Well, I got a call from my wife from work about 9pm tonight, and shes told me she had seven contractions in the last hour, and that she'd call First Nurse after 10pm when she got out of work.
Well, flash forward at 1045 and I'm here watching Storm Chasers and waiting for the update as she is in the hospital and we're seeing where it goes from here.
I'll keep you posted and hopefully I'll have pictures and video when I get back to you.

#25: Two or four more weeks to go?
I've seen morning sickness, dizzy spells, more stretchmarks than one could ever count, an ever expanding form, and kicks, punches and spins from this little one. Soon it will all be over and the real fun begins again. I've taken many pictures of this form for document and post on wifey's cafemom page, and I've also had many interesting moments, each one I've been able to experience and laugh about, or cry at times.
It's been one weird wild ride, and now I kinda feel bad, it ends and then the real work begins.
But at least this one really likes me. Her and the cat both do. She responds and pushes outward to my voice, or kicks the same number of times I tap on the belly. It's been so fun playing with her. I can't wait until she gets here! But at the same time I don't want to see it end. It kinda sucks.
But I guess, its been fun while it lasted. Hopefully she looks cute, like her sister. But who knows!

#24: The Shower
Well, the shower was today, and wow, this kid has no reason whatsoever to go naked. It's nice to see that family and friends all think about this kid, no fancy gadgets, just clothes, diapers and other stuff like bibs and burp rags and blankets. I love that. Nothing better. While some people might view the second baby shower for another girl as greedy or something else, fuck them. Its not about that, its about the love those people want to "shower" on the newborn. I hope she realizes that. She has a lot of people who love her, and she's not even here yet! The room is looking great, I put up the letters for her name today, and her animal plaques. Oh, and the curtain rod! \m/!

#23: The fun dwindles...
Well, its week 30. The belly continues to grow...as do the hormones!
I'm missing out on this one already and its still got ten weeks left until R-day. (Rory day) To recap so far. I've enjoyed this rollercoaster ride of a pregnancy. The hormones have made each day interesting, I never know which side of my wife I'm waking up to. The tear my head off because I woke up a half hour later than I normally do wifey, the mushy "I love you so much..." wifey, the wifey who can't wait to get this kid outta her, or the wifey who gets a lil wake-n-snake. Girls, you aren't going to get that shit, but guys know the wake-n-snake. Thats the time when you're either asleep or half-asleep, she comes in, and next thing you know, she's going to happytown and you don't even know whats goin on! That, is the wake-n-snake. Similar to the wake-n-bake, but much much more fun!
It's been a blast watching Rory grow, and become more active (my back has never felt better from all the kicks I get while I sleep), and the best thing about it is, she has been so fun, and even she knows what is what before she has even been born!
The economy is shit, but life is ok. I guess its ok. Who knows!

22: The expanding continues!
So I'm looking at my naked wife after her shower today. And WOW is she getting huge! I couldn't be more enamored with her right now! It's so nice to see her come into true form, she's easily gained several inches in belly in just a few short weeks. And yes, her butt, and breasts have swollen as well, much to my desire!
It's awesome to watch it week by week, if you get the chance, I highly recommend paying close attention to your SO next time she is pregnant!
Also, we put together the playpen to try it out, and we had a blast, or I should say *I* had a blast trying to put together the changing shelf on the playpen, it didn't fit right at all, so wifey to the rescue and she fixed it and made it work, and I like it. Maybe I'll have some pictures soon.

#21: Been a long time...here's an update
Ok, so its been a month or so, and a lot has happened since then...let me bring you up to speed.
The ultrasound is clearer this time, so much so you could see the pelvic muscle to the side of the labia. Yes, its going to be girl number 2! We made the joke that the sister of one of Dee's friends is making the football team (all boys) and we're working on the cheerleaders. As disappointed as I was to find out the sex (which means I can't get snipped right away *fumes*), I'm not going to love her any less. She's still my kid. At least now we have a new plan that makes it so maybe we'll look into another one. If not its on my brother to "carry on the family name"
And who's to say that I have to anyways? Or that my daughter can't. Why can't she? What if she keeps her name? (Why she'd do that is beyond me, hell, I even thought about adopting my wife's name! How the hell can telemarketers fuck up Roberts?)
Also, we're having the baby shower...um. I forgot what day it is. But I'll have it soon. I hope. I know its in October.
And since we're having another girl, I get to teach women about cars. These two will be able to restore or at least work on their own cars by the time they know how to drive. At least I want them to know enough to change their own tires, or be able to figure out whats going on in a car by the sound/vibration it makes. Which reminds me, I need to tweak the alignment in my car.
This one already has one disc of music education that she's listened to, and I have the second for her. What I'm doing is putting a bunch of music mixed together, and going from there.
Well, thats it for now, hopefully I'll have more interesting stuff to blog about. Oh, hey, I have some stuff to put together...

20: The trickery of the Goddess...
WSo we went to the 20 week ultrasound, myself, my wife and Justeen. Looking at the lil person. Seeing all the cool stuff and the functioning of everything, and it all looks good. So far as we know. It kept moving in every direction it could, didn't really want to be seen we guess.
But we don't really know if its a boy or girl, but at this point, we don't know, its not looking good for the boy though.
You could just feel the mood drop in that room today. I don't have the picture to post as of yet, but I can definitely tell its not lookin good, either that or he'll have to really work on his personality.
We'll have to wait another 3-4 weeks, til August 13th to find out for sure, and here's hoping the parts come into their own. Whatever they may be.

#19: The Good Morning Dance
So, once in awhile, in the morning, I wake up as most guys do. Harder than Chinese Algebra.
So here I decide to try to start things, and its going good as far as I can tell, she's moaning her pleasures, writhing around, and losing articles of clothing and such. Then the cat makes her way in the room through the partially closed door. Smart ass cat! Got the door open even though it was all but latched.
So then I toss the cat out, and resume the play, and by this point, its about to get on with no strings attached. Then kiddo wakes up.
And thus is the story of my mornings when I try to get us going to our happy place.

#18: The gushing starts!
So over the last few days I've discovered that baby "Cashew" likes the sound of my voice. So much so that he tries to bust out of the womb just to hear me! I have a daddy's boy. The fun thing I love to do is get him to move around wherever my hand may be.
Much to my wife's dismay. She hates this game because inevitably he ends up pushing on her bladder. It's just so interesting to watch my wife get bigger, and watch him get his own personality. So much fun!
I guess what makes me happiest is that I got to start a lot earlier with this one as far as the whole talking to the fetus goes. I got started with my daughter by reading Where The Wild Things Are. While I will read that book to Cashew, I think I might start with liner notes, Blender, and car magazines. Maybe get my kid to like cars and music as much as I do.

#17: Assorted Thoughts
So, I just got done with a great bout of nookie, very splashy, and very erotic. Then I took a post-nookie shower. And had a snack.
And then I got to thinking, this kid has full brain function at this point, it can create thoughts, emotions, etc. So I'm thinking, what if this kid can recall what its like when we have sex?
Dude, wouldn't that trip you the hell out if you reverted back to the womb in a hypnotic state, and remember bouncing around while your dad did it doggystyle to your mom?
These are the kinds of things I think when I hit the cottage cheese. BTW, hit the Blue Bunny 4%, its next to heaven!
So, what to talk about besides pregnant boobs and nookie?
