Boy!

Well, according to my 18-week ultrasound, anyway! Liam Markus Cook is looking perfectly healthy and acting quite the fireball. I guess he's going to be "Mini Manny!" Mini Minnie, age 9, is very excited, as are Mr. Minnie and myself.

Initially they thought I was 17 1/2 weeks along, but now they're saying 18 1/2 weeks, so I guess Liam's ETA is mid-March now... But only the shadow knows...

PS/ 8-) Think blue. 8-)

That is great news! Did you get a picture of the ultrasound print out? It's pretty amazing what all is going on in there.

I am really sick and tired of you people making all that fuss about games that have not yet been published. We at least have to give the demo a test run--we still have to see how the gameplay fares! It is not as if you can see that the game is good from one simple screenshot! Hah! I remember that first Escape from Monkey Island shot that was leaked and we were all, like, 'this is gonna be so cool,' and then...

What?

Whaddayamean?!!?11interrobang

Er...

Uh...

Yeah...

Well...

Hey, thanks all!

Having been kicked this morning since 5 AM , I finally decided get up.

Kingz, I think this is the most interactive demo I've ever experienced.

Yes, Laura, we did get a slew of ultrasound pics (they even took some extras for my daughter and husband), but I didn't want to freak out the younger viewers here so I didn't post any. Some people get thrown for a loop with that sorta thing...
