You who know us well thought sure we'd pick another cracker when we got pregnant again, something like Ritz or Graham or Cheezit. But, alas, this time around we have a beautiful, smart, wonderful, amazing daughter who did the naming for us.
So, allow me to introduce that ten week bulge in my belly. That one's name is Pondegore.
That name is all Alla's creation.
And she's pretty protective, too. Like today when we went to the doctor again and the midwife whipped out the doppler and Alla said, What are you doing? And then proceeded to lay on my belly while the kind midwife searched for Pondegore's racing heartbeat.
Perhaps the laying helped. It was 180 beats per minute.
So, since we Killins' are not finder-outers, let the guessing begin. Girl or boy?

I TOTALLY KNEW IT. I am feeling so smug, because for the last month or so I've been thinking... "that J.J.... I just know she's pregnant. I wonder when she'll tell?" Hee hee. It was the new car that gave it away. Congratulations to all of you!! You look terrific.
And guess what? I'm 2/2 today on my correct guessing abilities. ; )
So I think the old wives tale, says a fast heart beat means you're having a girl...or maybe "he" is just really active and doesn't want to hold still already! Just 30 weeks left until we know! Congratulations! (-:
Definitely girl.
Congrats again, friend!
I was wondering when you were letting the cat out of the bag!
How about a ... boy. I'll wish you one anyway!
Love you, friend! Many good wishes during your pregnancy.
I was wondering too when you were going to tell. I hope you are feeling well. I guessed a boy with Alla but you look different this time around so I am going to go with a boy again. Where did Alla come up with that name?
Guys!!!! We are so happy for you!!! I will call soon. I only hope it is a boy so Sebi can beat him up like I did Ron.
Congrats! You look great! I'm guessing a sister for Alla.
LOL! Surprise, surprise. Congrats to you and the family on increasing the number in the family unit. You're great at making kiddos (could Alla be any more precious???! I'm guessing boy.
Yeah. .Congrats.. I didn't want to know the sex of mine either but now I can't help it. I am going to guess a boy also, so adorable.
Congratulations!
I think it's a girl!! Sisters are the BEST!! YOU LOOK DARLING! you popped quick! we need a comparison to when alla was in the belly:)
So exciting!
Congratulations J.J.! You look great, and I'm crazy about Pondegore. :D
WOW, so round that Pondegore is. I'm thinking maybe that fast heartbeat might be 2 heartbeats and Pondegore is Pondegore(s);) So, my official guess is a girl and a boy, so Ron can have his boy and Alla can have her sister, and you, well you get 4 times the love from all of them. CONGRATS!
congrats!!! i just checked back in with your blog after being gone for the weekend... SOOO EXCITING!!!
it's a boy, i just know it! i called alla, and now i'm calling pondegore! lol. p.s.- although i love alla's creativity, please don't let her give pondegore it's real name i'll end up with a nephew named "Kunger" or something ;)lol. miss you all!

I'm guessing... a baby! (I don't find out either, love the surprise of it all).
