Keeping up with Kevin

Kevin loves his dump truck!

Oh, they're so cuddly!!! Mmm! Papa makes yummy orange julius!

What's he doing now?

Kevin loves to look at truck magazines for some odd reason.

Big Brother

Baby number two is on its way!!! Kevin gets to be a big brother. Our baby is due July 18th!

9 Weeks

How your baby's growing:Your new resident is nearly an inch long and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.

Tag Teaser

Sharon tagged me so I guess that means I'm it. This is what I'm supposed to do:

"Pass this on to 5 blogging friends. Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56. Write the 5th sentence, as well as two to five sentences following that."

Well, the closest book to me would be The Anatomy of Hymnody by Austin C. Lovelace.

Page 56, sentence 5 and some states:

"In much the same way that 76.76.D. is created by dropping one syllable from lines one and three of CM, 87.87. is created by adding one syllable to lines two and four. Like its sister form, it is gentler and less virile than CM because of its falling, yielding cadence and double syllable rhyming. It has been used sparsely. Note the rhymes: never-ever, leadeth-feedeth, sought me-brought me, beside me-guide me, never-ever. The result is one of sweetness rather than strength."

So, Sharon,... why did I just do that?

I'm afraid I lack the inclination to tag my friends simply because I have some chores to finish. Kind of a neat exercise I guess.
