Kerry and I are announcing the conception of Baby Kaiser Von Fechner. We started planning for a baby back in June when Kerry went off her birth control pills. We had hoped that we'd conceive while on our Hawaiian vacation in early July. I guess it took a little time for the pill to cycle out (I really don't know how that works) but about 10 or so weeks ago my Super Sperm got the job done and the stick turned blue. Supposedly, the new home pregnancy tests are a lot more accurate than they used to be but we still wanted official medical confirmation. By the way, Kerry did a nice job, too.
Confirmation came when went to the doctor last Saturday and an ultrasound was done. (See below) We saw little Kaiser and his little heart beat. That rocked! Everything looked good and Kerry was even given the green light by the doctor to run in the Chicago Marathon Sunday with the caveat to take it easy (an "easy" marathon?), keep hydrated and pay attention to her body during the race. Kerry did so and dropped out after running 12 miles. Right around the same time that the race officials decided to stop the race anyways.
Kerry has a strong feeling that the baby will be a boy. Hence, the "Kaiser" moniker. If the baby's a girl: Kaiserina? Kaiserette? Kaiseriti?
There's nothing like posting a picture of your wife's uterus on the internet, is there?

Hi Donovan and Kerry,
I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear your news.
As a still new parent myself, I can tell you what fun
it is to have this cute litte bundle that becomes more
amazing (and more challenging;-) each day.
You made a cute couple before but rest assured, as
soon as the baby comes, no one will pay attention to
you for the next 2 years!!! It will all be about
Little K.

I wonder if you will have better luck corrupting your own child than you have had corrupting mine! So funny.... Devan's little cousin won't yet be in kindergarten when he starts college! :-) Congratulations to you and Kerry! I will now have nieces (or nieces and a nephew) with an age range of 31 years! Gotta love the bizarre generation gaps in our family.... ;-)

That's the BEST picture I've actually ever seen. I've never seen a clear ultrasound picture... it's awesome.
BTW - - my money is that you're having a boy. Fits well with my theory.
That's fantastic news! Congratulations to the both of you!
