Baby Dos: Week 20


I don't have a size comparison this week. Instead, I have something even better...a picture from our ultrasound last Thursday. We were pleased to find that everything looks great. They measured bones, checked the heart, checked other organs, and did just about everything BUT inform us of the baby's gender. Again, we chose not to find out the baby's gender during the ultrasound, preferring to be surprised at the birth. I have a gut-feeling as to whether the baby is a boy or a girl so we'll see if that's right. On top of all that, Baby Dos was measuring within a couple days of what was expected so, in theory, our previous estimated due date of around May 23rd/24th should be about as close as can be expected.

If you're dying for a dose of retro, I did see a pretty nice Fiero on the drive to work. It was a white GT fastback model so it would've had the beefier V6 engine and, potentially, some beefier suspension components. It was also sporting a black set of classic Pontiac starburst wheels. I'm going to guess it was 1987 but I don't know for sure. It was pretty similar to the one found here. I tell you what, the Fiero is one of the most underrated vehicles made. It was always a good car for what it was intended...a commuter car for short trips around town. Unfortunately, the public expected a mid-engine, two seater to be, you know, a sports car. It's a shame the Fiero didn't evolve into a sports car (and a fine one, at that) until the public had already decided it would never be one. By then, it was too late. Sigh.
