clyde obama

So we are 28 weeks! Less than 90 days to go. Pretty cool. He's been moving around a lot today, so that's fun. It helps keep me entertained at work.

Today I even got to play the pregnancy card! Yesterday I found out that Barack Obama was coming to Lafayette, so I waited in line for an hour to get tickets. Aaron and I got to see him speak in a "town hall" type presentation at a local high school gym. It was really cool. There were about 3000 people there, and we didn't get there until about 45 minutes or so before it was supposed to begin. When we got there it was standing room only, but I said "I'm a pregnant lady. Can I get a chair?" So the nice girl let us get special seating with the old folks right behind Barack. It was pretty sweet. The speech was good, but the gym made it hard to understand some of it, with echoing voices and cheers from the crowd. Barack seemed a little tired but still remained a captivating speaker. I plan to post some pics and/or video clips (it's hard to understand the audio though and the images are not that great) but they are still downloading from my camera.













In other news, yesterday Clyde went to get his teeth cleaned. We adopted him when he was about 2, and he always had disgusting breath and brown teeth. The vet never said anything about it, but the past couple of weeks Clyde was hesitant to eat his crunchy dog food, and would rub his gums after eating. Poor pup. So we took him to the vet for a cleaning. The tartar came off pretty easily and he only had to lose one tooth, but that's still a lot for a dog his age (about 5). We got some tooth stuff for him and hopefully that will prevent further build up. His breath is great now though, and though he was groggy and grumpy yesterday, today he seems to be back to his perky pacing little self. Yay for Clyde!!
