Here’s video of my little Princess Buttercup:
I’m now thinking of naming her “Peanut Buttercup Fleming”, but once again SarahK hates goodness and happiness.
In some ways, I feel I’ve already failed her. She’ll be coming into a world without flying cars, without dinosaurs with rocket launchers protecting us, and without the moon being nuked. Then again, I came into this world after the moon landing and that kinda sucked because what interesting things did we have left to do? Well, after Obama, one of the fun things Princess Buttercup will have to do is rebuild civilization.
Flying will be tough for her with a name like that, because many airlines now refuse to serve peanuts on a plane.
Perhaps restocking “Nuke The Moon” T-shirts is the answer. Get the word out. Maybe there’s a lot of folks out there who have no idea what nuking the moon could do for us and would appreciate being told about the benefits…for the children.
I’d feel better about giant robots with lasers than dinosaurs with rocket launchers. Robots can be programmed, dinosaurs, especially the Velociraptors and T-Rex types are big into stomping up and down the countryside chomping on people and livestock and such. Didn’t anybody see Jurassic Park?
Throw in rocket launchers and you’ve got an unmanagable situation.
As if Laser wielding giant robots aren’t prone to destruction.
you kids these days have it so good! My youngest is 9 and we didn’t have those rockin’ 3-D ultrasounds in my day! Absolutely beautiful 🙂
And please don’t name her peanut…what if she ends up being a 5’10” super model?
Super models with rocket launchers and lasers would be a future I could live with.
“Super models with rocket launchers and lasers would be a future I could live with.”
Same here. Way better than robots or dinosaurs for sure.
If Obama was really into equality, he’d make sure we all had super model girlfriends or wives with lasers and rocket launchers. Nothing like a babe who can smite your enemies.
congrats!!!!! we named ours ( who is going to be 4yrs old next month) Speck, coz that’s all she was when we laid eyes on her fir the first time back when i was 8 weeks pregnant. And to this day we call her Speck.
Who knows what she’ll be – but I think Lieutenant General Princess Buttercup “Blood & Guts” Fleming has a certain ring to it.
Congratulations!
I still feel you should name her Frnak.
The mother of a new civilization? Is the mommy Sarah Konner Fleming?
“The Peanuts were the name of the Japanese twin sisters in the early Mothra movies. Maybe it’s twins. Ultrasound could be off due to global warming and all. It’s Science!.
First sonogram from our first child prompted the nickname, “Peanut Baby,” then the second sonogram changed it to “Baby Skeletor.”
Now she’s a beautiful blonde who enjoys peanut butter but has never seen a He-Man cartoon.
How precious! God bless you all!
I feel someone should say it: Princess Buttercup is fully alive right now and of obvious great value to her parents and adoring admirers. All that nonsense about timelines for determining whether an abortion on demand is allowed or not is utterly destroyed when you see the Princess in action.
Psalm 139:13-14
Dude. You are making me cry with this sappy-ness. Knock it off.
Pretty baby…
BTW – If Sarah K hasn’t already trained you in the art of Bathroom Civility, then you might want to consider getting into the habit of lowering the lid (ifyouknowwhatImean).
Good point, KnitterChick. Not only should always make sure he leaves the toilet seat down for Sarah, he needs to make sure she’s guarded 24/7 by loyal robots with lasers. Nothing’s too good for Sarah and Buttercup.
Ahhh, they are so cute at that age!!
Looks like a big blur to me
Hey, I did a slow motion study of the ultrasound and I could swear I saw her mouth move! She was saying “Daddy, Daddy, I want Nuke The Moon and Fred Thompson Punch The Hippies shirts too! So be a nice daddy and give Uncle Marko and Uncle P.I. their shirts. Make me a bib of each too, please?”
Now how could you say no to that precious child?
Hey! I went back and slowed the video down a couple of times and you’re right–SHE IS SAYING THAT! Adorable!
I was thinking that instead of Frank and SarahK handing out cigars, they should hand out Nuke the Moon Ts. Who’s with me?
You haven’t failed her at all, she’ll be born in the United States, at this exciting time when we are presided over be by Black Jesus
Congrats to you and your lovely wife Frank. I can truthfully say (in all honesty, no sarcasm really) that giving birth to and raising six beautiful children and seeing them become upright, outstanding citizens has been the BEST thing I ever did.
The absolute best thing. Ever.
Little Princess Buttercup seemed to be shaking her head “No!” at the end there.
That’s so cute!
Absolutely Awesome!
May I suggest buying a adult size armored vest, when they are newborn you can wrap it right around the car seat. Yeah …..you laugh now….. you’ll want one as soon as they let you leave the hospital with her. Enjoy Frank & Sarah.. enjoy….
Am I the only one here with the guts to say it – that kid is nekkid! I see a police visit in the near future for you, Mr. Frank J.!
Remember to keep a version of this clip available to show to her dates when she is a teenager. Always good for the teens to know you have the means to destroy them. Otherwise she will get a rocket launcher and a laser out of you, then tell you she’s starting a career as a model.
By the way, when she asks you for a rocket launcher, or a laser, or a flame thrower or a silenced 22LR Ruger MarkII, the correct answer is, “Of course, dear! What color would you like?” This answer has kept some very dangerous things out of my little girl’s possession for over a decade as she pondered the answer. Of course, when she finally decided, I had to go find a frikkin’ Aggie Maroon flame thrower….
Hand out Nuke The Moon shirts instead of cigars? Brilliant! Not only is it healthier, folks will be stylin’ with their new Nuke The Moon shirts. And shirts tend to last a lot longer than cigars, too. It;s a win, win for all!
In the 4-D images, she looks as though she does not want to be seen. Maybe she’s a ninja! Ninja Buttercup.
My niece was born last December. She’s a peanut, and I love her immensely (having no children of my own). Although not mine, I am finding myself being called upon more and more often to “watch her” for “awhile” so my sister can get some friggin sleep and take care of some of her tasks that have been getting out of hand. Which I agree to without hesitation every time. I just wanted to forewarn you that there are some annoying times ahead for you along with all the wonderful ones. So you may want to, at some point, consider that should you become “overburdened” by the extra responsibilities, you may be able to catch a buzz instead:

Somthing to think about come next winter.
