I think the blog is a hit! We love all the comments, advice, and name suggestions (???). OK, let’s address this picture before we go any further. Saturday Trav and I attended a fundraiser called the Big Wig. I know some of you thought Trav grew his mullet out again, but no, it’s just a wig! (Feel free to comment on your memories of his long luscious locks.). Will Cletus have red hair? Who knows. There’s an awful lot of that Cherokee Indian blood on the Cook side.

You guys have a lot of opinions about potential names! We decided to put together a survey of the contenders. Vote away!

Now that we are parents to be, we understand the importance of forcing our stories and pictures of the most fantabulous child in the world on everyone. We might talk about ourselves occasionally too. Since we both reject the popular social networking outlets, Travis (being Travis) came up with a solution – a blog! So here we are – entry #1 – welcome!

The baby (aka Cletus, Mortimer, Little Travy) is due 10/10/10. Cool birthday if we can pull it off! Despite what the nicknames imply, we don’t know the sex yet, but we will soon: May 17th. Let the betting begin!

Here are the most recent ultrasound pics from April 5th.  He was quite active – rolling around, hiccupping, sticking his tongue out and generally being uncooperative. Already a trouble maker! My fav picture is the one with his arm above his head – he kinda looks like Mr. Potato Head!

Feel free to leave a comment and check back often for updates!
