Tomorrow we (hopefully) will find out the sex and/or gender of the baby!
Mary’s having the mack-daddy ultrasound, so unless the tech is an idiot, surely to God we’ll find out. More important is finding out that the little one is safe and healthy and well.
Hold good thoughts for us, and check back tomorrow for the news!

It’s a whole new day at Both Hands and a Flashlight!
Mary and I are overjoyed to announce that I am not pregnant! Phew. However, Mary is!!!!!!!!!
Yep, that was a bun in the oven. Mary has a hysterical story to tell about that, at my expense of course. But I’m a good sport about it.
It’s amazing how much a single word on a high-tech, digital, ‘dummy-proof’, peed-on stick can change everything, even when you’re hoping for it. However, for me, finding out the positive test involved a hot dog bun. There is a LOT we haven’t blogged about over the past month as we waited for the right time to spring the good tidings on the world. We have much ground to cover there, and we’ll get to all the news recap soon.
Officially, Mary is 10 weeks along and is due in early May. After J-Man was The World’s Easiest Pregnancy (TM), according to Mary, she has lots of new, choice, family-unfriendly words to say about this time around. More from her on that to come, too.
I figured why not celebrate such a life-changing announcement by completely redoing the look and layout of the blog. I picked something sorta autumnal for the color scheme, so this blog may have mood colors for a while until we settle on something we like.
I also wanted to do something to keep the quality of the site ever-improving for the growing numbers of visitors, both those of you who have been so nice, insightful, and supportive of us as well as those who just lurk (which is fine!). At the top of the page, you’ll see a tab that takes you to a collection of links and resources related to all the things we talk about here in the Flashlight Universe. Go check out those links! We have much more to add, but it’s a start.
We also have lots more new stuff planned, so stay tuned. As the wise man said, “Business is about to pick up.” More soon!
Just for fun, we’ll leave you with what I think may be the best commercial ever.

Boy do we have all sorts of crazy excitement about to land on our blog soon. There’s a blog redesign, new links and resources pages, a couple of what I think are exciting product reviews (working on some freebies and discounts for readers too), more about autism and presidential candidates than you probably care to read, some explanation of why we’ve been posting a bit less frequently lately, me running in and doing a photo diary of a 5K autism fundraiser in a yet-to-be-designed ridiculous costume, and…
[Cue dramatic music - dun, dun, dun!]
… a twist that will change this blog forever.
I may be known as Captain Hyperbole (it’s at least a billion trillion times worse than I thought!), but in this case, I’m not exaggerating one bit.
Stay tuned!
