Women — I am warning you — reading this story might jealous you up a bit!
—
Micah relayed the following story to me last night.
(Background - I am 9 1/2 months pregnant, look as big as a house, super uncomfortable this time around which has allowed more complaining to escape my lips, and am scheduled to deliver on Oct. 26th which is a week and a half away.)
In his words….”Babe, Caren (our friend) is doing work in our office so I see her every once in a while.  And the craziest thing happened when I saw her the other day.  She came up to me and was asking me if I was so excited for the big day.  I told her that I really was, and could barely wait.  She then asked me if I was ready to go and completely prepared.  I told her I thought I was as ready as I was ever going to be.  Then she asked if [Lindsey] was ready.  I didn’t know how you would or would not be ready, but I told her I thought you were.  And then when she finally asked if the kids were excited, I started to catch on that we weren’t on the same page.  I didn’t know how the kids would be so excited about my upcoming Ragnar race, and then it hit me and her at the same time!  She was talking about the new baby, and BABE — IT DIDN’T EVEN OCCUR TO ME!!!  I was pumped that she was so into Ragnar.”
I guess things were really weird when he told her that her brother was going to be there (were are talking Ragnar — not the delivery room).

So here I sit and type one of the prouder moments of my life.
And now I show you possibly the proudest moment…..

The facial hair that goes along with the race.
As if the story wasn’t bad enough — I have had two months of nasty facial hair.  And because he has a really lame friend who says, “Dude…it is the most awesome stash I have ever seen”, he thinks it just might be his “new look”.
(This picture is before he shaved it down — but I try to crop him out of as many pictures as possible, so I didn’t have a huge selection.)
So then I pose one simple question.
“Do you really want to take advice from a guy who loves it, or all of the women you know (including the ones who hold their children’s hands tighter and make rude faces when they turn a corner to see you) who are telling you the truth?”
I guess time will tell us who he’s trying to impress.
