Get your KICKS... en route to Highway 6...

Guess who's going to be a skier? 18 weeks and Corgan expressed ultimate excitement with 2 little kicks while on the way to go skiing at Loveland. That was the second time that mom felt the little pops - the night before a very satisfied eater gave a welcoming kick on the way from dinner to the movies, in addition to an approving kick for Slumdog Millionaire.

Corgan is an onion

Our sweet little onion. We can't believe that Corgan is growing so rapidly. Hearing the heartbeat brings tears of joy - and relief - each time. Can't wait to meet the little tear-jerker!

Pop! Goes the belly...

No one seemed to know she was pregnant - at least not by immediate appearances, but Fiona knew. And didn't like it one bit. How dare someone take her spot as queen of Castle Sowa? But then it happened - subtle at first, and over the holidays, a belly just "popped!" 16 weeks & counting.

When can you really tell Reagan is pregnant?
At the gym, when the belly hangs out in the now-too-tight workout clothes.
When Reagan is trying to zip up her favorite pair of jeans.
A side glance at the profile - not so flat a surface anymore.
Any social occasion when a glass of wine is turned down.

Fiona knew from the moment of conception, however, and has been trying to sabotage the whole thing since. Her nightly rituals include sitting on Reagan's belly and needing the heck out of her uterus. She won't even look Reagan in the eye anymore - that's how disgusted she is.

Corey finds out: An AT&T's cell phone real life commercial...

Corey was hunting over Reagan's Fall break (a small point of contention) when Reagan found out she was pregnant. But, as promised, Corey called on that Sunday afternoon, from a cell phone atop a peak in the middle of nowhere to say hello (and inform the worried wifey that all was going well.) The conversation went something like this:

Reagan: Well, next year you're definitely not going hunting over my fall break.
Corey: Why?
Reagan: Because you'll be home with the baby and me.
Corey: Nuh-uh.
Reagan: Yup! I'm pregnant!
Corey: ----
Reagan: Corey? Are you still there? Hello?
Corey: ----
(Reagan hangs up the phone, wondering if Corey knew that his wife was pregnant.)

Fortunately, Corey did call back, and through approximately 7 disconnected phone calls, determined that his wife, was indeed pregnant, congratulated her, and said "I love you." He didn't cry, however, because he had to save face in front of his 4 hunting buddies.
