A practical matter

November 5th, 2008 · by map · 36 Comments

Leah insists that her current wardrobe is no longer adequate to effectively conceal the action going on in her belly, so, in lieu of an entirely new wardrobe, I give you “Palmberg/Klevar Child #2:”

kid2

Mark your calendars: May 28

I wonder how difficult it is to run two blogs off the same virtual domain. We can’t very well have the new kid going through life blogless, now, can we?

    And you announced on such an auspicious day, too! Congratulations. We’ve never met you guys, but we love you, and little Barack Klevar/Palmberg, too. ;)

    Thanks, Danny (and fam). It’s all still a bit early for my liking, but we’ll see what happens. There’s a strong little heartbeat at our last checkup, so that’s something.

    Leah’s already turned down Bo (Barack Obama) as a boy name. I’ll keep thinking.

    Yeah! Leah recently stopped complaining about the two pounds she gained with Ava, so I was suspicious! It’s an exciting time and I bet baby #2 will blend nicely into your current blog, um, I mean family.

    I should re-word that…the two pounds she wanted to lose from the overall weight gain with Ava. Does that sound right, you know what I mean….Ugh.

    Thanks for the well wishes.

    I think you should all be especially thankful that I’ve refrained from making the “long time coming” joke/double entendre I’ve had waiting in the wings for just this occasion. You’re welcome.

    Am very happy for you… Now Ava will have someone better to blame than Daddy.

    WHOOO HOOOO – this day rocks! Hey, by the way, my belly kicks the ass of Leah’s belly. Proved that last night. I guess that’s what 41 weeks can do for a person :~)

    Thanks. Thanks. And thanks. We still have tests on the horizon, but we’re hoping for the best; Leah’s not as young as she used to be! And while Leah was on egg-strengthenin’ drugs at the time of the conception, we don’t know whether it was an IUI session or good ol’ fashioned elbow grease and American ingenuity that was responsible for the actual insemination. And here’s to never finding out for sure….

    Oh yeah – Dawn really does kick your arse.

    As I said over on Flickr, really I didn’t think this day could get any better. It would take a lot – and this is A LOT!!!

    Yeah for you both and I couldn’t be happier.
