prof. goldblatt
As most of you know, this lovely blog was created back in 2005 to document our progression from a married couple to a married couple with child. Well, today the blog takes another leap forward in its evolution.
Ladies and Gentlemen, dear readers of the blog, may I introduce you to Professor Goldblatt:
The Professor at 13 weeks.
Yes, Overboard and I are gonna rock Kenny's world come July 15 with the arrival of the baby currently known as "Professor Goldblatt." For anyone who came into this blog late, I will mention here that Kenny's baby codename was "Dr. Rosenberg" and that this was once known as "the Rosenblog."
We discovered we were gonna be parents again back in November, and have been sitting on this news ever since. Now that the first trimester is behind us, we're willing to share. Or overshare, even, since this was the picture I originally wanted to use to break the news:
Subtle, no? I actually stole the idea from my buddy Jarrod. He's clever like that.*
As was the case with Kenny, we will be finding out Goldblatt's gender at the 20 week mark, and we will share that information. Names, however, will stay under wraps until Goldblatt makes his or her triumphant appearance in July. Not that it should stop you from making suggestions for us to ignore, er, consider. We always get a kick out of that.
July 15. That's a big day as it's my brother's birthday. And July is a big month. Because seemingly everyone in this family has something going on that month. My dad, brother, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, cousin, and even myself have birthdays in July. My niece even celebrates her half-birthday in July. There are also two wedding anniversaries (including our own), and some friend's birthdays. Plus you have that whole 4th of July thing, which comes with a great parade right in front of the house. And, if we're feeling like Francophiles, there's Bastille Day (which is also known as my cousin's birthday, but without the French part).
But what the hell. The more the merrier.
Finally, just as we did with Kenny, I'll soon start posting our week by week updates of how Goldblatt is progressing, and what size vegetable, animal or mineral he/she is (currently a medium-sized shrimp).
My parting thought is that Kenny is in for a serious reality check once Goldblatt arrives and he loses his status as the baby around here. I have already commented to Overboard that I think Sadie will follow Kenny around, snickering, and saying things like, "Oh, it's on now! Yeah, you thought you were so slick coming in and stealing my thunder, but now let's see how you like a little competition. Muwahahahaha. Wait a sec...I think that thing just dropped some food on the floor. Later, gator."
Or something like that.
*Overboard doesn't doubt Jarrod's cleverness, but she gave me a lot of grief about posting a picture of something she peed on. She may have a point, but she was trumped by my sense of humor and nostalgia. After all, that peed on piece of plastic changed our world forever. And it's funny. So there.
