Arrested Development!

Approx. 6.5 months! Due date is Nov. 22nd (Thanksgiving)

The fu-manchu and cowboy duds are because the church held its Vacation Bible School this past week and the theme was western! I was Sheriff Andy in the Tumbleweed Gulch drama all week. Plus, I think Ash liked the badge ; )

We're headed to OH-IO this week for a short vacation of fishing, quality time with the Maier fam, and a baby shower! Upon our return the doctor appt.'s begin on a 2 week schedule as the third trimester is upon us. NOPE, the nursery still isn't done... or even close! We don't have any baby furniture yet... EXPENSIVE! Cooper has a big comfy bed but I just can't seem to get Ash cool with the thought of sharing. Coop gets really warm at night which would be good! Anyway, Ashley has FINALLY had some pregnancy issues happen after over 6 months of pretty smooth sailing. Back pain has developed from time to time but she's doing really well despite some rough nights of not sleeping which everyone reminds us "to get used to"! Check back in a week or so for some baby shower pics!!! Love ~ J.

22/20

Ash 22 weeks / Baby 20 As you can see the physical attributes are strikingly common to the father. Bald! We had a chance of getting one of them thar new fangled 3D sonograms but were advised that at this stage of development the little dude would look pretty alien-like. That takes me back to the current shape of my own bald head... it's not round... like abnormally not round. What's up with that mom? We're hoping for a combination of our best attributes. Unfortunately, as in the Maier and Hausman men... this little guy has no chance at ever having a butt!
