It's a marathon, not a sprint

Wondering how many people thought I already forgot about this.  Again....first-time blog = wanting to post a lot of crap, almost every day.  Who knew I had so much crap in me (please don't answer that :-D ).  The wife said the best thing was to make it weekly, so that I don't overload my audience.  I'm like "you think we'll have an audience?".  Sure enough, there's a few followers.  So to my following peeps..."am I that entertaining?"  If so, then you're welcome :-).  The wife was suppose to post as well, but she's been busy.  In fact, she's busy helping move her mom as I type.  Now...before you /gasp...all the big stuff is done, she's helping with "end-game" moving.  A box here, a box there, a file cabinet or two to move (hee hee).  In all seriousness, she won't be touching anything heavy.  We did most of the main moving yesterday.  Family and friends would not have her lift anything short of a small box.  Pregnancy does have it's privileges. 

Going off-track here; we spent 12 hours moving my mum-n-law.  12 hours and it's still not finished!  If moving had frequent flyer miles, I could've gotten a free trip somewhere.  It wasn't too painful, but man...and to my mum (because odds are good she will be seeing this), please don't move again.  If you do move though, do it within the same county/zip code plleeeeaaaasse.  If you can't do that....hire professional movers and have a packing party instead.  We'll love you for it :-D

Okay....on to baby stuff.  I think we're ending week 13 and moving on to 14.  We're just 1/3 into the pregnancy and it's felt like forever.  I just keep telling myself that by the 3rd trimester, things will pick up fast.  The wife is already showing and so far things are going well.  She's still tired, so I'm surprised she went over to help a bit more with moving.  She's still "eating all the things" and that's great, I think.  She's kicked off the Diet Coke completely (thought I'd never see that).  One thing that I find fascinating is all the baby-related items people have ready for us.  Okay...maybe not for us, per se....but it's interesting on that aspect.  It's like people save up their baby/pregnancy items cause they know someday, someone else will be needing them.  I think it's great, being able to recycle items and passing things back n forth (although I raise my eyebrows to a used breast pump).  How do baby stores keep in business?  I mean, how the hell am I suppose to spent $$ and be a filthy consumer if people already have items for us??  Oh well, I guess more money for blu rays (yay!!!!!).
