When pregnancy becomes dangerous...

A special thanks to the Nuffer for making so many hormones this week and making Renee crazy. Either spankings or I'm going to chop off your umbilical chord. Post birth of course.

Despite the numerous weird ailments, pregnancy can be dangerous for the partner. I did have one recent almost heart attack this week when Renee had told me we were leaving on Monday and not Tuesday. After she assured me that this was the correct day I then came to realize that her statistical margin for error on days has been extended from 0 to now +/- 1.

Best dialogue of the week.
R-"Our water pump isn't working right?"
T- "I turned it on, but I don't think its coming on."
R- "Yeah its broken or needs to be reset"
T- "Did they show you a reset switch?"
R- "I'm sure there is one, there are all those wires hanging out the top just tug on those".

Goodbye cruel world.

In all honesty I have to say that I am proud of Renee. Although I make countless jokes about her having to wake up at 5:20 to be at the trainer at 6:30, she still is trucking along. Going to the trainer 3 days a week and doing yoga for 2. Pretty impressive as she is out of the bed before me most days of the week.

We take our pregnancy antics to U.S. soil this week.

Guest Blogger Abandonment

This week was supposed to be a guest blog featuring the mommy of the nuffin noffin, but at the last minute she pulled out citing some weird ailments. So for a quick fix I did a quick video to sum up the week.

We're still working on the name for the boy baby and I have discovered that I veto about 100/1 names. The one is really still a veto with me just elongating a noise so I don't veto every single name. Can you name a baby a sound and just leave the spelling up to interpretation?

Heaven on Earth

-Food Predator

Heaven on Earth. This phrase was used 2 times today to describe the apple pancake cooked at breakfast and again for the beef tenderloin for dinner. I realize fully that this could not be at all related to pregnancy and could be what was called "Life with Nay Nay" before and now "Pregnancy with Nay Nay".

Baby name for a girl has been solidified so we have began searching for boy names. Don't be amazed at the book 50,001 baby names because its pretty much BS. I think that about 1000 of the names are your ordinary names and the other 49,001 are split between food and feudal lords. Funniest name so far has been Chicken Burger (not listed). Now I'm not sure how this really works out or if I need to go to the Municipal Court for a name change when I return, but it almost makes us wet our pants with laughter. -We know that we are the only ones that think this is the funniest thing ever.

A Recipe for Pregnancy

Baby Hiccup, Custom sand holes for stomachs, Apple Cider Vinegar. - A recipe for Pregnancy.

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Apple Cider Vinegar is the what I smell every night before bed, in the morning and at lunch. Its the only thing that keeps Renee's face from looking like she is a middle schooler with acne.

I have to be honest and say that I am very excited to be tapering off with the body image issues.

Although I understand this phenomena and why it occurs, I had reduced all my responses below.


Early on it was something like this...


Q:Do I look fat?

A:What? (pretending not to hear question)

Analysis- Not such a good tactic. Question usually repeated within 5 seconds coupled by a spin

to view other body parts in the mirror.


A little after that we progressed here:


Q:Do I look fat?

A:AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

Analysis- This response must be performed in a sadistic/crazy manner in order to alarm and elude to possible danger nearby. Once distracted- make exit.


I have settled somewhere around here.


Q:Do I look fat?

A:Renee, you might be pregnant. I'm not sure, but maybe another blood test just to confirm.

Analysis- Up to this point has been my diamond in the rough. This provides you with a laugh and

a buffer of 30 seconds before body rotation in mirror and repetition of question. One can usually duck, roll, and army crawl out of that war zone.


Other happenings this week:
I also have begun to let the cat know that he will be neglected in T-minus 4months and possibly
skinned for baby clothing. I think that is something that a lot of people forget to prepare their
animals for.

Baby Kicks- The Nuffer has been pretty active this week with boots and flutters. As you can see
by the video. We’ve also been playing a bunch of guitar and reading to it at night. Not your typical baby books, but more like Adyashanti (Zen Buddist).

Highlight of the week-
Renee digging a hole in the sand for her stomach to fit in. As you can see, this is exciting.

No time like the present.

I think the first 20 Weeks can be described as "Pregnancy with Nay Nay" From the moment that we found we/I was very excited. Although Renee was freaking out in the parking lot of the Outback Steakhouse in San Jose. Even right now I am singing the "Final Countdown" with my own lyrics like "Blogging for our familyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" and the "Final Crepedown" after eating about 30 crepes this morning. As we progress I think I will revisit some of the past memories as we are only 21+/- weeks late on this blog. Here are some past images and videos to check out.
