Of Time Past or Five and a Half to Six Pounds

yesterday was the beginning of the 35th week of the pregnancy. it seems so close now. about 5 weeks to go.

a lot has happened since the last post, there has been great loss and great joy but mostly just a lot of the usual nonsense of life... we thoroughly enjoyed the Simpsons movie and i was actually able to catch “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “F4 : Rise of the Silver Surfer”... i really liked the Bourne movie, but then again i have been a fan of the series so that really wasn’t a shocker... F4 was alright... i definitely liked it better than the first Fantastic Four movie but that is really not saying much.

one of my bosses passed away last week. everyone who knew him kinda expected this because he was sick for a while now but you can never really prepare yourself for this kinda thing. He was a good man and a good boss. He was also really, just a very nice guy. He was the one who i interviewed with for this job and He was my direct supervisor.

He will be missed. Greatly.

Bridget and i have been trying to keep up with the preparations for the arrival of the baby ... getting the birthing plan done, prepping the room, etc. etc. etc. all here doctors’ visits have been going fine and in fact, he has estimated that the kid weights around 5.5 to 6.0 pounds already(!). Awesome. Bridget is feeling the babies kicks and movements much more pronounced lately and the enormity of it all is leaving her more than a just little tired and expectedly uncomfortable. still, all is going well.

Sunday is Bridget’s shower so her parents are coming up and then my buddy John is coming up this Monday so this should be another good weekend.
