Recently, Joelle and I have begun to think that for our friends and relatives, getting pregnant (and having children) is a bit contagious – it must be something in the water as we all approach or hit the magic age of 30. This past week, in fact, we’ve had dinner with 3 different friends who are either expecting imminently and/or have a one-year old. It’s pretty amazing to watch how people’s lives change overnight.

And in fact – we’re going through it too! Joelle is around 15 weeks pregnant, and we couldn’t be more excited :) We’re going to be parents come mid-April 2009, or so the estimated due date tells us :) – It’s been really hard for her to stop me from blogging until now – I’ve had to resign myself to reading lots of books on the subject :)

So far, thankfully, everything looks healthy and good, and we’ve already started to bond with Little Hobey (as Joelle said – it’s going to be an Averbuch for the rest of it’s life, so for now, it’s a Hoberman!), though from what we read in the various pregnancy books – he/she can’t quite hear yet, and it’s a bit too early for us to feel any movements – that should be coming in the next few weeks.  But there’s something magical seeing the ultrasound pictures (which we’ve been lucky enough to have seen twice now – the pics below are from 12 weeks) – I just want to hug and take care of the little person – especially how cute it is in the picture below with the feet up in the air.
