Show me that Smile again


For some reason everyone says that it is important to walk a lot when you are pregnant. A couple innocuous comments have even been made to us(from strangers nonetheless) that "you'll see when you give birth". As a non-pregnant male, I am fascinated to see how this will play out during the delivery. Will we be shaking our fists shortly after our first child is born, lamenting how accurate the advise was from Costco Sample Lady? ("Curse you Costco Sample Lady, never again will I forsake thee!!!!!") The idea of this possibility frightened us to the extent that we began immediately adding strolls to our day to day routine (couch-incubate-couch). We began with the goal to go here , but it was closed and suddenly we had to continue our pedestrian jaunt to this location. Anyways midway through our journey, some sharp groin pains (pause for laughter and applause) ensued, causing us to call Labor & Delivery, who proceeded to say everything was normal, etc etc. To summarize, we resumed our journey and eventually ate the burgers. Although we have gone on another walk since, the passion seems to have dissipated slightly since that phone call... So what will all this mean?
  • Will Baby Eichler and team have the last laugh, performing 250 abdominal crunches immediately following delivery?
  • Will Costco Sample Lady be vindicated, nodding wisely as she sips on mini cups of carrot juice and places apricots into her vacuum sealer/food dehydrator?
  • Will Emma the cat finally be diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Stay tuned to 7/20.. plus or minus 1 week...
