Lost + Baby Kicks

Lindsey and I have gotten hooked on watching Lost. We’ve been getting the episodes on DVD from Netflix for the last week or two. In that short amount of time we’ve managed to watch almost all of season 1 (24 episodes total) — at this rate we’ll be all caught up in a couple more weeks.
For those of you that haven’t been lucky enough to get hooked on Lost, it’s kind of a thriller-series where a group of people end up on an island in the South Pacific after surviving a plane crash. Lindsey gets pretty wound up watching the show, and I’m certain the baby has been feeling the adrenaline rush too. Last night he was very active and Lindsey and I both got to feel his movement on the outside of Lindsey’s tummy. I can only imagine what it’s going to be like when he gets a bit bigger.

Baby Kicks

Recently, Lindsey has begun to feel the baby moving. Commodus and I still haven’t felt it, though he is determined to feel it first.

Expectant Mother Parking

One added perk of taking Lindsey to the mall is the upgraded parking spaces we’re enjoying these days. I’m guessing these spots were originally intended for pregnant women in their third trimesters. Still Lindsey meets the criteria on the sign, and these parking spots were really close.

It’s a Boy!

We had our second ultrasound appointment today at 18 weeks. Lindsey and I enjoyed getting to see our baby again. It was amazing to see how much he’s grown since our last ultrasound five weeks ago. Oh, did we mention it’s a he?
Overall Lindsey’s pregnancy continues to go well. She manages to devour several boxes of organic frosted mini wheats each week, so the baby must be enjoying his cereal.

Tiny fingers.

Big feet.

The beautiful Mommy.

Proud Daddy.

One Hundred and Five Tons of Dirt

Today was a pretty exciting day. I got to spend the whole day playing in the dirt with my neighbors. Since we’ve only been living in our new house for a couple months now this was a great opportunity for everyone to spend some time getting to know each other. Along the way we moved a little dirt and drilled a few holes.
Did I mention the dirt? It was rather plentiful today. Almost too much of a good thing. We had five houses split a few truckloads. It ended up being 105 tons of dirt. Seemed like kind of a bit to me. The good news is we didn’t have to deal with wheelbarrows. We all split the cost of an 8,000 pound track loader to reduce the toll on our aging bodies. The neighbors made the grand gesture of letting me run the equipment pretty much all day, which of course made me smile 😉



In true construction worker fashion. Everyone standing around watching one guy do all the hard work. We probably drilled close to 80 of these today. Sure beats using a posthole digger.


Here’s the crew at the end of the day.
