Bad Aim

Soooooo......

You know how all new parents of baby boys have a little adventure with their son's firehose? Well, something really funny happened today. Nate attempted vertical urination and instead of hitting Julie hit himself in the face. Yeah, he didn't like that at all. Anyway, I thought you might find that funny.

Things are going well

Labor is progressing well now. Julie is resting comfortably with the aid of an epidural. Nathan's heartbeat is still very strong. I think that is all you want to know. I'll keep you updated.

King Kong

This post will basically deal with our experience with the movie we saw yesterday. Without a doubt, the special effects were outstanding and continuous. The movie was so loud that Julie put all our coats over her belly so that Nate wouldn't be scared. So in that respect the movie was great. You all need to go see it on the big screen. All those positive things aside, I really didn't like the movie and will probably never see it again. I just thought the story was boring. The dialog was sparse, we seriously went 45 minutes with a single line! The whole beauty and the beast thing was not believable, neither was the parallel love story with the playwrite. The film was way to long for the story. I strongly dislike Jack Black so that didn't help either. I guess I was just expecting too much from this film. I tend to expect a lot from Peter Jackson being such a big Lord of the Rings fan. Anyway, just thought I would let you all know what Julie and I thought about the film.

So here we are.......

After doing everything possible to get this baby to come - obviously nothing worked - we are here getting ready for plan B. Plan B is to do Plan A over again. If Plan B doesn't work then we add a c-section in at the end. So whatever happens, Nathan is coming on tuesday!!!!! It really sucked to come home last week without our little Nate in our arms. Our crib was empty, our infant seat had no functional purpose and Julie had to put her maternity clothes on again. OK, that all seems really petty but it was still a bummer. Here is the way I have chosen to look at the situation. Nate wanted me to finish finals without worrying too much about him and he wanted Julie to get over the little cold that she had. He is a very thoughtful little guy!!!!!
