Harry and other Potters

As most everybody who has been anywhere near any sort of electronic or (gasp) print information device (ie: tv, internet, newspaper, etc.) this month is full of all things Harry Potter. With the release of the 7th and final (or according to J.K. Rowling, perhaps not "only time will tell") novel in the Harry Potter saga and the well timed release of the 5th movie, there has been an inundation of information on the boy wizard. Below is one of the best Potter spoofs I've seen in recent days... ;)



Full disclosure: I have indeed already seen the 5th movie...in IMAX 3D glory, and have my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows coming via amazon.com on Saturday... :)

Isn't she showing yet...part 2

So here is the 31 week update. Tonya still doesn't seem to think that she's showing, but over the last couple of days it's been pretty noticeable that her belly is indeed popping out a bit more. The pregnancy is going fairly well. Tonya has developed gestational diabetes, so we have to be a little more careful about her carb intake, and she has also started to feel some signs of carpal tunnel syndrome in both of her hands, but that is a normal possibility for pregnancy. The baby has decided that she really likes the right side of Tonya's belly, and was pushing her back against the side wall pretty hard last week. All in all, though, everybody is healthy, and except for the occasional "pregnant moments" (Tonya's words, not mine...so save the "you shouldn't be saying things like that to a pregnant woman" stuff for a time when it's a little more necessary) and Tonya's hands falling asleep with increasing frequency, everybody is happy as well. We're going to be getting a "growth ultrasound" at the beginning of August due to to the gestational diabetes, and will post those pictures as soon as possible afterwards.
