Kaiser Takes to the Streets

Kaiser on the Go!

ANNOUNCING: KAISER VON FECHNER!!!

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?
