Our little Felines

Here are some pics of our two little felines. The grey one is named Sebastien and the brown one is called Misha.

Check out Seba getting ready for Munchkin's arrival!

The Discovery

It was a typical early Friday morning like any other. At about 8am, my cell phone spewed out a horrible Nintendo-like scream that pulled me back to the lands of the living. I jumped out of bed with enthusiastic pep and walked over to our living room; after all this was game day, much better than the other type of day in my life: work day. I spotted the cats sleeping under some blankets and I patted them on the head to say 'hi'. I then walked over to the computer to turn on the Habs game. It was close to the end of the season and the Habs were fighting for a championship against a divisional foe. As any hockey fan will tell you, an important game to say the least. After a couple of periods of expected Hab-dominance, Moah finally woke up in a daze and walked over for a morning hug. A smile here, a word there, and back to the game I go. A little while later, as third period action began, Moah walked over to me, pulled my headphones from my ears and presented me with one of those little pregnancy sticks that you so often see in romantic comedies. Now, before I continue with this story I think it is imperative that I state the following: ONE, this stick has been presented to me almost every week for the past 8 months, SECOND, it has always been accompanied by the typical: "One line or two lines? One? Two? What do you think? ?This thing is impossible to decipher."

So I took the stick, had a gander, said: "One? Two?...One. Yes, one." then gently gave the pee-stick back and went back to third period action. Moah, on the other hand, was convinced that the invisible second line was obviously popping out and staring us right in the face with the news of a pregnancy. Guess who was right? Never doubt a pregnant woman's intuition; even if there's no second line.

A Munchkin Heartbeat

It's ALIVE!! It's truly ALIVE!!! WhahAHAha!!!

.

The experiment is a success!!! WhahahahHAHa!!! HA .....HA....

Check out the magic happening at 1'01".

The Little Nose that Could

One the most interesting changes to Moah's body has been this unbelievable discovery of a super-nasal sense of smell. I swear, it's a super sense!! We'll be on a wonderful roundabout; birds singing from tree tops, sun blistering across the lake water, just a beautiful clear day and, all of a sudden, Super-Nasal sense will kick-in. "Smells like cabbage", the nose will say. "Cabbage? Where?" And sure enough, a tiny piece of cabbage will be hanging from a plastic container directly in front of us...it may be a mile away, but it will be there...directly in front of us.

Nothing can get pass the Super-Nasal Sense!!

First Craving: False Alarm?

A few days back, I got a call from Moah asking me to pick up something to munch on.

"Cherry tomatoes!"

she blurted out, and then promptly demanded that I find a crate...or two. Could this be the Munchkin's first food craving? Moah doesn't believe so .....


but she keeps asking for more cherry tomatoes.


I believe she is starting to really enjoy the whole pregnancy experience. Then again, we are still in the elementary stages of it all. As of today, she has had a pretty mellow pregnancy; thankfully lacking in all the hoopla of morning sickness. I hope for her sake that it remains this way. Our next appointment is this Friday. Hopefully we'll have some new pictures to post.

Not much to RePort

Not much to report on the baby front these days.

We're waiting for our next appointment coming

in a week's time.

Our doctor said something about a heart beat but I think it may be a little early

- then again, what do I know.

I met with Moah at Coffee Bean after work today

and I caught her rubbing her stomach while she was having a laugh with her friend. Strange how a mother's instinct just kicks in.

She didn't even realize she was doing it.

Munchkin Pics

Here are a few more pics of our little life force.

Ain't it the cutest embryo you've ever seen in the whole wide world?

Ain't it? Ain't it?....Ain't it?

Welcome

::Newsbreak! ::

::Our little Munchkin has made itself a little home!::

They grow up so fast, don't they? Only last week the little Munchkin was too small for the naked eye, and now the Munchkin is a rockin' 1.05cm tall; one-point-zero-five.

I just read that the foetal projected growth rate at this stage is a full double-up; two-point-one, here we come.
