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.
