We realized we hadn't posted here yet, and the word is getting out. We're expecting a second baby in early November, a.k.a Floyd. The first ultrasound is scheduled for April 20, when we'll get an exact due date and have more info on where the birth may occur. The plan right now is to have the baby here (way easier, logistically) unless something pops up and we feel returning to the US is preferable / safer. We have until September to make that decision.
As of now, Floyd is pretty much doing its own thing and hasn't really made its presence known except for two things: (1) Pam can no longer drink non-UHT milk (i.e., the milk we get delivered in packets - boxed milk is OK) without getting an upset stomach. The guess is that there's a higher lactic acid content in the packet milk (its unhomogenized, but is pasteurized). (2) Pam is starting to have to cull her wardrobe for a slightly thicker waistline. Each week a new skirt or pair of pants gets the kaibash.
Stay tuned for ultrasound results and notes on how being pregnant here differs from DC. It will be a cutural experience all unto itself, for sure.

Floyd is great. I was Mitzie before I was born, and Beth was Elmo. Laura was just Baby - I guess Mom ran out of creative names.

I was going to warn you that the size change happened faster after the first but figured you would learn that on your own soon enough. I still don't quite get the milk thing.
Greg was MacAdoo.
Congratulations! I may be able to get you a ob-gyn recommendation through a friends sister who practices further nw than you are. Let me know ifyou're interested. Stay healthy!
Congrats! (Sorry I missed the news.....I was in the land of 1.3 billion people....)
