Bumpday – 19ish Weeks
Well, still no bump pics, no matter what my public demands.
BUT – I do have another pic for you!
I’d like to introduce the world to our son Alvie Bean. I’m pretty sure we’re going to stick with that name. It’s unique, but it’s no Bronx Mowgli. Or Moxie Crimefighter. Or Kal-El. And maybe this way he’ll feel a kinship to Frances Bean (that would make them related, right?).
The architect still thinks the child looks like him, although I think he’s going to get my nose. Which honestly, is one of my best features. (Well that & my boobs, but I’m hoping he doesn’t get those. That would just be awkward.)
So – yay! Baby Boy Alvie Bean Gazelle Architect!
AND – because you’ve been so good and sat through an ultrasound picture, even though you were probably hoping for a paranormal romance book review or something (moved to Fridays!), I will show you the world’s creepiest ultrasound picture.
I’m hoping he doesn’t actually come out looking like this:
My son could be a haunted house prop, amiright?
Happy HBumpday, y’all!

November 5, 2011: I am grateful that I was able to discover enough courage to join Toastmasters. I know this sounds super cheesy, but it’s really made a HUGE difference in my life.
