Matt + Lydia = ?

Matt and I woke up this morning and discussed what Fatty McGee might look like. Which of my traits it might get...which of Matt's traits it might get. Matt would like the baby to have a bit of his height and my "pretty." I wanted the baby to have Matt's hormone-stability and my awesomeness. The debate was civil, until the issue of eye color came about. Matt is adamant that the baby be blue-eyed like it's momma, while I would like a lil' brown-eyed version of perfection (like it's daddy).

I know you are all just as excited to meet Fatty McGee was we are. So, we thought we would treat you to a little preview.

What do you think? Let's play and make predictions about how lil' Fatty will turn out. Post your comments!

PS. It's should be pretty obvious from above photos, why little number three is referred to as "Fatty McGee." Not out of our own cruelty...I mean, we were both the chubby kids.

Update: "Fatty McGee" Pregnancy

Matt and I were trying to figure out how we should reference baby numero tres. I was going for some sort of multilingual take on the number three...Matt has decided on "Fatty McGee."

I went to the doctor Thursday. I was immediately put on progesterone to help me through the first trimester and the decision was made to run a few tests. One in particular concerns my thyroid. My thyroid is healthy; however in some instances, a healthy thyroid can send out antibodies which in essence attack your body (including babies). I should hear back about this one in 5-7 days. The good news is that it is highly treatable. We'll see.

In other news: "Fatty McGhee" has the weirdest cravings. Baby # 1 didn't do the craving thing...Baby # 2 LOVED sweets...Fatty McGee is a person all it's own. Last night, it wanted a steak covered in nacho cheese followed by Nathan's hot dog. This morning (I sadly admit), it was treated to a Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McMuffin...heaven.

I'll blog more when we know more...or come up with more ridiculous stories about our baby.
