We are having a....

... baby. Human pretzel, actually. Little stinker folded it's arms across it's chest and crossed it's legs and curled in half into a ball for an hour. Rolled around and turned sideways and moved a bunch, all the while in a tight little ball. Ultrasound tech said she's leaning toward girl (which is what mommy has thought all along) but wouldn't commit to anything. Another four weeks. In the meantime, we will be calling her (because I would rather assign the baby a gender than continue to call the baby "it" and because the baby was so stubborn and modest today it has to be a girl) pretzel or little tumbler after her somersaulting, cannonball antics today.



pardon the sideways video, but here's a small glimpse of the walking dude

Think Baby Wilkening might have a little stubborn streak?! :) Sounds like the baby must be healthy to be pulling those kinds of tricks. Yeah! Thanks for the vid of Markus walking. Oh, my word - he looks SOOOO grown-up. Ready to be a big brother soon. Meanwhile, my firstborn is driving (learner's permit). How DOES it happen? Love to all.
