So we’re at the big 10, in double digits for this kid, only 30 weeks left which hopefully means 60 more posts for ya’ll.  As you can see above I’ve added an audio player for you to listen to what I’m listening to while you read…..the wonders of technology.

So with only 10 weeks of life under its belt, the wife and kid are already in the newspaper, she’s the one mentioned in the article as “found out she was pregnant and couldn’t attend”:

Already trying to show up his/her parents with a pregnancy mention is probably not the first time that we’ll be put in our place by this kid, and to be honest with a “no show” so far, I’m starting to wonder what’s going on in there.  Yeah yeah, my wife is reading me the daily “what’s happening now” iPhone app info, but I still have to wonder what’s next, and when do we start seeing the pregnancy as much as we’re talking about it?  From what I’ve heard this little thing has working elbows?  I mean really, elbows?  My wife I’m sure was thinking “I can’t wait until those elbows can jab me in the bladder when I’m trying to sleep.” Whereas I keep thinking, “At least the kid has a way of moving around if nothing else.”  Either way, I hope to see a little more movement in hopes to prove this is actually happening and not just a fluke TV show about people that had no idea they were pregnant until they get to the hospital.

As for other things going on in our lives, we bought blinds, a rug and coffee table, and this weekend I officially made room for baby products in the kitchen.  I know, only 25% of the way through the pregnancy and you’re already moving the serving dishes for baby bottles, what are you thinking?  If you knew me beyond this blog you’d be surprised that I waited this long.  For what it’s worth, I am going to wait to paint the bedroom which my wife was ready to do a year ago just to get rid of the white walls in there.  I’m just glad we blew $200 on bedroom linens for that room 3 weeks before we found out we were pregnant, I really feel that those things are going to look great on a closet shelf in 6 or so months.   The goal will be to just not have to paint the hall closet to match the pattern on the comforter.   Have a good work week folks.
