HONEYDEW This and HONEYDEW That

"What's so hard about being pregnant?  I do all the chores while she gets to lie around and watch TV.  I need break too!"
-John Gosselin, divorcee

Let's get this thing over with!  Weeks 33-36 mark the official "uncomfortable" stage of pregnancy.  The glowing Mommy to-be from the second trimester has been completely ambushed by back aches, cramps, swelling, and carpal tunnel, bringing about the "knocked-up" version of the evil stare.  The only thing that turns the scowl upsidedown is that Baby Campos is a healthy honeydew!  She's growing at a rapid pace and making space in the tummy by throwing them 'bows.  But with so much still left to do before she wiggles out, Daddy has been dealt the dreaded "Honey-Do List."

If you have a lazy husband, then you're probably familar with a Honey-Do List.  It's a simple way to avoid nagging your spouse about doing the crap you don't want to do.  It's only hu-MAN nature to grunt and whine about doing these chores, but you really just have to make it work for you:

Take out the trash = Work on sculpting your "guns"
Decorate baby room = Goodbye pink birds, hello Air Jordan poster
Do the laundry = Keep wife from tossing your old, yet comfortable underwear

It's all worth it to make life a little easier for the mother of your child.  Besides, in a few years Baby Campos will have a Baby-Do List of her own...Item 1: Get a Job.

Third Time's a Charm!

Last weekend was the 3rd and final installment of the baby shower series.  Linh and Maria did an amazing job planning and the Kim Family was so gracious to host this event at their Redondo Beach Estate.  Everything was perfect: from games like creating Frankenstein babies to the delicious food like Margie's glorious LEGO cake.  With all the gifts that Baby Campos has received, it's probably safe to assume she's well on her way to that Spoiled Princess status =)

Waddling into Week 32, December is starting to have a different feel than it used to.  The traditional bowl game anticipation has been replaced by baby anxiety.  What if our little angel won't stop crying?  What if she gets sick?  What if she hates our taste in crib bedding?  With all the planning and procrastination out of the way,  there's only two months left to practice those parenting skills!  It's kind of scary to think that a pair of former "Most Likely To Float a Keg" winners will soon be responsible for a child...
