Of Rednecks and Samurai Gremlins...

Well, here we are in week 22. We were joking that there really isn't a next milestone in this pregnancy, except for the actual birth. Let us explain. See, first there was the initial appointment where we took another pregnancy test to confirm. Then, there was our first ultrasound, where we got to get a glimpse of our baby boy and hear the heart beat for the first time. Then, of course, the gender-defining ultrasound. So, now the next mile marker is the birth, which is 4 months away. It has gone by so quickly though.

Yesterday, we wanted to go out to eat at a restaurant for lunch. We were initially headed for a favorite Chinese food restaurant that Cameron has, but to our dismay, it was closed for "vacation". So we decided to go to our favorite mexican food restaurant, but, in a last second decision, chose to try something new.

There is a little restaurant called "Break an Egg", like "Break a Leg". Get it? Eh? Eh? Anyway, we walked in and it was a very neat place, but also extremely sad at the same time. It's one of those feelings when a pork place opens up in a jewish neighborhood; It's probably not going to make it.

Anyway, we sat down and ordered some coffee and water. When Andrew added some creamer and stirred it, he noticed that there were little white floaties swirling at the top. After asking for another cup, he opted out of the half and half.

On top of the coffee, a lady sitting behind us kept making noises. It sounded like she would be really enjoying her food by going "Mmmm" and then shortly after, she would make a "hawking a loogie" noise. Every couple minutes there would be a "Mmmmm....Huchgggk". When the food came out, we tried to make the best of it, but it got the best of Andrew. The next day, Andrew felt like there were "Samurai Gremlins" fighting in his stomach and spend most of the afternoon laying down and running to the restroom. Needless to say, we probably won't be going back to "Break an egg" restaurant.

Tonight we went to a birthday party for a friend. The theme of the party was "Redneck". We dressed up and went to the party and had a good time. We decided to take our update while in full redneck garb.

Andrew -10 lbs. Hooray!

Cameron: +9.5 lbs
