Viva Elvis

Today is the 30 year anniversary of Elvis' death, and even though I was only 1 1/2 years old at the time, I've always had a special place in my heart for The King. Especially the Fifties Elvis, and "Elvis, The Actor". Who can deny such great classics like "Clam Bake", "Spinout" (it has vintage Cobra and Maclaren race cars... how could you NOT love that movie?), and of course, "Blue Hawaii".

RIP, my dear Elvis. You will forever be my Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love.

Penny & Bruno!

Penny and her best friend Bruno had a day at the beach this last weekend! It was Penny's first real exposure to the river (except for an involantary dunk at D&D's) and at first she was very timid. But the more we coaxed her in the water, and the deeper Bruno went - she got used to it! No real swimming exactly, but still a fun romp in the water.



The rest of the time was spent playing and romping around in the sand! Fun!

Week 31

One thing that I've been thinking a lot about this week is the fact that during pregnancy, you're so focused on the "end". So many weeks to go, days to go, towards the ever looming Due Date. What I've been realizing is that it's not "The End".... it's actually "The Beginning" !! The beginning of a whole new way of life with our Lil'Dude. Uncharted waters....

Good grief, I hope we know what we're doing.

So this week, the little man is just over 3 pounds, about 12 - 14" long and will start to pick up speed. They say that from now until about 2 weeks before the birth, he will gain a 1/2 pound per week! He can move his head from side to side and will start to move around a lot more (how is that possible!?).


With me - the added poundage on him will directly effect me. Yup. If you thought I was big now, just wait! I'm going to be huge! Gargantuan! Y'all will say...
"Hey hey hey! It's FAT MAMMA!" (with your best Fat Albert voice, of course)

My maternity clothes are already starting to get too small... Anyone have a Mu Mu I can borrow?
