Belly Watch Episode 3 - 24 Weeks

Whilst her wardrobe perpetually diminishes, there is no denying the inevitable. The little guy is kicking up a storm on the inside, and much like his father, seems anxious to get on with things. Julie, on the other hand, tends to get freaked out at the thought of labour and delivery. I continue to assure her that I will be present to do all of the freaking out for her so that she can rest easy, but apparently it doesn't work that way.



As I write, an episode of "The World's Strongest Man" competition is on TSN (instead of the Leafs game, which is blacked out in the Ottawa viewing region thanks to the Senators, but that's another issue). Currently, the competitors are moving a hollowed out car by standing in the centre of it and lifting up with straps placed on their shoulders. I mention this because as much as I will undoubtedly support my son in any endeavour, I might feel a pinch less of pride if he decides to take this route. Perhaps if he wore a Leafs jersey while he competed...

The Battle of the Belly! - When Julie was in Montreal for New Years, she had the chance to visit with friends and family, but more importantly, the long-awaited pre-match weigh-in between Julie and Danielle took place. Julie appears to have the edge in size by a few weeks, but don't discount Dan's experience in handling the glorious girth!. Should be a good one.
