Lil’ G: 37 weeks down

Size Comparison: Kyosho Raider R.C. Car

My dad and I both had a Raider when I was a growing up. We actually spent many Friday nights at a local track racing against each other and a number of other drivers. It’s one of my fondest memories and I really need to pull the car out of the closet and see if still runs. The biggest question is whether the batteries will still hold a charge. In the meantime, I can take comfort in knowing that, when the track went out of business, I held the track record for our class.

Well, last weekend was our first baby shower. I spent the day with my dad at the hobby shop but, from what I understand, the shower went great. I do know that everyone that attended was very, very generous. We are truly grateful for the friends and family that are so willing to help us start our journey into parenthood.

There really isn’t any place for the baby to grow though, apparently, it still is. Hiccups are a daily occurrence, now. In fact, I think my wife counted the baby having the hiccups no fewer than 5 times the other day. Crazy.

As for us, we’ve decided on names! I guess we’ll call this the “Finals” with the winning name ultimately decided by the gender of the baby.

My favorite non-winning names? Rodney Amadeus and Hazel Nutella
