Oh, and my baby kicks back when you press on him now instead of moving away. That's his new thing as of today. So fun!
Learned a new Oklahoma word yesterday: mudding. You can probably guess what it is. In Wyoming it's called, "diggin'." In Utah it is called, "four-wheeling." Lacey says my Utah phraseology is boring.
A guy at the gym today said, "You look like you're about to pop." I said, "far from it." I bet with that kind of finesse he gets a lot of dates.
I told a friend today that we are probably going to name the baby Jonah Charles. She said (very unenthusiastically), "Jonah is good. I like Jonah." Listen babe, I wasn't asking for your approval or your opinion. Then she said (very distastefully), "Why Charles? Tell me that's a family name." Well yes, it actually is a family name but could you be any more bitchy? I didn't say that though, but hey, if you happen to read this, that is what I was thinking. Those who speak without thinking are the reason we considered keeping the name a secret. But actually, I don't think I've had any other negative comments on the name. But strangers treat you like some kind of freak if you tell them you haven't decided on a name. Sometimes they'll even press you, "Well, which names do you like? Are you trying to decide between two?" Are they just dying to hand out their unasked for opinion?? People are strange.
Last, and most fun, bit of news. This weekend we went to the Blue Man Group concert.
It was excellent!
Brandon called me the day the Oklahoma concert tickets went on sale, sounding a little bit frantic. Fortunately it was my morning off and I had an hour til the tickets went on sale. I didn't really know that much about the group, and I only learned a little more before going to see them. They are musicians and performers; great entertainers. This photo is of them with one of their instruments. Very creative. It is the only concert I've ever been to where I feel pretty confident saying that ANYone would enjoy their show. I would take a 5 year old, I would take my parents. If you ever get the chance to see them, do it.

1. I wore my CTR ring backwards. It previously fit on my other hand, on a bigger finger. It just looked like a tiny silver band, but at least it was something.
2. I, too, had someone tell me I looked ready to pop at 6 months.
3. I see you have some sort of understanding of why we kept our name a secret now. Although it was probably more hassle than it was worth.
Like Abbie I work a simple band for a bit. But I actually went without anything for a week or 2, there was a mark so you could tell I had been wearing a ring for awhile. But I ended up missing wearing a ring & after awhile the plain band was boring so I bought a CZ of some sort. If I had any clue as to where it is or what size it is, I would let you have it or borrow it until you find a suitable replacement.
People should mind their own business. Who says they have any right to dictate when you decide on the name of your child? Come on now.
