Introducing...
filed under: DadditudesMax knew we were pregnant before we told him. Which was weird. Last time (nicknamed "Baby 2.0") we told him as soon as we knew - and then when we lost that pregnancy we had to explain to a 3 1/2 year old why there was no longer "a baby in Mommy's belly." Yeah. I don't recommend it. Though, actually, Max took it better than we did. So this time we waited until the first OB visit.
But a week beforehand, out of nowhere, he starts talking about "Baby Vou."
"Who's that?" asks Mommy, looking at me funny.
"My baby," says Max confidently.
"Um..." says me, "where is 'Baby Vou,' buddy?"
"In Mommy's belly."
Mommy and Daddy look at each other with Twilight Zone music playing in their neurons.
We're not sure where the name Baby Vou came from, or even how to spell it properly (I say "Vou," Mommy says "Voo," Max insists it's just "V.O." which I'm pretty sure would be pronounced "Voh"). But the nickname stuck, supplanting the somewhat chilling "Baby 2.1"
We went for the 20 week sono today, and sure enough, Tolan men only shoot Y's. Baby Vou is set to be Max's baby brother, some time around leap day (come on, February 29!)

Oy! No pictures!

as a person who believes in the right to life as much as the right to privacy, I have to express my disdain at such invasive photos. But I also support the freedom of information act and the public's right to know, so I'm torn. should I call the ACLU? or since this is a little naked boy, should I call NAMBLA?
Why is the internet legal?

OMG! Congrats, Tolans! And welcome, Vou.
