Getting Up to Speed

I can't believe it's been 7 days since my last post-- time is flying.

This will be a quick post with more pictures than narrative (writing this during my lunch break).
Generally, we are doing very well. Jen's belly is getting bigger by the day, Gaius is gestating well, and I am continuing to slave away on the nursery renovations. We should get to the painting sometime this week, Gods willing.

Okay. The first picture we have is from two Sundays ago at Jim and Greta's house in New York. We met the Blaus for breakfast and spent some more time with Master Seamus. Here he is, pictured in one of the Julieanna onesies.

After breakfast with the Blaus, Jen and I headed down to the South Seaport. This is located at the Southern tip of Manhattan, I think.

We went there to see an exhibit called "Bodies", which featured lots of dead people and their organs. There were also lots of medical students and doctors walking around with their wives and dates, talking very loudly and trying to impress their women.

We were not allowed to take pictures of anything inside, but we did get a photo of the sign outside. So exciting.

After we saw dead people, Jen and I were done with Manhattan. Time to say goodbye.

Here we are, below, posing together. Gods, I am hideous. With each passing day, my eyes get more rat-like and my brow more ape-like. Hmmm....I am just noticing that my beard matches Jen's hair. I wonder if Gaius will have red hair?

And here is a picture of the lovely Jen, in full profile. Love the coat. So cute, that belly. I disagree with Jen that it makes her look like a "pregnant troll" .

That's the last picture from The Big Apple. After leaving the city, we went to NJ for 4 days and enjoyed a very nice Passover.

We got home last Wednesday, and it was back to work for the both of us. Did I mention we have so much stuff left to do before Gaius arrives?
Babies are so much work, and this one is not even here yet.

Speaking of babies, remember when I told you that our cat, Filbert, wants to be one? Last night, he took his baby-envying-ways to a whole new level. I swear to the Gods that the picture below is not staged in any way.

This cat is out of control, I tell you. Watch out, Gaius, Filbert is not going to give up being the center of attention without a struggle.Well, I think we're up to date now.
