Parker Jane is on the way...Week 26-27!

Ok Ok here are the latest pictures of Stacey. We are moving this week and then we are off to NY so our updates may be sparse over the next few weeks as we gear up for the final "push" to parenthood.

Bumps are beautiful!

Parker's First Cookbook and Bike.

Random road race in San Fran. We stumbled upon it as we were walking in the sun.

Sean and Stacey prepare for parenthood by becoming superheroes...

Week 25

We got it - parkerjane.com is locked up. Sorry but we got there first. Not much there yet but stay tuned

Simple Family - At first glance I thought this magazine was for families with low IQ's but after closer examination I learned that it is all about getting back to basics. Simple solutions are just what our family needs here in SF where space is at a premium. More on getting more space below...

Rockabye Baby - OK is this a shameless ploy to get me to buy more useless crap for the baby or is it a great way to introduce Parker to the melodies and songs I love? Amazing or annoying? I can't decide yet but here are a few nuggets for you to try out yourself.

Wish You Were Here Going to California Brown Sugar

New Apartment...sort of

Below are pictures of a unit similar to the new one we are moving into next month. We are up the 12th floor with killer views and a fireplace. We also gain another bathroom and much needed closet space. All this and we only have to move across the courtyard to the other tower. It will be all ready when Parker arrives in December.

Beautiful & Cozy Two Bedroom Loft Apt.

This week in the BGI (Baby Growth Index) - "Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight � a pound and a half � isn't much more than an average rutabaga." When does my daughter go from vegetable to animal?

Week 24

I'll try again today to get the timeline updated but Stacey is hiding from the camera. She can only see the tips of toes now so she doesn't think the camera is her friend anymore. In the meantime check this out....

Each week I receive an email update from BabyCenter.com with all kinds of great info about Parker. The only complaint I have is the use of produce to relate the baby's size. The first email I thought is was cute but now after this list: Ear of Corn, Large Mango, Spaghetti Squash, Length of a Carrot, Length of a Banana, etc. I am wondering if this is some official baby measure. Is there a Baby Growth Index (or BGI) that relates fetal growth to these items? Maybe this dates back to our agrarian past when the school year was designed to allow for the kids to work the farm. Perhaps, but I wonder how familiar New Hampshire farmers were with Large Mangos. Just a theory.

Just In: New Stacey pics for week 24...

Parker continues to push her way to the front, I can actually see her move at times, Parker that is.

Ladies Who Lunch? or Too Much Food Network? Stacey and her girlfriends turn a simple morning into a must attend event complete with menu and place cards. They say presentation counts..

We may have to try for a boy next year just so we can build this room...uhm maybe not but Stacey said I might get the sheets for my birthday and the lamp for my desk for Christmas. If I'm good this year.

Week 23

Stacey is looking real happy. I fear her smile may grow so large she actually splits her head in two. So if Stacey is happy then so is the house.

This week Parker can listen to music so there has been lots of dancing in the house. It's very exciting picking out music for my daughter and of course the extra exercise isn't hurting the old man either.

Timeline update - August 8th 2008

While I dance Stacey and Parker watch. Stacey has also found a new past time...she dresses up a stuffed monkey to see what Parker's outfits will look like. I haven't decided if this really cute or really disturbing.

See you next week.........

Week 21

Now the stuff is rolling in. Plus we have picked up a few items ourselves. For now here's a peek into the wardrobe and toybox little Parker Jane will find waiting in December.

Monkeys and sweater vests and overalls...oh my!

Music themed baby wear. I am going to enjoy the short time I get to pick out clothes for her.

Ok, this is messed up. Here are the two volumes available from Amazon.com, the Dad book is black and white and really qualifies more as a pamphlet than a volume. Hmm. My work seems fairly straight forward.

Books and rattles and of course a monkey of her own.

We are all set for Daddy Daughter Day in Reggaeville!

End for this week...

We've picked her name and started planning for the big event. Stacey continues to shine as each week brings us closer to meeting Parker.

This is my page for collecting ideas, memories, and anything else that relates to our pregnancy. We got the news and the early consensus is it's a girl! This is an exciting time for us and hopefully the pictures and comments here will allow you to also share in the fun we are having. It may take me a while to wrap my head around raising a girl but Stacey and I are up for it. Stay tuned for more information and fun as we get ready to welcome Leftcoast royalty.

Update: Latest sonogram at 18 weeks and yes it's a girl.
