The little guy’s growing all the time. It’s an adventure. There’s only two times for a newborn&#8212milk time and sleeping time, and the times in between when you’re waiting for eating time again and for some reason your diaper’s all funky; and the occasional time when people are pouring soapy water all over your little naked body.

There’s only two times for the parents too&#8212light outside and dark outside. Ain’t it funny how time slips away?

It’s 9:30 p.m.&#8212I can’t hold my eyes open. It’s 4 a.m.&#8212Why am I up? It’s 2 p.m., I’ve not gotten anything done at all today!

It’s indescribably rewarding to see my little Mini Me, but definitely exhausting. I know his mama feels it way more.

Thank you Sarah for having my son. You did a great job with him. I love her so.

Happy birthday to her&#8212July 15 was the day of her birth. She’s looking good regardless, but amazing for just having a baby and turning another year older!

And it’s true, the husband does put on some weight throughout the pregnancy. Partially because his tennis partner can’t play anymore, partially because mama’s eating for two and eating good, and I didn’t want to be left out.

Now, we’re thankful all our family members are bringing us so much food, but it’s fattening me out again. It’s been like a puzzle trying to figure out how to eat everything so it won’t go bad. But I’m definitely not complaining, it’s much appreciated and helpful.

I’m trying to run it off though.

You see some weird things when you’re out jogging, bottles of urine and such.

This issue as we were covering all of the local trivia nights, your friends at The Pulse decided to do something a little different. Look for the 10 trivia questions scattered about this issue, hit up boropulse.com to enter your answers?no asking your neighbor! (yeah right)?and one correct respondent will win a prize pack from some of the fine merchants who support this fine little rag.

Finally, thanks once again to all of the businesses kind enough, and wise enough, to advertise with us. Kind because they’re supporting the entertainment scene here in Murfreesboro and allowing you to read about it for free, and wise because they are reaching thousands of you with their advertisements. Go see these people.

Peace,
