How to Tell if Your Child is the Dalai Lama

Check for these signs:

Large Ears

Long Eyes

Eyebrows curving up at the ends

Streaks on the legs

A mark the shape of a conch shell on the palm of one hand

The ability to distinquish articles belonging to the previous Dalai Lama, such as: spectacles, a silver pencil, an eating bowl, a black rosary, a yellow rosary, a walking stick, and a small ivory hand drum used in religious devotions

Congrats Mikey and Melissa!

Our baby brother is going to be a daddy!!
Mikey and Melissa just told us the wonderful news that they are expecting too! Melissa is about 5 or 6 weeks pregnant which means that our kids will be about 3 months apart in age. If you know Melissa, then you'll know that she is excited!!

Week 17 picture


It still might be difficult to tell from the pictures, but Jilly's belly is definitely getting rounder!

Now I'm off to make my own baby - 5 gallons of oatmeal stout! I've already decided that it's going to be a girl and she's due in about two and a half weeks. Weighing in at 8-9% ABV, she'll be a trouble maker for sure.

This is you're life... (at 17 weeks)

Week Seventeen
  • By week 17, your baby weighs about 4.97 ounces (140gm) and is 5.12 inches (13cm) long.
  • He or she has a much more normal "human" appearance now. She holds her head more erect and her body and limbs are longer in proportion to her head.
  • Pads are forming on his tiny fingertips and toes. Soon those individual swirls and whorls will be apparent.
  • Her eyes are looking forward now, but they are still firmly closed.
  • Meconium (composed of products of cell loss, digestive secretion and swallowed amniotic fluid), is accumulating in the bowel. This black gooey substance will become your baby's first poop!
  • The umbilical cord is growing thicker and stronger and continues to rush blood and nutrients to your growing baby.
  • If your child is male the prostate begins to develop.
  • Her skeleton is tranforming from cartilage to bone. The bones remain flexible to make the journey through the birth canal easier.
