Hey everybody! Chris here. I'm sitting in McDonald's sucking on a smoothie (blueberry pomegranate, not bad) because i didn't feel like going to the library. It was probably a bad idea (the price of a smoothie and music vs silence and savings) but I felt like a change of scenery.
So, what's new, you might ask? Well, plenty! I started going to a gym that teaches martial arts classes, and I am loving it. I got a reduced price three month membership for my birthday (Thanks, Kylie) and i started last week, so I've been five times now, twice for kickboxing, thrice for boxing. Who'da thunk hitting a bag would be so exhausting? Man, I'm sore all down my back and arms, and even my legs! I love it. We did some exercise using a Moby song called Flower, and every time he'd say down we'd squat, every time he'd say up we'd go up. It's a fun workout, and now the song has been in my head since Monday, haha.
Work is the same. No updates. Hmm, was it even worth typing out for you to read? Probably not, but what's done is done.
Kylie's enjoying school (I think, I'm never there with her) and she is remembering their names, mostly. They had a performance last night, I think. She didn't offer for me to go, so I'm not sure. I think she's ashamed to be seen with me ;).
Speaking of Kylie, she's looking adorable! I love her belly. Even more, I love the little guy inside of it. He's the best. I felt him move for the first time the other day.I'm trying to read to him, when I can. He is (according to our weekly updates online) now the size of a rutabaga (and what is rutabaga? Apparently some kind of vegetable, but who cares, I bet my baby's cooler than one anyway). So that's my boy. Kylie loves him, too, but I think she gets tired of him dancing on her sciatic nerve. Her leg is ALWAYS hurting now. Only four months to go, Kylie! Ganbatte!
We went to the pool the other day, and Kylie was happy. She was able to completely submerge her belly, and that is apparently very relieving. It just made it heavier after getting out, though. She tried to take a bath the other day when we realized there is no way to plug the tub! She tried a plate, plastic wrap, and who knows what else before dejectedly crawling into bed for a moment of sadness. She's adorable. Did I say that already?
Well, the lunch rush from the high school is now in McDonald's so I think it's time to boogie. Listening to teenagers flirt and laugh is not my idea of a day off. Besides, it's almost bed time! So with that, good night!
Hey, there!!! So excited for you guys. :) Congrats on the little guy. It is soo much nicer when you can call them by their name or at least he or she. For me it made it much more exciting also. I had so much more fun buying stuff for baby and decorating the babies room. I'm so glad everything is going so well for the both of you. Kylie looks so adorable also. I'm sorry about her sciatic nerve, I had a few that had decided that was the best spot for them to hang out also. It is soo painful. Hey, try a wash cloth or 2 in the whole for the tub, that may help keep the water in long enough for her to get relief. Also I also did ice packs, that seemed to help also. Has she tried laying on her back on the floor with her bottom against the couch and feet where you would normally sit. It will hurt like heck and I mean like really bad but after sitting there for about 5 or 10 min. She c can get up and it should help to relive some of the pain. That was one of the ways I was able to make it through, oh and lots of back rubs from Jeff...hint, hint. ;) Glad to hear from you guys and know you are doing well. We are doing good to Rick's papers just got sent off and Steven is in Brazil now. He's been out almost 4 months. So crazy, how time flies. We love you and miss you tons!! You will always be our adopted son just so you know, we still talk about you and have friends ask about you. It is so fun to be able to tell them all of the good news that is happening in your life. ;)
