Week 24: Nesting Mother Awaits the Return of Bucky Barnes

So, this past week has mostly been pretty chill. Nothing major happened (at least not that I can currently recall) and baby girl has been continuing to do just fine - the normal circumstances of kicking/punching/parkouring inside of me are continuing. You can actually, if you're lucky and paying attention, see the movement when she gets me particularly well.

As is common in the second trimester, nesting has started, spurred on by the generous donations of several friends. Mostly it just involves me wiping furniture clean and making pretty little piles of clothes and other baby things until Isaiah and I get rid of/move all of the other stuff that we'd put in the baby's room. But, as slow as progress goes, it is going, and there's no rush for the baby to get here.

look, it's me and baby standing next to a crib!

We've been very blessed to have generous friends and family who are willing to help us prepare for our baby's arrival. It's given us a lot of peace and reassurance to know that we have help (we'll surely need it). 

On a totally different note, Captain America: Civil War comes out this weekend, and you can probably expect my super fresh nerd take on it next week, along with your weekly dose of baby updates. I hope it's good, but can any movie really be better than Captain America: Winter Soldier? We'll find out.

PS: Mother's Day is coming up! Don't forget to do something nice for your moms, and don't do what I've done for the past several years of my life and wait until the last second to think of something nice for her.

    It was so much better than Winter Soldier and possibly as good as Avengers (Not age of Ultron, just Avengers)

THE GRAND UNVEILING

Be on the lookout for my first actual post, which should be coming as soon as I have a free evening! Be safe. Don't get eaten by bears. That's not very pop punk.

Dancing Man

So, in the course of my daily activities, I spend about four hours of my day on The Bus commuting to and from town (for those of you not familiar with Hawaii vernacular, The Bus is the major, surprisingly efficient mass transit system that goes through most of the island. Town is Honolulu.) Now, I spend a lot of time on the bus. I see a lot of different people. But the other day, one man in particular caught my eye. He wasn't doing anything with any of the other passengers, but he was sitting off in a corner, headphones covering his head, and when he tilted his phone screen I could see that a music video was playing on his phone. But none of those are markedly different from many of the other Bus passengers. No, what made this man different and caught my eye was the fact that this man was dancing . Picture it now. A tall man, with a square jaw and hooked nose, long brown curly hair caught in a ponytail at the nape of his neck. He had bushy eyebrows and his skin was a gol...
