"Yes! We had the baby yesterday, actually! That's why I'm sitting in my office right now doing paperwork!"
"Sure did! I left Sarah and my newborn child at the hospital, though, so I could come back here and watch TV on my couch."
Here's the deal, everyone... You'll know when stuff starts happening and when we have a child. This isn't one of those life-events that goes unshared. This isn't one of those things that we're going to keep to ourselves. If you're close to us at all, or if it matters to you personally that you know when the kid is born (aka you'll inherit a title when it's born), you're probably either on our call list or on the email list for birth announcements. Until then, though, you'll just have to be as patient as we're trying to be.
In the meantime, check out how good we look by following this link:
PICTURES OF HOW GOOD WE LOOK
Our friend wanted to take some pictures last weekend and needed some models. We weren't doing anything and thought it might be fun to get some decent pictures of us as a pregnant couple. They turned out pretty well.
Sarah let me sleep in until 11am both mornings this weekend. It was great.
If I could have any superpower in the world, I would have the powers of the X-Men's Professor X. Telepathy AND telekinesis?!?! Check and mate, fool.
I just Google image searched the phrase "hurry up baby." Here's what I found:
Clearly, I'm out of things to say. This weekend was pretty boring, otherwise I might have more to report right now. As it is, I think I'll head to bed.
Ugh. C'mon, child. Not even born yet and you're already being lazy? Geez...
Stay Gold,

The baby is not lazy. It is, in fact, already fighting against societal pressures to adhere to specific time limits and oppressive terms. The baby is proving that it is not going to be controlled by the expectations of others but will instead think and act independently. Apparently your baby does not like being dictated to.
You have fun raising that kid! :)
Wrong. It's lazy. Look at the facts.
1. It won't do anything other than poop, eat, and sleep for at least the first four months of its life. If I were to take four months to just eat, poop, and sleep, I'd be run out of town as both lazy and irresponsible.
2. Even though it will be doing just three things when it's born, it'll still be too lazy to do any of these things for itself. I think if all you're doing is eating, pooping, and sleeping, the least you could do would be to make a sandwich or whatever for yourself instead of having people feed you.
3. It probably won't get a job until it's 16 years old. This, of course, is in stark contrast to the experience of the people who founded this country. It's a little known fact that the founding fathers were actually a bunch of eight year old kids who were ambitious enough to learn early on in life just what, exactly, a bootstrap was and how it should be pulled.
The facts here are indisputable. It's also a commonly accepted theme in American society that each generation is lazier than the generations by which it has been preceded. Just ask any grandparent, and they'll agree. I, for one, have accepted the fact that I'll one day be crotchety about the laziness of my children's generation and have therefore already begun the crotcheting process. You'd get on board, too, if you knew what was good for you.
A couple of things...
1. Best wishes on the waiting and on the happy birth soon (hopefully) to come!
2. Totally on Prof. X. I took this really lame FB quiz the other day (don't judge me, it was my first one, I SWEAR) and it turns out the X-men character I most resemble is Prof. X. I don't believe this, but it'd be totally badass if it was at all true...except then I'd be bald, and a man, and this could cause all kinds of identity crisis for me. However, it might be worth it...?
Love the sarcasm. It made me laugh out loud for real. Also I really like the picture of the kangaroo/joey.
Rogue for me - adaptability/ability to absorb any power... heck yes.
Marshall and Sarah- May God bless you both abundantly. Even though you want the baby to come quickly (I would too!) enjoy that quiet time you have. Take a nap, kick back and watch TV, etc.... once that baby arrives you will both be sleep deprived for the next 18 years!
Parenting is not easy but it will be the most wonderful and rewarding experience of your lives.
God Bless!!
