Big Momma's Stairway to Breathlessness!

So, this Saturday we went to the All-Star race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. I was up for the challenge and the opportunity to get some much needed exercise. Right? Wrong! Little did I know we were going to be making the hike up four flights of stairs to get to our seats. By the time, we got to our seats, I was so out of breath, I sat down, chugged a bottle of water and enjoyed some slight contractions which seemed like the baby saying, "What the heck, mom?!" The second time was much worse, I just had to have that $6 footlong corndog that tasted like shit! What a joy to be pregnant! Poor Brian is constantly asking me if I am ok, as I grunt along. I know it's only going to better! It's a long way to November....but this journey will be well worth all of the aches and pains!

Ultrasounds from an UltraMan!

Bari and I went to get the ultrasound on the 14th.

Boy was it amazing! I couldn't believe that there was a little bugger in there! It reminded me of when the Alien came out of Sigourney Weaver's stomach! Craziness! But really I was amazed and astounded that I produced something that was living inside of my wife. To see it on that screen moving around in human form was surreal. I take solace in the fact that the little bro was chillin' with his hand on his head and laid back....with his money on his mind and his mind on his money. Just like it's dad.

We will find out in about 2 months if it is a boy or girl. I know that I have been saying "he" a lot but that is just wishful thinking. I really don't care what I have ( I will teach both how to throw a knuckleball) I just wish I could go ahead and paint the nursery!

Enjoy the attached picture of our baby and please comment...peace!Our due date is November 27!

U-Turn this way, I'll turn another!

Okay,

So the wife, Tyler, and myself left home yesterday to go to a playplace. I get about 2 miles down the road when the wife indicates that hunger has set in. No prob right? WRONG!

The place she wants to go is on the other side of the road 200 ft. behind us and I have to go to the next stop light to do a U-Turn. Not to mention it is a dirty dive that I don't particularly care to patronize. But, What princess wants...princess gets; I always say.

So we are there and the lovely wife desires a corndog, fries, grilled cheese sandwich, and giant size cherry lemon sprite! (see above for what I always say)

It takes them 15 minutes to get the order to the car and by that time I was starting to get hungry. Of course the forgot the ketchup, and the mustard and a straw and a gun to shoot myself with.

After taking care of that nightmare I proceed down the road to do ANOTHER U-Turn because we still are not going the right direction.

We get to the play place and guess what? THEY ARE CLOSED!
I will not be defeated however and suggest that we go to "Hobby Lobby" and get some stuff to make crafts.
After making another U-TURN and driving about 5 minutes away, we get to the "hobby lobby"
I can't go in though because::::: CLOSED ON SUNDAY"S!!!

I could go into how I tried then to swing by the theater in hopes to catch Spiderman 3 but it was 2 hours before the next show time but I will spare you .

I sighed and U-turned my ass back home.

1st blog post Welcome!

This is my first ever blog post, so I am very new to this. I want to keep a record of the trials and challenges of having my first baby. I also wanted to share all the heart-warming and funny stories with all of my family and friends. And to anyone else who cares to read about someones first baby.

My wife, Bari, is 11 weeks pregnant and this is her second child. She has done this before! I haven't.
The next 7 or 8 months should get pretty interesting.

Thanks for reading and I welcome any comments.

Brian
