Countdown is On

Tony and I are really starting to feel the pressure now, especially with a limited number of weekends before Baby Love's anticipated arrival. With the weather nice on Sunday, we took the opportunity to do something Tony has talked about for years, the Gateway Trail.

Basically it's where Tony found himself. Neither Tony or I spend much time on reflection. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this blog is basically the extent of my self-reflection. I think on the subject I intend to write, I write it and I'm done with it, so for me to say that Tony found himself while rollerblading a 26 mile trail system in the east metro it's really quite something. He spent hours skating the trails while he slowly worked through the end of a pivotal relationship and as he made the decision to step away from a group of friends that he knew were not helping him live the life he desired. I've always wanted to join him for at least a walk, if not a run, and so we made it our family plan for Sunday.

It's hard to believe our hands will be full with a newborn soon.


Isaac is the king of random faces lately.


I mean seriously.


Such a ham.


He was all about that stick.


The thighs you guys don't see in my weekly posts.


What was happening while Tony took the above picture.


My response. Dang it feels good to still be able to run at 37 weeks, although as I told Tony there's a difference between jogging and sprinting. I don't think I'd be able to jog, but short distances are still a-okay.


My sweet boy.


We saw so many fun things, including a caterpillar that Tony picked up and put on the tray of the stroller for Isaac. I was really worried Isaac would harm it in some way, but he did great! We also saw some horses, talked about many subjects and walked some 3 miles. Afterwards we dropped off my beautiful May 6th bride's discs and then indulged in a bit of Dairy Queen!

It was a fantastic day! Potentially only two more weekends . . .
