeling quite proud that although my [...]

Our “Babymoon”

Apologies for not posting in a while.  Things are fine great with us and the Little One; we have just been away on our Babymoon!
Since I have been feeling pretty good lately — with my energy back, along with my ability to brush my teeth without gagging — Vik and I decided this would be [...]

That’s My Boy . . .

As I mentioned a few posts ago, Vik and I never had any doubt that we wanted to find out the gender of this baby as soon as possible. We are not by nature very patient people, and neither one of us is a huge fan of surprises. Needless to say, we were very happy [...]

Here he is . . .

As promised, here are some of our favorite images from Master Duck’s big reveal yesterday.  We have decided not to post any of the more revealing shots — although the Little One is not shy about showing off his privates, we are!

Man-U

About 15 minutes into the experiment, Master Duck lined up what felt like a penalty kick, and then proceeded to bend it like Beckham!

Looks like our little Master Duck is a soccer fan. JoAnne kept feeling more and more intense (and regular) kicks over the past few days, and last night, I was finally able [...]

Oh BOY!

Vik and I went for the BIG ultrasound today, and the tech took over an hour and a half to get all of the views she needed (and she still could not get everything!). She did, however, manage to get several excellent views of Master Duck’s BOY parts – our Little Man may be super-active [...]

Stay Tuned . . .

… the most nerve-wracking aspect of pregnancy is … the complete and utter inability to know what is going on in there and whether the baby is okay.

Vik and I are headed to the doctor bright and early Thursday morning (well, 9:30 AM, which is bright and early for me!) for our BIG ultrasound.  This [...]

Knock, Knock, Who’s There?

So, for the past week or so I have been feeling random little pokes and occasional waves way down low in my belly.  At first I was reluctant to chalk these sensations up to the baby moving, but after feeling them somewhat consistently for over a week, I am now ready to confirm that YES, [...]
