30/10

This is a sequel to 20/20, a previous post that has been tracking the growth of my pregnant belly.  We're 30 weeks down now, with an estimated 10 to go.  We're guessing it will be a girl.
Although the medical community predicts Jan 11th, George and I chose our own due dates with no good reasoning involved.  I decided on January 6th, and George chose December 25th.  This means that if the baby comes on Dec 31st, we're tied.  Any day after that, and I win our bet.  If I lose, I have to watch the 2005-2012 batman trilogy at home with George (see the dark wife rises).  If I win, however, George has to find a sitter and take me to the live show of Igudesman and Joo, which is playing here in Austin on January 21st.  Of course, for all we know, we'll be giving kisses to a sweet little boy in a sterile hospital room that day.  [Editor's note: this is exactly what happened.]

There wasn't much progress in weight or height this week because baby Einstein was too busy putting grooves on what used to be a smooth brain.  Gross.

McKenna weighed in at over 3 pounds and reached the height of one of those creepy overpriced American girl dolls (18").  McKenna is the American girl doll of the year, whatever that means.
