First sonogram

Welcome to the internet, Hartzell Twins!

Someday, when you're putting together your college applications, you'll hire a private detective to scour the internet for all the stupid pictures of you floating around cyberspace, and come across this. This is you at 7 weeks, when you were working on growing your heart and lungs and something called "limb buds." I'm going to go ahead and assume you eventually grew whole limbs. I guess we'll find out at your next sonogram in a couple months.

Virtual Baby Shower folks: Now that you've seen a picture, you can make a much more informed decision in the Baby Gender Poll. Get your votes in!

Next week we'll put up a new poll or game, so get excited. 

Welcome to the Virtual Baby Shower!

As you may or may not have heard, Mattine is pregnant!  With TWINS!!  (That's Latin for "two babies at the same time.")

Two babies means double everything: cribs, strollers, diapers, bottles, motorcycles, onesies, diapers, play mats, bouncy castles, and diapers.  What I hear about babies is that they poop. Luckily Mattine is up for cloth diapering, so feel free to buy her about a metric ton of those here.

You should soon receive / have received a super cute baby announcement with a "save the date" for the in-person shower. If you're in the Glen Burnie / Baltimore / Washington / Philadelphia / North American general region, you are very much encouraged to attend.  There will probably be disgusting poop-based games and cucumber sandwiches.  Or vice versa.

But, if you are currently visiting the moon or otherwise unable to attend in person, keep checking in here for an ongoing virtual baby shower.  There will be games, polls (like the poll at the bottom of the page), quizzes, and prizes. We might even set up a Twitter account to document Mattine's growing belly, live tweet the in-person shower, and a third thing to end this list because lists need at least three things.

Thanks for checking in, and come back again soon!
