Johnny Goudie and The Little Champions

Got to see Johnny do the full band thing this Saturday night (6/24/06) at The Sidecar Pub. It was a great show and a great time! The evening got off to a great start, as Mike and Tracy hosted a pre-party of sorts at their house, which just so happens to be about 5 minutes from the Sidecar...no joke! You can really save yourself a couple of dollars drinking before a show. I got to drink about 5 beers before heading to the show. Oh yeah, I got pulled over on the way there for not making a complete stop...I was let go! Whew!!

Anyhow, seeing Johnny again was so great! I hadn't seen him since a show at Walter's, in which Johnny seemed a little...ummm...partied out, a bit....not to mention that I am not at all crazy with Walter's...but oh well. This had to be one of the better shows that I have seen Johnny play with a band. Really it was. The crowd was dancing and the music was blasting (was that cheezy?) and we made noise for Johnny between songs. It was just a good time. I figured I had to go check out the live show because the next time he comes through (July 14th @ The Mink), I just might not be able to make it....but that's ok, I will have a good excuse I think...

Anyway, I just wanted to put down that I actually went all the way to Mike and Tracy's place, and to The Sidecar to catch the Johnny rock show. I had a great time...I think that we all did...

Baby (Updated)!!

Well, we had our third ultra sound this morning, and there isn't really much to report. The tech person did say that the baby does have a full head of hair though!! We also got confirmation that it is indeed a boy in there (Ruby needed confimation so it seemed).

The doctor wants us to go back for another ultra sound in three weeks so that we can check the size of the baby. To be all honest, I don't know if the baby is going to wait that long. Only time will tell. This is the most nerve racking part of this whole thing to me...not knowing when exactly when the baby is going to arrive. The only real reason for the these last ultra sounds is to see just how big this baby is going to be. They are a little afraid that it might be a bit too big for Ruby to deliver, causing the need for the C-Section. They did assure us that they are going to try their best to let Ruby deliver the baby "regular" rather than the C-Section, which was great to know. Hopefully all goes well on that front. I guess at this point, it all depends on the size of the baby. Man, I hope, and I assume Ruby does more than me, that he isn't HUGE!! LOL! Well, not much that we can do about that....is there!?

Well, there you have it...another update from me in just a couple of days! I told you I am going to try and do this regularly!!

Later...

been a long time, been a long time...

...since I have updated/posted. Sorry about that. Things are busy and moving fast. Don't know where to start and I don't know how to write about everything...D'oh!

Well, first things first..the baby will be here very soon! Yikes! Happiness is all that I can say at this point. I guess you really can't prepare for a huge life change like the one Ruby and I are about to face. I just know that I can't wait! It is going to be something else, I am sure. We have had two baby showers. Ruby had one at the church, and we had one here at the house. It was a throw down for the ages! I can't wait to tell him, "Son, before you were born we had a big throw down here, in your honor. And let me tell you...we floated a keg of Bud Select in a couple of hours, sorry you weren't there yet!" LOL! Baby has lots of clothes. Man, Laura and Monica got the kid a pair of Jordan's and some Jordan gear already! Mike and Tracy got some baby converse for him too! The kid is already set! We have gotten all great, great gifts..

I have, too, become a master of putting furniture together in preparations of the coming baby. Let's see...I have put together a baby dresser, the crib, a rocker/glider chair, a stroller, and a new huge cd tower. I am sure I am not completely done either.

Ruby has been doing extremely well up to this point as well. It has been as smooth a pregnancy as can ever be expected. We can only hope that it continues. She, in recent weeks, has slowly gotten a bit more and more uncomfortable though. She has really held up great though. On Tuesday (July 27th) we go for a third and final ultrasound to see just how big this boy is going to be, and a possible due date as well...if a C-Section is required. That is going to be a special day as well!

All of this has kept me busy, but on the plus side, I have seemed to have gotten some energy back. I think I am actually ready to exercise again, seriously. I am probably going to start, in one form or another, this week! Well, I will update more in a day or two...
