From wifey's account with Fertility Friends Prego Site 15 weeks brings the following:
"Fine hair called lanugo covers your baby, who now measures about 4.3 to 4.6 inches (10.8 to 11.6cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 2.8 ounces (80g).
Fingernails are well formed and the arms and legs may be seen moving on an ultrasound. Your baby already has his own unique fingerprint pattern!
Your baby can hold his head erect and he can also make faces with his slightly developed facial muscles. Your baby may practice squinting, frowning and opening and closing his mouth.
Your baby's bones have enough calcium deposits to show on an X-ray. If your baby is female, her ovaries will be in place in her pelvis and more than five million ova (some of which may be fertilized to become your own grandchildren in another generation!) have formed."

Twins
In two days my wife, Ashley, will be fifteen weeks pregnant with our twins!
I am rapidly finding out how inexperienced I am with one baby, save two! Please feel free to comment below and sign up for some babysitting time. I don't know how we are going to make it.
We are very blessed as well as excited. In a couple of more weeks our doc is going to try and guess the sex of the babies and at the end of May we will have our specialist appointment.
Wife is thinking cloth diapers. I think I am coming around to the idea. Diapers for twins would cost 1600 USD a year!! YIKES! What do you guys think about cloth diapers? Comment below.
We are also looking for good suggestions on where to find baby furniture. We are thinking about making a run to Houston soon to a Baby Depot.
Below is a video of the babies from our March 15th appointment with the Ultrasound Tech! Click Here for a link to YouTube.

Toys That I Want
Everyone wants toys. Well here are some of the toys that I want.
The Microsoft Courier is mostly what I believe to be vaporware, but the videos that you can find at Engadget are really enticing. Albeit borderline impossible for the current technology that is available today. The real challenge will be making the MS Courier run as smooth as it does in the demonstration videos. AND yes I do realize that the videos are more of a graphical presentation of what the device could do, not the actual device being used.
That device would help out innumerably in the work place. The ability to have an infinite journal is mind numbing; however, companies are going to have to disable the internet infinite journal and go with the intranet infinite journal for all of those intellectual property needs.
The HP Slate. This is more realistic than the mythical unicorn listed above. A couple of concerns though. I am afraid that the HP Slate won't be any more powerful than my Acer Aspire One Netbook. I am also afraid that the touch responsiveness will be laking-don't get me wrong, I am thinking about buying alotta HP stock very soon. While the potential for this device to be sluggish and unresponsive there are much more saving qualities to be had from a device such as this. I'd love to turn the HP Slate into a company computer that I can install a program to look at plant data on as well as be able to carry it with me much more portably than a laptop at the plant. And then there is Flash.
IPAD. No Flash =( But those things are sexy. A multi-media capable device sounds very enticing, but the price is just not feasible especially when I can get the functionality out of the HP Slate that should be arriving any day now.
ShowWX. I have been talking up this company for the past three years. Hoping and wishing that their technology would make it into a cell phone. The technology in that device is simply amazing. Check out PicoP projection with the lasers and the mirrors. That is some neato stuff. A bit pricey though. Not very encouraging. Will have to wait for some time before I am able to get my hands on one of those.
Last but not least - A powerful pc. I have been writing a game and have been collecting data for my game for almost a year now. I bought an Intous 4 pen tablet; to my dismay I don't have a PC strong enough to be able to use the device with an art program ;( And then there is that slight drawing ability that I need to jump the hurdle on.
The Daily Purge
Dear Blog,
Today I woke up at 5:30 A. M. and took a shower. I took a long shower in the dark. The kind where you lay down in the shower and let the water hit your head until you finally gain enough consciousness to get up and get ready for work. I finally make my way out of the shower and get dressed and out the door at 6:30 A. M.
I make it to work at 6:45 A. M. Pull up my data on the unit and begin taking in all the information I can for my morning meetings for the unit I have responsibilities in.
At lunch I went with some work compadres to take my rented garden tiller back to the U-Rent-All.
I got back home around 5:00 P. M. and chilled out with the wife. Wifey was cleaning up the bedroom. We made soup, grilled cheese, and popcorn for supper. I had rocky road ice cream for dessert. We watched a Dead Like Me episode. The one where the Reapers are filing paper work because the Gravelings are on vacation. And then it was time for House.
Sincerely,
J. D. Parden
