Parenthood is on the horizon

Heather looks less than comfortable these days. I can only wonder when the baby will be born, though I have predicted it will be the weekend of the 15th. Heather has been right on with her weight gain, a pound a week. She eats so much healthier than anyone else in this household (that would be me), and I admire that. One good thing that has come out of this pregnancy is that I have been watchful to bring home healthy food for H, and it has influenced my habits as well. We are both eating healthier than ever.

Sometime in the next three weeks, we will be new parents. Admittedly, it is enough to scare the feathers off an armadillo, not an easy feat, as you can imagine, not a lot of feathers to be had there. We will be healthy and ready to take on this new challenge. What more could we ask for? Life is good.

New Year's Resolutions

I didn't plan to make any New Year's resolutions, and technically haven't. I have felt more motivated to work out and have gotten back into my workout routine, every morning for 90 minutes. Since I have worked out every day of 2005 (which would be impressive if it were October, not January 4th), this could be construed as a resolution in action. Work is a bit slower this time of year so I have free time to work on being fit, and for some unexplainable reason, I have the motivation, too. Weird, I know.

Heather and I haven't heard a word from the prodigal brother since the Harry Potter incident on Christmas. Of course, we aren't happy about that, since we have endeavored to make Dave feel welcome in our lives. Hopefully, things will become more peaceful in time. I do not want to lose a familial relationship over something as silly as a difference of opinion about a movie, but the ball is not in my court and it is not my decision to make.
