Slaggy looks scared to death when that thing gets close to him. Great eyes though!

What a cute baby!
My dog,Butterbean, came running from the other room when he heard the sound of your voice as I played the airplane videoclip on the computer. Now he is looking at the monitor with an inquisitive look on his face.

My daughter got the same Easter bunny. The only thing left is the face. She said the candy eyes freaked her out. It's probably safe to toss it now, right?

Kristen,
Cathy H-S here. So the funnest thing on Facebook, if you scroll down to "English" at the bottom of the page, and click on it, you can switch to "English (Pirate). It changes almost everything you post on your Facebook page to pirate language. Hilarious. I just thought we could start teaching baby Slag a great way to chat when he starts jabbering.

Isabella and Griffin asked if you ate "the nose of a pregnant easter bunny"....I think they were shocked and a little worried that your actions would lead the Easter bunny to avoid your house- leaving no goodies for Logan.
Loved the emailed pics!

Don't know if this will ever end- we're now dealing with where pee goes while using the toilet! It's crazy!

Thanks for the blog. Very jealous of your preggo trial skills. Even not preggo I couldn't do that so well.

Every mom in my family calls it the "fountain of youth". I was luckily well-prepared for the eventual eruptions by being trained to have the fresh diaper or a wash cloth ready in one hand while removing the offensive diaper with the other. It takes rapid application of the cover to prevent Vesuvius from drowning all of Pompeii. There is a relatively new product out there called pee tents I believe that serve the same purpose. All that training was for nothing, I had three daughters.

I had a talk with Slaggy before he showed up about the need to pee in your face whenever possible. I'm glad to hear that your tummy did not muffle my words.

2009-04-06T23:07:00.000-06:00

I came across your video of trials while pregnant on MTBR a while back, and have been drawn to these awesome blogposts ever since.

My wife and I are expecting a boy in May. I must say that I'm not anxious to let the firehosing or blowouts begin, but great job describing constant vigilance and its true failure when Slaggy decides the timing is right.

This is most complete & accurate list of the joys of pregnancy I have ever seen. Ditto to every single one. Enjoy the EVEN BIGGER knockers now that you're a "milk haver", as Joe refers to me.

2009-04-05T19:19:00.000-06:00

He is beautiful! And looks like both of you, you lucky people. I made a mini-Joe. Of the same length - perhaps someday they can get together and have super-tall kids. So happy for you & glad you agree that it is totally awesome. Love,
Lauren

Am so happy for you two to have the bouncing baby boy join you on this crazy adventure called "life." The World SS Championships sure seem like a silly long time ago! Maybe you can drag him around the Durango course in a trailer behind the S---bike. Let the good times roll!
Love, Cathy & Jim from Newcastle

Dear Logan “Slagathor Megatron the Third” Xavier:
Welcome to the planet dawg. Nice choice of parental units. You obviously have a bright mind and exceptional taste. As you’ll soon learn, every once in a while, despite your enduring cuteness, said units will frazzle. Something about sleep or lack thereof. DO NOT let them lay this guilt trip on you. Most of your parents adult life has been spent partying and getting very little sleep anyway. You’re actually the first truly constructive thing they’ve done. During these down times, none of your usual tricks (i.e., drooling all over them while they position you in the arms extended up over their faces pose, hurling spit-up down their backs during burping sessions, or urinating in their faces during diaper changes) will humor or appease them. Do not despair though. Just try shooting them some raspberries, a/k/a the Bronx cheer. Works every time. Good luck with those two and try not to let the big one eat you out of house and home.
Your always friend -- H
