There has been a lot of stuff "passing" in addition to time around here this month. I'm proud of Tina. She has taken it upon herself to practice for the pain of childbirth by passing as many kidney stones as she can every day. Ouch.
Ironically, it all started on Labor Day and here we are three weeks later. She keeps telling her body she is done practicing but it isn't listening yet. Maybe this week. On the other hand I'm sure Mya is having fun. Reminds me of that dumb movie "look who's talking" when the baby gets high from the epideral and is waving his hand and seeing all kinds of colors. She must like it cause she is turning flips and kicking Tina's bladder. She always stops cold when we start talking to her though. The cats have enjoyed all of the napping with Tina. Although we have started forcing them to go outside and get some excercise.
We went in for the official sonogram this past week and all of her fingers and toes are there and shes is developing right on schedule and is heallthy. It was a relief to "pass" that milestone! And yes they verified that indeed she is a girl.
I had lasik surgery in my right eye about a month ago. I'm sure it will be well worth it after a few more weeks. I had to really careful not to disturb my eye for the first week. I had to wear those protective glasses when I slept and some protective goggles during basketball. But it is great now. I just can't rub my eye yet. The surgery was quick but I never new I was closterphobic. I'll admit I almost hyper-ventulated but the doctor gave me a stuffed bunny-rabit to hold and I felt better. What a wimp huh!
We have been watching BYU and KU "pass" all kinds of football records this season. All of mine (KU and Utah) and Tina's (KU and BYU) teams are in the top 25 this year. We just watch or listen to football all Saturday long. Our friend and fellow KU alumni Karl has been helping us "pass" the time by showing me how to handle a charcoal barbeque. We had steaks last weekend during the KU game and hamburgers and chicken this weekend during the KU win. We have also grilled up some corn-on-the-cob and asparagus. Mmmmm! Desert is always fresh fruit smoothies.
We are just practicing for the KU basketball season. We watched every televised game last year. I am addicted to DVR. Dog the Bounty Hunter is currently my favorite show. I get 5 or 6 new or old episodes to watch every Wednesday on A&E. His autobiography is incredible if you ever get a chance to read it. That guy really understands and practices the atonement. He is one of my heroes.
We went to the Kern County fair on Friday. It is probably twice the size of the Utah State Fair. There was a lot to do and eat. We had barbequed ribs and fried smores. We visited all of the prize livestock and even saw a pig race. It was fun to hang out with our friends Karl and Jeremy and Stephanie from Utah who live here.
So that is how we have been "passing" our time (besides going to baby stores over and over again).
