Welcome to Newbie's first blog...

Who is Newbie? The surprise growing in my belly, of course. We chose to leave the sex of the baby a surprise until delivery, in order to rejoice in the thrill of "It's a ....!!!!"


We're open to guesses, tricks and old wives tales, tarot readings, anything but the sonogram that reveals the secrets of Newbie's nether regions.

As long as the cats approve

With Newbie arriving in ~7 weeks, I don't think Kiera and Wiley know quite what they're in for. They live quite blissful lives, sleeping more often than waking, using our laps as furniture, and shedding to their hearts' content.

Kiera has shown obvious signs that she likes the belly. As with a few weeks ago, we've captured her again nestling on the belly. Newbie was particularly active during this catnap, and I wonder if she could feel anything (or really noticed/cared). I think she likes that the bump props her up a bit higher and she can get closer to my face.

To all those leery of cats sleeping with baby...we do have a "tent" installed over the crib should they feel the need to explore Newbie's territory. They'll have to wait a few years until the third lap is ready.
