19 weeks

We have our ultrasound tomorrow afternoon, at which time we will *hopefully* find out if we're having a boy or a girl. Of course, Pete told us more than a month ago that "it's a girl, and don't argue with me about that." He has since changed his mind, and he gets offended if you refer to the baby just as "the baby." If you commit this grave error, Pete will sternly reprimand you and ask that you refer to the baby as "Baby Henry."

Yesterday, Amanda got her weekly update from babycenter.com showing the development of the child. She left her computer to go check on one of the millions of things moms check on during the day, and Pete was happy to take her place in front of the screen.

Upon seeing this picture, Pete called Amanda back into the room. "Look," he said, "Baby Henry's doing a sleeper hold with his legs! Isn't that cute?" He went on to tell her that she doesn't know about sleeper holds, but that he does because daddy showed him what a sleeper hold was a couple of days ago.

What? Like I could send him off to his first summer of VBS without first teaching him how to administer a sleeper hold. What kind of father do you think I am?
