Our registries

If you know us, you've probably realized by now that we're not really shoppers. If you don't know us, we're a bit confused why you're here, but you're still welcome to buy us stuff, we guess. We put some necessities on our registry, but you may notice that even if we get everything on the list, the peanut will still be running around naked a good bit of the time. Clothes, toys, blankets, and other necessities of babyhood/toddling would greatly be appreciated!

We are registered at Amazon.com and Babyland.

The stork's ETA

When do we get our present at the hospital?



You can leave a more exact prediction in the comments if you wish.

Birth weight

So I was going to the local henweigh the other day. What's a henweigh, you ask? About 6-7 pounds, depending on breed. Ba dum bum.

Sorry for that, but we still have to ask, how much will the peanut weigh? Take the poll and leave a prediction in the comments!

The Pregnancy Journey. . .

December 31, 2006. (4 weeks along) After taking a pregnancy test I woke J up with the good news that we had a peanut on the way. He was excited, if not a little sleepy. We headed to Seattle that weekend. I toured around while J attended a conference. Here I am at Pike Place Market.


March 17, 2007. (14 weeks along) A St. Patrick's Day visit to the Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul, IL. Dmitry and Ellis visited from Madison for the weekend.


May 13, 2007. (22 weeks along) We enjoyed a Mother's Day brunch at Allerton Park, in Monticello, IL.


May 19, 2007. (23 weeks along) At a Milwaukee Brewers game, the peanut is learning to like baseball early.


June 29, 2007. (29 weeks along) We stopped at Blue Sky winery in Southern Illinois to take in the scenery, not to drink : ) .
