Dar she is, me pregnant linebacker!!!!

Hey there folks! Sorry for the long delay in updating. In our world, no news is good news so there is nothing substantial to report. Tomorrow, Katie begins week 32 of this pregnancy shindig. Each week keeps getting better and better in terms of the health of da bebes. We had a full ultrasound on Wednesday of last week and both of the twins scored a perfect 8 of 8 on their biophyiscal profile exams (take that all your doctor folk speaking medical school apprentices!). Baby A was weighing in at 3 pounds and Baby B was pushing a brutfull 3.5 pounds. Both our very on schedule in terms weight and development. The ultrasound tech also double checked and doubly informed us that they are definitely boys. Thata boyz!!!

The Pray for May campaign is nearly complete, which is great. The next goal is for Katie to make it until 34 weeks. At that point, the doctors have little to no reservation about having the kids, so here's to the next two weeks!

Katie continues to be on bedrest and continue the life of "chilling". TV episodes? Nothing new. Reruns? Old news. Movies? Seen 'em all. What hasn't Katie conquered in her chiling time? Not much. She has currently won $48,430 on Jeopardy, $20,450 plus a trip to Bora Bora on Wheel of Fortune, and recently accepted a bid for $389,000 on Deal or No Deal. Yep, that's right, we're stinking rich! Boo-a-yeah-yeah!

Ok, so my apologies to go out to Animal. In my last post, I made a grand presumption that wedding bells were still in the air, but apparently I didn't TPS report that arrived via the pony express that stated that wasn't the case. My apologies. In order to show some love, I'm going to fully endorse Mal's blog. I check it fairly reguarly when I'm bored at work and if you have ever met Mal it is a must read. His literary witicisms will make you weep. Check out ndanimal.blogspot.com.

That said, congrats to everybody's fav couple who are going to make babies sometime in '06 - Mothball and Animal!!

What's happening in ND news? In case you haven't heard, the GREATEST QB to EVER come out of high school signed with ND. Did he consider USC? Of course he did, but he realized there is a much better place to win a national championship. Here's to the future of ND football!!

We continue to get the babies room ready and will hopefully post a picture by next weekend. We are the midst of fixing other house related issues, including getting a furnace, which SUCKS. I think I'm going to be able to save over 50% by buying the goods online and then paying someone to install it. If you ever run into this situation, contact me, I'll save you a fortune.

Who's Next?

Since Katie's been on bedrest, we have had the opportunity to discuss a variety of important issues. We thought it was appropriate to blog about a topic that many of us talk about when we see each other, but that is kind of taboo. So Katie and I are hopefully the first of many Domino's to fall.......


Who's the next ND couple to get bizzay?
Julia & Jason - We all learned at their wedding how Jason follows in his bro's steps and it didn't take his bro long!
Angelo & Beth: Hmm, MBA program may be a great contraceptive, but then he'll be making some big bling. Watchout!
Animal and Mothball - Come on, Animal doesn't get married for a few months AND they DO LIVE TOGETHER! Coincidence? I think not.

Katie's got a doctor appointment tomorrow and ultrasound appoint on Thursday, so hopefully we will have more good news!

See ya later le opeetal!

Friday marked Katie's last day at the hospital! I said a Whoop there it is! Whoop there it is! The doctors concluded that the great coming of the twins was not upon us yet and that she could go home. But this time it is for full bedrest, not just the good 'ol "19th century wife never leave the house unless your husband gives permission" house arrest that Katie was on for the past two weeks.

So what does this mean? To sum up: Lay in bed and go to the bathroom. It almost seems like she might be in law school at the University of Chicago. To most everyone, the idea of having a day or two to lay around and do nothing may seem appetizing. But knowing that this could be your life for the next two months is a bit overwhelming, espeically when you've got two Stewie like brainiacs trying to fight their way out of the womb to conquer the world. Wouldn't that be something.

So, I've spent this weekend moving a TV upstairs and we just got this super sweet gliding chair which is also super sweet. To top off all the insanity of the past few weeks, we have a water leak in our upstairs bathroom that has devestated the bathroom ceiling below. So, I've been able to spend a fun weekend at the HD (Home Depot for all you folk who have fought off maturity far better than I).

The babies room is taking shape. We got this schweet jungle beddings for their room. Now, don't get me wrong, it's nothing like the love jungle that Katie and I sleep in, but it'll be a good foundation for the future. So, to keep you tantilzed as we approach finishing the paint job, here is before picture, taken just as we started to prime the old room. The old room was sultry red color whom many of your readers had the chance to enjoy. As we get closer to finishing I'll post more picures.



And now the moment you've all been waiting for, a picture detailing the graphic nature of Katie's pregnancy. Drum roll please. A little history first for all the weight concious honeys in the crowd. During the first 3 months of her pregnancy, Katie was super sick and actually loss 15 pounds. Not the ideal situation for the babies, but damn was she sexy! Since then she has gained approximately 32 pounds. Not too shabby. Now I know this isn't the type of record keeping that would keep Superhero and future legal actuary N. Lambrecht happy, but you get the point. (The honeys I mentioned above also have noted that I have not disclosed Katie's weight. Smooth Vnak, real smooth). So her she is: my super sweet, sexy, and cute as hell prego wifee:



How 'bout dem apples?

If any of you have any free time and aren't doing anything, feel free to give Katie a call, we both will greatly appreciate it.

I'll update more once we get past this weeks roundabout of doctors appointments. All of your prayers, thought, and concerns mean a lot!
