Get in my belly!

I thought I could get by with the picture of Heidi and the van... but No... the peasants have revolted and the walls have been breached. In response to the demands, I will release our prisoners and post a new picture of the mom-to-be. Enjoy!

Heidi at 25 Weeks

New Sonograms

Here are the most recent pictures of the boys. Unfortunately, as they are getting bigger (which really isn't unfortunate, unless you ask Heidi) they are getting a lot harder give us clear pictures.

Good news for y'all though, Heidi and I have an appointment set for a 3D ultrasound, so we should be able to get a real good look at the boys. Until then, I hope this placates the masses. I should also be getting a video during that session... so if I can find a way to add that as well, I will do so.

The van arriveth

Ok, ok, I know I haven't posted in a while, and for that I am sorry. But, I come bearing gifts! Gifts in the form of pictures, which probably isn't much of a gift. It is better than one of those T-shirts that say "He didn't blog in over a week, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

Ok, maybe that would have been better.

I give to you.... The VAN!


Yes, commuters beware. Heidi doesn't mean to look down upon all of you *cough* sedans and *gasp* coupes. She doesn't believe she is better or superior. It is merely the thrill of the V6 engine and the stylish lines of the spoiler that could make anyone feel "bad to the bone"... If you meet her at a stop light and she begins to put on her leather gloves, you are in for a treat. Prepare to eat diaper dragster dust (which, now that it is in writing, sounds kinda gross).

In all seriousness, we are both very pleased with the van. It has more buttons and gizmo's that even I know what to do with. This is actually one vehicle where I have read the manual. Sure, I wont read the manual on our hedge trimmer (if I had, I would have seen the part about not using too close to the power cable ---- oops), but the vans' I read. Go figure.

I wont bore you with the details, but even a couple of my "anti-minivan" friends have been impressed with some of the features. I will say this... it has a laser. What is cooler than a frigging laser attached to a frigging minivan?

"Grocery getter", "Soccer Mom Mobile"...

Call it what you will, we are now proud owners of a Minivan. Yes, the time had to come sooner or later that Heidi and I would join the ranks of minivan owners. It just turned out that with two little devils on the way, our hand was forced. I guess I can give up my dream of a suburban assault vehicle. Maybe we can install a cannon that fires soccer balls? or at the very least, fires insults to the other drivers. I just don't think the technology is there yet.

I will have to rack that up in the failed promises list... We were, after all, supposed to all have flying cars by now. Sure, with enough speed and the right hill my car flies, but it is just not the same.

I will post some pictures of the van as well as some new sonogram pictures next week. We have yet another Dr. appt on Monday, so hopefully can get some good pictures. Until then, I leave you with this thought from Jack Handey
