Happy Baby Day
Weight: ??? Workout: none My new son entered this world at 8:15 pm on May 4th. There is absolutely nothing that I could write that could express the emotion of that experience. It is truly dumbfounding. To see a human life at it's very beginning is incredible. There is a definite primal thing that happens. I can't really explain it but there is this raw animal kind of pride at seeing your baby take it's first breaths and scream with life that leaves you feeling like the absolutely most powerful person in the world. Of course now I'll be entering the 6 months of absolutely no sleep that will teach me just how vulnerable and fragile the most powerful person in the world can feel. And as hard and trying as that could be I don't think I would trade it for anything. It is amazing how after two years with Cecilia you could forget jfust how small and precious a newborn is. And yet I still see her as that small little baby that we brought home two years ago. I suppose I always will. I think that is probably the reason that parents always forgive their children anything they do. In the minds eye they are always going to be that fragile, precious little baby that captures their hearts and souls in that single instant of screaming and clawing into life. absolute happiness and joy is the only thing I am feeling right now.

Our Mark

Good
Weight: ??? Workout: None Some small contractions last night but no baby. Jen has here weekly appt with the OB this morning so we'll see where we are at. Updates will be made if anything exciting happens! Update... Apparently my baby has a great big head! The dr says that there has been no real change since last week and scheduled a follow up for Thursday. It looks as though a C-Section might be in the future. We had really wanted a natural childbirth but if things don't start popping soon that might not be in the cards. Jennifer scheduled an appt with a chiropractor to see if maybe that can spur some action. on a side note apparently the issues I have been having with my tv card were in the cable and not the card. I got a new cable and now everything is hunky dory!

Safe And Sound
Weight: ??? Workout: None to speak of I was pretty tired this morning and wasn't sure if I was going to go to the gym or not. Jen voiced an opinion and I went. I didn't really do much though I think I may have been overdoing it a little or not eating enough lately. I have been awful tired lately. I think a day off might help to figure it out.

Hairshirt
Weight: ??? Workout: 30 Minutes Treadmill Most of the machines were taken today and since I hate being on a machine right next to someone I just walked on the treadmill for a half hour. I did walk fast though. I had it set at 3.7 which helped me to work up a pretty decent sweat. I was feeling a little tight after running yesterday and it helped with that too. I also spent 15 minutes in the sauna which also helped. Still no baby but it should be any day now!

I Don't Want You
Weight: 222 Workout: 30 Minutes Treadmill I ran for about 15 minutes. It felt pretty good. I would have liked to make it to 20 or 25 minutes but it has been a while since I really ran. I might try to run some more this week and get back on track with that. The Baby should be heere any moment. I'm very excited!

Little Brother RSN
Peole keep asking if the baby is hear yet. I of course say Real Soon Now © i don't think anyone gets it. So I created a quick dir in ~/public_html to amuse myself. Linky basically this is taken from when the gnu cvs got hacked and they took down all the files so they could be checked for integrity. they left all the file names up with an added [RSN] which stood for Real Soon Now!. As in we'll get that back real soon now. Any way it made me laugh.

Novim's Nightmare
Weight: Workout: Swimming Man Swimming is hard! My back was real stiff this morning and I was thinking on my way to the gym how nice it would be to sit in the whirlpool. So rather than be a big weenie I decided to swim laps first. I told myself that I would try and do 5 laps(1 lap == down and back). Ha! That wasn't going to happen. I got two done and had to quit before I had a stroke. After that I was happy to sit in the whirlpool for 15 minutes. My back is feeling much better!

God Save The Queen
Weight: ???? Workout: 20 Minutes Treadmill I only ran a mile today. My nose was stuffy and a little runny and that was making it difficult to keep going. I did get on the scale and I'm at 221! So if I'm good through the weekend I think there is a chance I'll be in the teens on monday!
