good morning again kenny

The birds are at it again. I think those f'n birds know I haven't pooed for days.

SUGAR

Meet Sugar. She wanted to see which was bigger, her head, or my belly. I love the way she says "PEANUT BUUUUUUUUTER".
I am actually smiling in this photo, but the photographer had a different idea.

Go Eagles

Sexy Rake, Kennequa, and Laura. We are buds from High School. We're way funnier now though. We were all in swimming class together, our teacher looked just like David Letterman, only she had glasses.

tanning booth

See how excited CT is now that baby Sam is out. I don't want the Hulk out too soon, cuz then she'll have to go in one of those baby tanning booths. That's soooo Hollywood.

hello pooch

I love this dog.

Nada

36 week appointment today.  I'm not dilated, not effaced, nothing.  

Actually I'm tired.  Real tired.  

As soon as I find where I placed my camera, I'll post some pics...

Megaphone/Pump accessory

Mama Fisk showing me how a breast pump attachment can double as a megaphone. And yes, that's a BUD LIGHT in my hand. I know it's a crappy beer.

We graduated from Breastfeeding class!

My Breast Friend and I had class again.  Check out all of the props the instructor brought: bottles, a boob, and a burger.  The burger is to show how big you would have to open your mouth to take a bite. Almost everyone brought their birthing partners (read husbands).  BFF totally has the home court advantage though.  

ground-zero lung

What is this Mel Gibson look-a-like doing in the pile of rubble with his baby?  This is picture that our Breast feeding instructor passed around as an example of a baby sling.  Baby looks comfy, but I'm more worried about her ground-zero lung that she's gonna get.

Morning Kenny

Urrrrrggggggg!  Good morning Kenny.  Truth is, I'm jealous of the regularity of these birds.

What I wouldn't give to poo 7 times.

Hulk's room

Getting the room ready.  Big bro painted most of it, mom the sunshine finished it off, Dawn the Great and Paul are assembling the crib, and Uncle PP is building the closet.

The Hulk says, "THANK YOU".

Co-de-pendant

Billy Rae is sharing Tings with Codie (short for Co-de-pendant).

Thanks Billy Rae

Billy Rae installed a permanent beer opener in our kitchen.  Mama's gonna love this, cuz I can open a beer with one hand.  Note my impecable form.  

sober for 35 weeks...

I've been sober for exactly 35 weeks. It's time to start introducing the Hulk to beer. Mama loves the beer. And when I am breastfeeding...it's pump and dump.

My little Michael Phelps

The parade could have sucked worse for me today.  Meet Sparky the Fire dog.  The rookies have to wear this.  You can see how many people are in the stands behind us to watch the parade.  

It's been raining for the past 3 days...and Hulk and I are loving it.  She loves the water.  She's basically the Michael Phelps of the fetuses.  She had to beat out over 16 million sperm to make it to the egg. 

Preggo leading the Peds

The rain didn't seem to bother these boy scouts.  I'm leading the "PEDESTRIAN" group in the kids' parade during Western Welcome Week in Littlefun.  

That sign above my head says "WE FOUND YOUR BALLS".  Click on the pic and see for yourself.

Check this out...PART 1

PART 3

Happy Cakes

I met my friend Jim (he ironically owns a gym) for cupcakes today.  He got white on white, white on black, and I went with the decadent red velvet.  We made love to our cupcakes, then caught up on some gossip.  Thanks for the girl talk Jim.

De-lish

This is how coffee is made next to "Happy Cakes".  They grind the beans right in front you, then they boil water, and you can see the rest for yourself...Amazing.

The inner workings of your coffee maker

This is what goes on inside your coffe maker.  Why on earth do we spend hundreds of dollars on coffee makers?  After the Hulk comes out, I'm goin' grass roots coffee making.  

holy cow batman

Look at these monster thumbs. He claims he's real agile with the texting.
Very impressive Captain F.

ojo a ojo

This picture cracks me up. It's our kids' 2nd playdate together. Here they are ojo a ojo, paw to paw, mano a mano.
I'm 34 weeks, and Jess is almost 39 weeks. That's full term for you preggo rookies

the feeding tree

So this is how it's done. Mom feeds baby, friend feeds birthing partner. That kid is an 8 month old meatball eater. It was impressive to watch.

Frog pod

The smartest one in our birthing class, and his birthing partner had their shower this weekend. He totally knows I'm gonna blog his ass in this picture.
And yup, we got them the coveted FROG POD.

Don't f this up Keeley...

The National Fire Chief's Conference is in Denver this week.  My assignment was to pick up 4 Chiefs from DIA on Friday.  

This should be e-z, I thought.  

Borrow City Vehicle

Drive to DIA

Park

Pick Chiefs up

Impress them with my humor and good looks all the way to their Hotel

After they pick up their bags at baggage claim, I lead them to the space where I parked said City vehicle.  

"OH F...someone's playin' a trick on me Chiefs."

City vehicle is suspiciously missing.  

Virtual Friends, I missed the photo opportunity of this rare occasion, because my camera was in the vehicle that was ticketed, towed and impounded.  

I will post some pics later, cuz I asked one of the Chiefs to please take a picture of me and the cop who so kindly mended this sticky situation.  I'm sure those Chiefs were impressed as heck.

On another note, I'm loving the Olympics.  The road race looked soooo painful.  Levi did us proud with an 11th place finish though. 

pizza in the park

Dinner in the park with the fam.  

Weiner Poopie

This video always turns my frown upside-down...
I just love this lady's "accent".

mucus plug

We graduated from our birthing class last night. We learned about natural births, and we learned about drugs. Let me just say, my birthing partner is very open to taking the drugs.

We also learned about the bag of waters, and the mucus plug. If either of these two make an appearance, birth is imminent.
Which brings me to my next point. I think I coughed up my mucus plug this weekend.
