Falling Tetriminos
April is playing Tetris on my Nintendo DS right now. I finally got her to play it last night for a little bit, and today she has been playing for something like 45 minutes. I am quite proud to see her playing video games. I've already converted her over to reading blogs on a regular basis, and now she is playing video games! She watches all my tv shows and movies, too. I think that I have definitely been a great influence on her.
So, my son is awesome. He kicked me in the hand the other day. He has a personality, and even though he is still in April's
womb, he has found some interesting outlets to express it. The other day, we went to the doctor's office to get him checked up on. The nurse used the little machine to check his heartbeat. It was funny, though, because every time she would find the heartbeat momentarily, he would roll around and move so you couldn't hear it anymore. This went on for 3 or 4 minutes. This is just like how he would roll and spin when we were getting ultrasounds and attempt to hide the evidence of his manliness from us. He wakes up and kicks April in the stomach every night at 4:00 AM. He sounds like an awesome little trickster of a dude, no? He is kind of a practical joker--at least in my mind. I look forward to meeting him.
April just cleared 21 lines before she died.
The other night I ran to Taco Bell to pick up some dinner for us. I had a delicious 32 oz Dr. Pepper in my hand that sounded really good. You know how sometimes you have a slight headache, and a fizzy, caffeinated beverage sounds like just the thing to assuage it away? That is what I was feeling. I had been sipping on it on the car ride home, but I was seriously jonesing to sit down and drink it with a delicious grilled stuffed burrito. I walked in and dropped it.
On the floor.The lid popped off and Dr. Pepper and ice went all over the carpet. This was probably the worst thing that happened to me last week. Not only did I not have an icy cold Dr. Pepper to assuage my pain away, I now had to embark on a campaign of cleaning icy cold Dr. Pepper off of the floor. April helped me, so that was nice.
I'm thirsty.
