no, not sparklet — that’d be mommy, with the belly sticking out behind her. we’re about 13 weeks in and, if we’re honest, we haven’t been able to hide the baby in mommy’s belly since about week eight.

sparklet doesn’t have a clue what’s in store for her quite yet, and each time mommy tries to explain the baby bump, sparklet lifts up her dress to show us that she’s got a belly, too.

here’s the pregnancy so far:

• we’re due in the first half of April, which conveniently puts it right on top of my birthday.
• pregnancy always seems to come with a to-do list.
• we have a sonogram. actually, we have two.
• who’s that pregnant lady looming behind those kids at the smithsonian?

obviously, it’s still a bit early for a gender — that’ll come in about a month, assuming God doesn’t smite my wife for insisting that she already knows it’s going to be a girl.
