Worst Post Ever-warning.....the Astros have lost 17 of their last 21 games and, to be honest with you, I'm not sure this is the ideal scenario to welcome a child into this world. I honestly believe by the time Major League Baseball's 2009 season rolls around (April 1st, 2009) my "young'en" will be more qualified to pitch for this team than most of the guys currently inhibiting the 'stros roster. Disgraceful.
But on to a matter you guys may actually care about: Shauna is doing fine but she seems to be growing more and more frustrated with the overall petulance of our future son. Pregnant 7 months Friday, Shauna has been complaining that this little guy has found a comfort zone beneath her right rib cage and seems to enjoy spending his spare time (re: every second of every day) playing punching bag on the inside of her ribs. Much like Rocky preparing to take on a 6-and-a-half-foot-tall Russian this future pugilist has to be wearing his little knuckles out conquering the evil that is his sweet mother's bone structure. Unlike the great Sylvester Stallone series, unfortunately, this aggression will not be accompanied by a soundtrack.
Other than that we seem to have established a comfortable routine--by "comfortable" I mean that at no time in the near future will I be passing another human through MY body--and have our eyes on the finish line. Shauna, Rusty, Oscar, Bailey, Daisy and I all love your posts and encourage you to respond as often as your schedules allow. Shauna and I are very excited to welcome this baby into our home and we're both thankful knowing you all will be a part of his little life. Have a great week.

Shauna, you are still pretty as ever, the only thing that has gotten bigger is your tummy!!! That's a good thing. When I was expecting I grew all over!!! That is not good...also, know what the rib thing is all about, that is very uncomfortable, but before you know it he will be here!! Love your titles to your blogs..
Luv ya,
Thanks for the sports/baby update. We agree with your comparison and hope the "punching kid" gives you some relief. We would also like to hear from Rusty and his comments on the summer haircut you gave him. We are all going to pitch in and buy him a sweatshirt to wear in the house so he doesn't become chilly in the A/C.

Oh you make me laugh!! Cliff, I think you need to write a book! Shauna, I never received punches, but Lena used to somehow make circles with her fingers or toes, who knows, right behind my belly button and that used to drive me crazy!

You will have to check when he is punching or kicking under the ribs see if it coincides with the Astros losses which is all the time lately so guess he is an Astros fan. Shauna, I love your pictures. In person you don't hold down your top and you don't look big at all.
Love,
Mom/Carol
Hi Shauna and Cliff,
Thanks Ciff for the interesting sports update. Shauna you may feel big but you look cute like all ways. Linda I gained all over but, with Brian just in the front. I was eating one time and Brian kicked my plate off my lap. He is still a mover. It won't be much longer and you will see your feet again. Take care and keep up with the blog. I enjoy reading it.
Love,
Auntie Ann
Hi my friends! I can't BELIEVE that belly! 7 months already!!! Thank you Cliff for the wonderful sports update haha why aren't you a commentator? So whats the verdict on the name for the wee boy? Do we have one yet? Well miss you both a lot! Hopefully after the baby is born I can take a trip out to visit...but only if he calls me Aunty Cara!
Love yas,
Cara
Hey Cliff....you're falling down on the job, what happened did Rocky get you??? Shauna, let's see a picture of Rusty, I wonder if he looks like Winston when we give him a haircut. We usually "buzz" him right down, looks a little funny at first, kinda like a walking sausage, but in no time he is all grown out!! Take care..
Luv ya, Joan
