The Waldron Family

My friend Morgan says this looks like we're buying bananas. I should find out how much the hospital bill was and figure out how much we paid per pound. No Bryce, that's Daddys finger. Mommy isn't available right now. Check out the conehead. He's still darn cute though. He's so tiny in his car carrier. the thing weighs about 25 lb. real easy to shlep around. Hey Lady, that thing is cold! Man, Doctor's appointments suck! You could at least stick it under your arm and warm it up! Yup, I gots a belly full of milk, my hungry caterpillar onesie, and not a care in the world. Sometimes life just doesn't get any better.

I'm not even sure what literary work that is alluding to, but here he is! The Bryceman decided to come visit us a little early, but only a week. Kim's water broke (just like in the movies!) on thursday night during Grey's Anatomy. Kim was bummed that she couldn't watch the end, but what can you do. there's always summer reruns. So, we arrived at the hospital about 10pm on Thursday May 10. Ten hours, many contractions, a botched epidural, and ten centimeters of dialation later and out popped one cute little guy at 7:39 on Friday the 11th of May. 7lb 14oz, 21 inches long. he's got huge feet and long thin fingers. Auntie Keisha was so happy to have Bryce share her birthday! Staring adoringly at his daddy already. The Waldron name lives on! She'll probably kill me for putting a picture of her from the hospital, but she looked so beautiful I couldn't help not adding one. Do you think she is happy to see the little guy or just happy that the contrac...

Come One, Come All! i actually look like many of my relatives from up north. Or a cop. with a very bad mustache. My dad had one of these for years when he was a principal. Because he was everyone's Pal. Kim loves it and doesn't want me to shave it. See, she can't get enough. you know who else loves it? Optimus Prime. He's totally jealous that i can grow such a sweet stache and all he can do is turn from a truck into a robot. Though in truth, this is what Kim thinks.

The waves are done. They now go all around the room except for the bifold doors on the closet. they are still the ugly beige that the builders put in 20 some years ago. there's the ugly doors. they will be a nice clean white soon. I just need a few rain free days so they can dry outside. I'm gonna spraypaint them. ooo. CFC's are the best. "I agree that CFC's are the best. I also approve of the waves in Bryce's room"-JEJ "I don't like the waves or CFC's!!! I will pound them with my big hammer after i hammer Conan!"-some random big guy with a big hammer.

First we have the Ben Afflec... The pensive Ben Afflec.... The YMCA....alternatively the Cop, or the Leather boy.... The Blank expression on the Leather Boy.... Look, I even styled my nose hair! Next on deck.....The Richard Fry....

here's a hairy man drawing on the walls. usually you get in trouble for doing that, but i'm the daddy, so i get to do these things. I made the stencil too. that was the first draft also. no changes were necessary. i could have used a permanent marker. i used a pencil because i thought i may have needed to erase or modify. silly rabbit, pencils are for people who make mistakes. i didn't need to worry at all. my hand was steady and true. I rock. The view outside the window isn't too bad this time of year. The dogwood (?) is blooming. Uh oh! It looks like the wind is picking up and the waves are getting bigger. Small craft advisory is in effect. Better call Grandpa Hood (he's a volunteer Coast Guard dude)! NO! The waves are too big, better ditch the boat and break out the surfboard. looks like the sets are rolling in nice and even. Check out the barrels. Shaka Brah!

Barefoot and Presents! See, I still got it. (Instead of Barefoot and Pregnant, I said Barefoot and Presents, get it, Presents instead of Pregnant. Get it? I think my humor is wasted on you people.) Luke thought it was funny. he's rolling around on his back as we speak. See a couple of posts back. So, this was the family and friends (as opposed to the work and friends one of last post) shower. Andrea and Laura hosted us at Chris and Andrea's place. Thanks! Kim brought the camera, but didn't take any pictures, so i took pictures when i returned. Grandma and Grandpa Waldron came down to join in the fun, as well as Grandma and Grandpa Hood and Grandma Fry. Stacey and Keisha came as well, but they left before i came back to take pictures. I'm sure others took pictures during and we will have some to share at a later date. Oh yeah, Aunt Pat came too, all the way from Oneida, home of great, shiny silverware. Here's the hostesses, Ooo, surprise, surprise, Laur...

OOO, Cake. Everyone likes cake. Is Bryce going to be a girl? One might think that from the colors on the cake, but i'm not complaining or anything. I love the pink bows, flowers and shoes. Thanks Costco. I hope Tina doesn't get mad at me. We love you Tina. Seriously. Thanks for throwing such a great Shower. It is nice to know that people love us and care about us as much as you obviously do. We couldn't ask for better friends. You like us, you really, really like us! (hee hee hee, there, that should save my butt. It's not like we have to work with her or anything...). As you may have guessed, last friday Tina and Erin threw us our first baby shower. Lots of friends from work and yummy food. Tina even made a point of getting me some chicken wings. Chicken wings are good. MMMMMM, Chicken..... Conan likes Chicken wings i bet. Look, therapists! They do exist outside of the classroom. Just approach them slowly so's not to startle them. Ain't that ...

Long ago, in a time far from today, there lived a man's man. that man was Conan the Barbarian. You must realize that i am not all that serious here. Conan, what is the best thing in Life?... Conan:"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women!". Damn straight Conan. you the man. Hey, what's that symbol you are looking for look like? " ....Dah ting looged like dis - it hod two snake-hedds commink togeddah obah a sun und a moon.... ". So, we have seen Conan the barbarian, now we have Conan the septugenarian. Oh Arnold, what has being a Republican done to you? But seriously, Conan is like the best movie ever. Just the first one though. the second one (with Wilt Chamberland, say no more) sucked. The first one had James Earl Jones. Any movie with Arnold and James Earl Jones has to rock. I can just hear the lamentations of the women. I bet Maria Shriver lamentates when she sees the Governator withou...

This is what i see every day. Luke sits and waits for me to invite him onto my lap. I haven't shaved face or head since the operation, so i think that Luke thinks i am his long lost mother. He has taken to laying on my chest and biting my nipples. He even moves down my belly looking for more. No one ever accused him of being terribly smart. Cut him some slack. He has abandonment issues. Daddy likes the Deadliest Catch. High drama on the Bering Sea. I'm so bored. I have been going to PT a couple times a week, and i can drive, so i occasionally hit up Barnes and Noble to catch up on my trash magazine reading. I think one more week will be good and then I can head back to work.

I've been feeling better and am able to walk on my own two feet, so I thought that I would get going on the baby's room again. The blue is very nice, and went on really thick. Now i just have to figure out how to do the waves. I'm going to make a template, but i need to have Kim help with the laser level to make sure we have a nice straight line to draw them on before i paint.
