Worlds longest blog...

So I want to start this blog off by saying sorry it's taken so long. I'll make it up by having the worlds longest blog. I lied when I said I was going to blog from Hawaii. I ended up not bringing my laptop and Tiffany's didn't have a SD card slot. I'm not posting any pictures from Hawaii because I already posted them on Snapfish. Let me know if you want the link.

To start things off. Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving. We were really low-key. It was just Me, Tiffany(Eli in her belly), Mom, Dad, our friend from the Philippines Jaron, and Alecs. We ate then watched the Season Premier of 24 or at least that's what we thought we were watching. Found out later the actual premier is on January 11th, 2009

Thanksgiving Day crew.

Tiff with the self-shot of us loading up.

Tiff was eating for two.

Even Alecs got her own plate.

For dessert we had 5 different flavors of Blue Bell Ice Cream

On December 6th our friends Kristin, Lindsay, Mina and Ghen all got together and threw us an awesome coed Baby Shower. We don't have a whole lot of pictures yet but we will be getting more from Lindsay. Thanks again to the Party Planning Committee.

Here we are with Kristin and Chris. It was their house we were at.

We had an Ice Cream cake. I heard it was good. I wouldn't know because of my stupid Diet :(

We got lots of great gifts for Eli.

This isn't all of the gifts but most of them. And yes we got 2 Diaper Genie's. We're expecting a lot of poop.

About a week or so into December we finally got our tree. Here are some pictures of us decorating it.Both Tiff and myself don't really like big trees so this 6 footer is perfect.

Here Tiff is putting up the strung popcorn we made years ago. It still tasted pretty good.

Tiff is getting pretty good at the self-shot pics.

Dad didn't do a whole lot of decorating but he did light the fire for us.

Yes. Alecs has her own ornament.

Here is a picture of Tiffany and myself graduating from Prepared Childbirth class.

The only other thing really to talk about was on December 5th, the night before our Baby Shower. Tiff and I ended up going to the Hospital. Tiffany was having a lot of contractions. She had around 20 or more in 2 hours. We spent around 3 hours in the hospital. They gave her a shot to stop the contractions and about 30 minutes after the shot we were able to go home. I like to think that Tiff wanted to give me a test run for the big day.


That's about it. More to come later.

Today's 4-D ultrasound

Don't have a lot of time cause I still have to pack, but I wanted to post a couple of pic's from the 4-D ultrasound.
In this one you can barely see his right eye open.


He's camera shy here...

And to finish it off he stuck his tounge out at us.

Here we go...

My wife Tiffany is going to be 31 weeks on Saturday. We have our last 4-D ultrasound tomorrow(Friday). Yesterday was our first Planned parenting class. They don't call it Lamaze anymore. It was pretty fun. We didn't learn much on the first day. I'm sure I'll be on here talking about some topics that will take place. Our next class isn't for a couple of weeks.

Tonight we decided to go for a walk on the beach. While driving there I looked over and saw Alecs(our dog) sitting in Tiffany's lap. It's been pretty tough on her(Alecs) with Tiff being pregnant. One ways it's been tough on her has to do with Tiff having a giant belly, it leaves no room for her to sit, so she makes due...

Aren't these two cute? She just sits right on top of the belly. Speaking of cute, check this photo out...

There are about a million more pictures like this but I don't think they'll fit on this blog.

A little about me, I had shoulder surgery a month ago. It's an injury that I've had for a couple of years now that has gotten worse over time. Dr. Schobert is the guy who performed the surgery. He did an awesome job. Thanks Doc.

Physical Therapy is going great. I pretty much have full range of motion back and my PT says I could probably start peppering lightly soon.

With not being able to play this year, being over seas for about 3 months, "sympathy weight"
and the surgery. I've put on a couple of LB's and by a couple I mean about 50. Yup, 5-0. Let's just say I'm not under feed! I weigh about 238. A little bit heavier then the 185 lb body I had last year at this time. With that being said, I started a diet last week. I went back to my nutritionist. I should be down to 200lbs within a month. Maybe a month and a half.

That's about all I could think of to write for now. The next time I will add to this blog will be from Hawaii. Tiffany has to go for work and I have to go to carry her bags ;) We are leave on Saturday morning. We'll be there until Thursday. This will be the first time for me to go to Hawaii. I might be the only person in the world who hasn't been there. I'll make sure to post some pictures.

Until then.
