NO HUCKS!!!!


Well we've been starting to tell those who we ride with. Waiting for the horror stories of we'll have not time to ride, no $$ to buy new stuff blahblahblah. We're lucky that here we have a pretty good support network of riders and non-riders that are willing to play babysitter when Kona is not available and Taryn and I want to get out and ride together.






I just feel bad because Taryn is going to have to stay away from hucking the gnar for a while.

Technical Terms

Since Taryn is a lot better with keeping you updated with all of the technical baby jargon, I'll let you know how things are really going. She told a bunch of people she rides with last night that she is pregnant. She still says I'm not allowed to tell people. What's up with that??!! Anyway, Alok, a friend here at work came to my desk today and noticed this blog since I had it opened. So accidently he, as well as others in my area found out. The crazy thing is that HIS wife is 13 weeks el prego and he hasn't told anyone!!! So if anyone from work is reading this, Aloks wife is pregnant too. Don't tell him I told you.

Taryn is freaking out today because she found gray hairs. I told her its because she is pregnant and she better get used to it. That's what I'm here for, support. Other than that things have been pretty normal. Kona has been pretty chill hanging out with his mom. Soon I will be purchasing a baby doll to train him to bring us the baby when we tell him to. You know, kind of like when mother dogs carry around their pups by the scruff of the neck. Except I'll train him to pick her(yes, we're having a girl) by her clothes. If all goes well, we probably won't need babysitters and she can stay home with Kona. Maybe I can rent him out to others. I may be sitting on a cash cow.........er dog..........here!!! He would work for peanutbutter and belly rubs!!! I'm so smart!!

Anyway, I'm probably going to work on adding some music to the blog tonight. Taryn wanted classical music or baby music. I wanted Slayer. I will find a happy medium.

10 Weeks Pregnant

Since I havent said much on where the baby is and more just how I am feeling here is a little excerpt from an email I get from babycenter.com weekly on how things are:

"Though she's barely the size of a kumquat — just an inch or so long — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, she's completed the most critical portion of her development. Now is the beginning of the fetal period, when her tissues and vital organs mature rapidly. Her liver, kidney, intestines, brain, and lungs are in place and starting to function, and they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy. During the next three weeks, your baby's length will more than double to nearly 3 inches. Before you got pregnant, your uterus was about the size of a pear. Now it's the size of a grapefruit."

This week I have noticed being short on breathe from just going up the stairs or other normal activities, I will be huffing and puffing. Jacob even noticed too when I was bringing in groceries and he wanted to know why I was all out of breathe. My lower back has been a little sore yesterday and today. My moods are starting to change. I thought I had been doing good until I was a little snappy this weekend while we hung up a new picture on the wall. I continue to be hungry and a little tired. Not as tired as I was a few weeks ago. Physically I feel thick around the middle but not showing at all. My chest has definitely gotten bigger. When I get dressed in the morning my clothes feel fine but by the end of the day the waists on some of my pants gets tight. I already have my favorites. I will be looking at getting a Bella band or knock off soon so I can be prepared for when the waists of my pants are too tight.

Picture from Weekend


Now that I am 9 weeks pregnant we figured we would add some excitement to the weekend with some extreme rock climbing at the WhiteWater Center.
Hope everyone had a great Easter.

The Man's Point of View

Well, since Taryn has been posting on how she's coming along, figured I would add my $.02. I'm holding up ok. Taryn hasn't been too crazy yet to that's good. She did mention last week that she could be 30% dumber due to the baby working off her brain too. That still makes her 72% smarter than me, so our house shouldn't burn down and we should still remember to feed Kona. She also metioned some other finer points of child birth which I will not go into detail about. Let's just say it's starting to sound grosser and grosser by the day.

Taryn is in good spirits. She contacted a new local daycare to kind of line things up for now. We're still in negotiations as to our(my) work situation once BB shows up. We'll probably really start to get the ball rolling at the end of April.
