What in the world?!?!

So I'm 32 weeks same ole same ole......

I got the strangest comment on my last post. Yes...I own a Wii, but me a "gamer"...I don't think so :-)

I found your blog online and noticed that you live in the Denver area and enjoy video games. I would like to personally invite you to a video game competition I am hosting in Denver on Saturday July 18th. The event is called "Retro Game Championship" and it will be loosely based on the movie "The Wizard" with Fred Savage. Basically we will have 10 TV's setup with original NES consoles. 5 TV's will be playing a rare Nintendo cartridge called "Nintendo World Championships" which gives each gamer 6 minutes and 21 seconds to get 50 coins in Super Mario 1, finish 1 lap in Rad Racer, and get a high score in Tetris. The other 5 TV's will be playing an even more rare game (there is only real copy in existence) called "Nintendo Campus Challenge". This game gives you 6 minutes to get 25 coins in Super Mario 3, 100,000 points in PinBot, and a high score in Dr. Mario. The championship should be a great time. It gives you a chance to show off your retro gaming skills, hang out with some local gamers, and play some very rare video games. I hope you can make it. Here are the full details again: When: Saturday July 18th 2-9 PM (you can come during any part of the event) Where: JJGames Store | 7975 E Harvard Ave, Ste G | Denver, CO 80231 Website With Directions: http://www.jjgames.com/page/retro-game-championship-2009 I will be giving away prizes through-out the night and will be sure to save a free t-shirt for you if you RSVP and let me know you are coming. Feel free to bring some guests along with you too. I look forward to seeing you on July 18th.

H.O.T.

31 weeks and it is HOT!!! Pool or in the air-condition have been the only options this week!

(I'm a little late posting this week...where does the time go?)

Jeff and I are getting SO excited!!! In the past few weeks we have gotten to go to the hospital for the arrival of two "bundles of joy." (Cora and Stella)....And we are so anxious to meet our little Charlie! I've been reading the books...one minute I'm excited....the next terrified!!! Time is going fast and dragging on...if that makes sense????

The BIG 3-0

That's right folks....we've hit the 30 week mark! (3/4 of the way there!!!)

This is one of our favorite things that Charlie will be wearing in the near future...thanks Aunt Mandy and Uncle Brad!

Time is flying by.....can't wait!!!

28 weeks later

Oh what a day....I spent over 3...yes 3 hours at the doctor today! Not to worry, everything is fine, just a little pokey in the office today!

I had the pleasure of getting to drink this "potion" that tasted like Crush from three years ago... a good size cup full within the 5 minute time frame. Followed by an hour of waiting to be pricked and have blood drawn.

About 35-40 minutes later I got to hear the "thumpity, thump" of Charlie's healthy heart! (After about five minutes of the doc trying to hear it before my "very active son" (in the words of my doctor) would be still enough to get a good listen!!!)

And I wrapped up the afternoon with a lovely shot...raising my arm may be a challenge in the morning!!! (Thanks to Jeff having positive blood and me negative)

Week 28 is off to a good start!!!! What more could you ask for than a "everything looks great" report??? (That makes every prick and prod worthwhile)
