I've got some Tootin's on the way!

So sorry for the lack of updates.

In my last post I mentioned posting pictures of the last ultrasound, but my scanner has caught the winter flu, so it's out of commission until I fix it. Maybe I will post them, but then again, we've got another ultrasound next week, so I might just wait for those.

Since Katie has got two tootin's inside her, the doctors pay much closer attention to her via frequent checkups because her pregnancy is deemed "High Risk". It's not guaranteed risky, but the possibility is more likely. With all the checkups she has it sure makes you thankful for health insurance. I can't even imagine.

So yeah, the reason we haven't posted in a while is we have busy figuring out what furniture and stuff to buy, and cleaning the house, and doing a bunch of little projects that we've been putting off. What does this translate to? Katie hit it on the head today. We are nesting. Nesting? Yep, nesting. Unbelievable!

I thought the term nesting seemed so infinitely far from anything I've done in my life. Yes, Katie and I are overly annal in how clean why try to keep our house, but this type of nesting is different. I tried to think of the a time when I might have nested before in my life and the first memory that came to mind was this.

It was December of my senior year and many ND friends gathered at the local Senior Bar to create memories one last time before it closed. Ah yes, the night started out with $1.50 pitchers of beer, and then turned to $1.50 pitchers of rum and cokeee when the beer ran out. Eventually we all headed to Mothball's to hangout and I remember not feeling so well and visitng their bathroom. After my sickness left me, I remember becoming tired very quickly. "What should I use to rest thy head upon?" The only thing close enough was Animal's damp shower towel on floor. So, I wrapped it up and used it as a pillow. Nesting? Eh, probably not, but it was fun to remember.

So any way, what has consumated the past two weeks? Cribs, baby bedding, gliding chairs, deciding whether or not to head to New Orleans in 3 weeks, a Prince concert, and a bunch of other stuff.

What do these all share common? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Here is my proposition to however wants to win the presidency in '08. Establish a new law that requires everything that costs over $20 to only cost $20. For example, let's say you want to buy a vacuum. Cost? $20. Airplane ticket? $20. I know this concept is kind of foreign, but just follow me a little further. Want to buy vacation property in Hawaii? $20. Just think how sweet life would be and how unfrustrating it would be when you go to the ATM. When I go to the ATM I like to get a few Hamiltons to go with my Jacksons. With my ingenious idea, it'd be all about the Jacksons baby! Woooooho!

And yes B Puff, I did refer to our kids as little Tootins. Why? Because becoming a Dad makes your gaydar go crazy!

Two Three-Legged Monsters!

The verdict is in!

First and foremost, each of the babies is very healthy!! They are each approaching one pound in weight, which is right on and schedule and super awesome considering how sick Katie was at the beginning of the pregnancy.

They each have a healthy heart, well proportioned cranium, two arms, two eyes, and three legs.

Say what? How can a baby be healthy and have three legs?

They are healthy when that one leg is shorter than the other two........ but not too much shorter.

TWO BOYS!!!

Katie and I are thrilled to be having two gents!

This is super exciting for all the Vnak family as the family name would end if Katie and I did not have any male children. The pressure is double off and everybody is flying high.

I willl post pictures of the ultrasounds in the future once my Epson printer/scanner and I finish duking it out since he won't scan my pictures right.

The BIG News......

Is NO News. Apparently the same idyllic god who smote ND with Ty Willingham cursed the sonographer who was to perform our ultrasound into crashing her car on the way to work. The was result this treacherous occasion? A 5-7 season and delaying the ultrasound until Tuesday. So, the wait and eager nights continue.

For those of you who read this site and have not yet voted on your guess for the gender of our children, please do so before Tuesday. The winner will receive an autographed picture of the above mentioned villain. See you Tuesday.
