Showtime

Things have been increasingly busy over the last couple of weeks, culminated by a full weekend of hosting dinner, a late holiday party, and catching up with some high school friends. Considering our weekends are normally filled with naps, couch time, and trips to the park with the dogs, this was something new for us. That might explain why Kelly is currently upstairs, eyes shut and curled in a ball, with Tater nestled comfortably behind her. I'm not sure who is snoring louder...

This was well deserved rest for my wonderwife who managed to help plan a huge company party, which required a 6 day work week, while managing to find an outfit that made her look pregnant and not fat (her words, not mine), and also cooking dinner for 7 on Friday night. Now, she had some help with dinner, but the hard stuff was on her. We topped off the weekend with a Sunday visit from Evan and Clara Maxwell and brunch at Kerbey Lane... delicious!!

The baby-related news these days is all good. Another checkup and more positive test results... strong heartbeat and healthy mama-to-be. Oh yeah, and we have some minor bumpage going on these days. I think Kelly started showing within the last 3 days. Seriously- she woke up one day and there it was. Before we went to the Convio party on Saturday she was getting dressed and said "Everything I wear makes me look pregnant!" I calmly explained that this was a good thing and reminded her that she is, indeed, pregnant. This, of course, was no help and reminded me that there is still no reasoning with a pregnant woman.

The bump didn't stop her from teaching me how to two-step and rocking out to a little Marvin Gaye at the party. We also took the opportunity to use the green screen for some truly odd pictures. I can honestly say I never imagined I'd be wearing a luchadore's mask and a sombrero and pointing a plastic rifle at my pregnant cowgirl-sheriff wife but I guess these things happen right? Riiiight...
