No longer a softball fan

Other than Max learning something cute from Dad, I'm no longer a softball fan. WARNING- photos of softball injuries.

(at first he is saying "cheese" cuz' he thinks I'm taking a picture)

Basically it's because Mike is getting all the attention & this is why...

Beaned in the kidney with a line drive- took about a month to heal. This picture is taken about 2 weeks into it.

Sliding into base- IN SHORTS! Who does that? This picture was taken about 2 weeks into the healing process...and it's still healing.

Not to mention the broken big toe in between these 2 injuries that lasted about 3 weeks. Seriously, what does a pregnant girl have to do for some sympathy & attention?

Ok, Ok. I feel bad for Mike. He does love to play & it makes him happy and gets him some exercise. I guess like pregnancy, he's decided the pain and suffering is worth it in the end. I'm still glad the season is almost over :)

The price you pay

Yesterday was a good day, & now I'm paying for it.

Max had a great morning- up at 7:45 ate a good breakfast etc. He played happily with his new train set from GG & Pop-pop until lunch. He even took a great 2.5 hr nap. Dad came home early @ 3 to take us to my Dr. Appointment. We waited 20 min or so, but were done in less than 10 min once we got in. Max didn't freak out while he was measuring my tummy this time, probably becuase Dad was holding him.

We headed down to LA to meet Mike's folks for an early dinner at Jerry's dinner where I proceeded to eat 2 pickles, an entire pastrami melt sandwhich, an order of onion rings & 2 lemonades (oh, its gonna get worse than this!). The newest Brownstein boy was born on Sunday so we went to meet little Owen Parker at Cedars-Sinai. Adorable! I forgot how tiny they are! Max hapily strolled the halls with GG chatting it up with everyone they ran into. He definitely takes after his GG.

GG & Pop-pop were nice enough to babysit Max so Mike and I could go see Harry Potter at the Grove. I've never been to the Grove, it's gorgeous and it was as great night. Naturally we stopped at 7-11 for treats where I got my movie favs: sour patch kids, kit-kat & sweedish fish. We also got the worst lemonade ever from concessions so when we drank that I sent Mike back for a Sprite & he returned with a pretzel & sweet tarts as well.

Sooo, point of this blog? Don't eat so much crap when you are 33 weeks pregnant. You feel it the next day!

On a side note: leaving the parking garage we saw this crazy car. Mike had no idea what it was & I thought it was the batmobile. He looked it up online when we got home. Apparently it's a $585k Salene S7. Honestly...who drives a car like that?

Huh?

Max has started to talk more and understand more. We still spend a lot of time looking at each other going "Did you understand that?". He cracks us up quite a bit. The other day in the car Mike turned to me & said "Babe, can you grab that for me?" From the back seat we hear, "babe". I decided right then to start calling Mike "Monster" to see if Max would repeat it & told Mike he must call me "Love" ;) I guess we need to be a lot more careful now with what we say, eh? He also says "Hey!" when he wants your attention & "no" a lot. Neither is on my top 10 list. I do like that when I ask him to go to his room or when you ask him to put his toys and books away he knows what he is being asked to do. He also generally does it.

These are some of my favorite words. Let's see if you can guess what any of them mean :)
