Not much to report...

No big Cletus news this week. He or she is doing good (remember, my brother wants to be surprised). Kicking a lot. I can feel those feet pumping regularly.

And Cletus is sitting squarely on Jo's bladder. She's never really been known to be able to put a lot of liquids away---her bladder seems to be a tiny fraction of my own on a good day. But now that Cletus is starting to squeeze everything in her abdomen, my wife can hold less and less in the way of liquids. And of course that means more and more trips to the bathroom. If you are out with Jo and I, factor that into your plans---it takes time...

I started painting the basement today so that I can move my office to make room for the nursery upstairs. The basement is very dirty and has lots of spiders. More spiders than I expected... I don't like spiders.

Now that Cletus' arrival is starting to get closer, its been interesting to see how he affects plans. Up until now, my benefits enrollment at work has been quick and easy---obviously, we've been talking about the issue a lot at home and comparing packages between our work places. And in talking about a press tour in Montana next year, suddenly I am needing to factor in this whole paternity thing. Weird. Cool. Interesting. Its all coming together I guess...
