Maybe they hadn't come out with the [RoutanBabymaker3000](http://www.vw.com/vwhype/babymaker/en/us/) at that point, but yesterday I [came across it](http://www.noodad.com/wp/doodads/lets-make-a-baby-for-german-engineering#more-831) on this really awesome dad blog I occasionally read called "[Noodad](http://noodad.com/)." Basically, the RoutanBabymaker3000 allows you to "make a baby without actually 'making' a baby." > *Have a Routan baby with a loved one or a person you hardly even know.� Just find the right mate, and make a baby so adorable you just can't help but love.* I took the liberty of making a Routan baby with James to determine what Baby Lump might look like.� It should be interesting to see if our real baby bears a resemblance to his/her Routan baby counterpart, which looks to be a boy.� (And I'm hoping we'll find out fairly soon ...)

So basically, there's this site called [ManBabies.com](http://manbabies.com).� It takes normal pictures of father-son interactions and superimposes their heads on each other's body.� Case in point: [caption id="attachment_388" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="ManBabies Pool Time"][![ManBabies Pool Time](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/manbabies.jpg "manbabies")](http://manbabies.com/content/253)[/caption] Creepy, right?� How about this one ...

As for Baby Lump, my last doctor appointment revealed that my baby bump is measuring slightly smaller than it should be for 33 weeks gestation (See, It's *not* just me being paranoid that I seem small!).� Based on my too-small belly, our doctor scheduled an ultrasound for this Monday.� A little worrisome to me, but on the bright side, we get more fetal baby pictures! And there's no need for James and I to avert our eyes; apparently it's not possible for the untrained eye to tell the baby's sex, even this far along.� Another cool thing is we'll probably be able to find out the exact weight of Baby Lump, along with [his/her position](http://www.epigee.org/health/birth.html) in the womb.� Hopefully his/her head is starting to point downward to make for an easy landing. **Oven Timer: **33 weeks, 2 days [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219583/Let-s-All-Hope-and-Pray-I-Don-t-Give-Birth-to-a-ManBaby) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [Internet Fun](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/internet-fun), [Bizarre](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bizarre), [ManBabies](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/manbabies), [ultrasound](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/ultrasound), [baby bump](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/baby-bump), [baby presentation](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/baby-presentation), [33 weeks](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/33-weeks), [belly](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/belly) ## [Politically Inspired Baby Names: New Trend?](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219590/Politically-Inspired-Baby-Names-New-Trend) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Oct 29, 2008 10:02:32 AM Here's something fun for you to chew on in honor of the upcoming election.� After I posted my call for help in naming Baby Lump last week, one of my twitter pals, @[petertdavis](http://twitter.com/petertdavis) made me promise I wouldn't do something like this ... [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1lM5JLN1hI&hl=en&fs=1] Can you believe that guy?� What a nimrod!� Let me tell you, if James ever pulled a stunt like that, he'd get a lot more than two weeks in the doghouse.� Let's see, which name would you give *your *child - Sarah McCain-Palin or Ava Grace? By the way, I think I've come up with a pretty good boy name for Baby Lump - how about Joe Obama-Biden? In other news, yesterday I hit a pretty big milestone, at least from my point of view.� It was the first time a person gave up his seat on the T for me on account of my preggo belly.� Hooray, baby bump!� It's definitely becoming more substantial.� Have you seen [this week's pic](http://www.flickr.com/photos/29055294@N03/2985119070/) compared to [last week's](http://www.flickr.com/photos/29055294@N03/2965188697/)?� There's definitely a noticeable difference. So I'm coming up on week 30 - can you believe it?� It's getting so close!� Baby Lump should now be using all five of his/her senses, his/her toenails are fully formed, and Lump's noggin is pretty much in proportion to the rest of his/her body.� Baby Lump measures between 15 and 16 inches (think [a loaf of bread](http://3dpregnancy.parentsconnect.com/calendar/29-weeks-pregnant.html)) and weighs between 3 and 4 pounds ([think a Macbook Air](http://3dpregnancy.parentsconnect.com/calendar/29-weeks-pregnant.html)). My Little Lump also seems to be a lot more active lately, as if to say "LET ME OUT!"� Apparently, that's because of all the energizing fat he/she has been developing.� In fact, if Lump were born sometime this week, he/she would have a 9 out of 10 chance of survival.� Still, I think we'll keep him/her in there to bake a little while longer ... **Oven Timer: **29 weeks, 2 days [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219590/Politically-Inspired-Baby-Names-New-Trend) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [video](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/video), [Bizarre](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bizarre), [baby bump](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/baby-bump), [political baby names](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/political-baby-names), [week 29](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/week-29) ## [Martha Stewart Food-Baby Costumes: FAIL!](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219595/Martha-Stewart-Food-Baby-Costumes-FAIL) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Oct 7, 2008 12:56:14 PM Okay - what is with the world's fetish with the babies-as-food thing?� This is even worse than the [baby shower Cake Wrecks](http://littlebabylump.com/2008/08/15/creepy-pregnant-cake-wrecks/) because now, actual humans are involved.� Seriously, this makes me want to stop sharing those food analogies the sites I read use to describe my baby's growing size.� Baby Lump is getting too big to be compared to single servings of food anyway, unless I'm planning on chowing down on a whole meatloaf or something.� Have a look, and see what I mean .... [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-wj6ppCYM8&hl=en&fs=1] My friend, [Yianni](http://twitter.com/yiannig/statuses/950227490) is right - [Martha](http://www.marthastewart.com/affiliateinfo) should go back to jail for this one.� Those poor babies.� These are the cruelest baby costumes ever!� There's no way Baby Lump's first Halloween will be spent as a lemon meringue pie or a boiled and plated lobster.� That apple pie baby looks like she's in a food coma.� No wonder "Caesar salad baby" doesn't want to cooperate ... In weekly updates, Baby Lump now weighs two full pounds and measures about 14 inches long (as long as he/she isn't gearing up to be a [Paul Bunyan-type baby](http://littlebabylump.com/2008/10/01/little-baby-lump-the-next-paul-bunyan/)).� He/she has also started working on that birthday hairdo and should be growing some cute little baby fuzz by now. According to many Web sites, this week marks the last week in my second trimester, so apparently I'm about two-thirds of the way there.� Third trimester, here I come! **Oven Timer: **26 weeks, 1 day [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219595/Martha-Stewart-Food-Baby-Costumes-FAIL) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [video](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/video), [Halloween](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/halloween), [Internet Fun](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/internet-fun), [Bizarre](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bizarre), [Media](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/media), [little baby lump](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/little-baby-lump), [food](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/food), [baby costumes](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/baby-costumes), [26 weeks](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/26-weeks) [Previous](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bizarre/page/1) [All posts](https://www.littlebabylump.com/all) [Next](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bizarre/page/3) Search ### Subscribe by Email ### [![rss](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/hub/188884/file-313297286.png?width=34&height=36&name=file-313297286.png)](http://littlebabylump.com/rss.xml)   RSS Feed ### Recent Posts ### Popular Posts ### Posts by Month - [January 2014 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2014/01) - [December 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/12) - [November 2013 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/11) - [October 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/10) - [September 2013 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/09) - [January 2011 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2011/01) - [November 2010 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/11) - [October 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/10) - [September 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/09) - [August 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/08) - [July 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/07) - [June 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/06) - [May 2010 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/05) - [April 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/04) - [March 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/03) - [February 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/02) - [January 2010 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/01) - [December 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/12) - [November 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/11) - [October 2009 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/10) - [September 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/09) - [August 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/08) - [July 2009 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/07) - [June 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/06) - [May 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/05) - [April 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/04) - [March 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/03) - [February 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/02) - [January 2009 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/01) - [December 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/12) - [November 2008 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/11) - [October 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/10) - [September 2008 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/09) - [August 2008 (10)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/08) - [July 2008 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/07) [See All](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bizarre/page/2#)
