Good Monday Morning

Girth Update
After 2 weeks on Slimfast diet and weekend binging, I've decided to continue to process and make it a lifestyle change.

I've now lost 7 pounds in two weeks. I still have 8 pounds to get to my pre-pregnancy weight (and then another 20 or so to get to where I want to be).

Eat less calories than you burn. It all seems so simple now, except when I'm sitting in the Olive Garden.

Baby Latest
72 days til due-date. I'm waiting on UPS delivery of the overhead projector so I can start putting Seuss characters on the wall. That should begin sometime this week.

Last night, we had our hospital tour. There were about ten very pregnant women and their significant others on the tour.

Here are some things we learned on the tour:

• The cafeteria food should only be eaten in an extreme emergency. The nurses have a "takeout menu folder" that we can use, but if we don't return it, they keep the baby.
• Some rooms have pullout chairs and some have other types of furniture, but either way, Dads will be very uncomfortable when they sleep. Oh, and bring our own pillows.
• When we move from Labor and Delivery to Postpartum room, they put a GPS Lojack type thing on the baby's ankle. This is very cool, but it dampers my plan to take him to the zoo while Mrs. Undaground recuperates.
• When on a tour with 10 pregnant women, expect to take a bathroom break once every 4 1/2 minutes.

Mrs. Undaground says the experience was supposed to make her less nervous. Somehow, it had the opposite effect and she is more nervous now. I told her I'd make her a "Childbirth Mix" on the iPod and this seemed to put her mind at ease a little bit. If you have any song suggestions for this mix, please COMMENT. So far, the only song I've picked for it is "Push it" by Salt n Pepa.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo baby pop,
Yeah, you. Come and give me a kiss.
Better make it fast, or else I'm gonna get pissed.
Can't you feel the music pumpin' hard,
Like I wish you would.
Now PUSH IT. Push it good."
