So it begins...

Big Mama (Liz) was issued a royal leg massage a couple of nights ago. I held out as long as possible but felt like she deserved it. I'm thinking that this will now become a very regular part of my day.

Completely unrelated story here: In Kentucky while we were both finishing college we joined the YMCA. We would work out there, mainly sticking to treadmills or leg/arm weights. Liz ASKED me to help her do calf presses (important part of the story) so I did. She told me she wanted to work hard and wanted my help. I set a target like any good coach/fitness instructor would and we reached it. However, the next day Liz "could not walk" because of the pain in her calfs. According to her she has "torn" her calf muscles. Now they hurt every now and then. I get the blame of course even though I'm completely innocent.

So yeah - a lot of leg massages coming up.

Liz is starting to show a little more but only in the belly. To be honest it looks like she just had a very relaxing summer where she ate a lot and never went for a jog. Believe it or not though she just keeps getting cuter and cuter! (Just seeing if that gets me out of another leg massage...)

It's getting really exciting now. The first trimester flew by. We will put up a picture of Liz very soon and show the world the little baby bump.

Watch this space.
