Probably our last time to relax

It seems Natalie and I have been on the go for months now in preperation for this little guy/girl. But the other day, my brother-n-law Robby was nice enough to ask if Nat and I wanted his Bengals tickets. Well, heck yea we do! I was able to get off work 4 hours early and headed home to pick Nat up. It was the first time in a long time that we were able to "get out" and do something. It was very very nice. We know these days will be few and far between so we really enjoyed ourselves.

I must tell you a little about the pregame parking however. Now Natalie is a pretty smart cookie, but when it comes to directions, she rides the short bus. Being as money tight as we are of late, we bypassed a couple of $10 lots to park over in Kentucky. Our goal was to walk across the bridge. Yes, Nat is almost 9 months but she loves walking. Now when she said Kentucky, I thought Covington, because the Suspension Bridge is right there. Natalie however insisted on Newport on the Levee. She was certain it was closer to Paul Brown. Now prior to her becoming pregnant, I would have no patience with this, but I have gotten so much better. So I said ok honey, let's park at Newport. As we turned the corner on the plaza level near the Aquarium, she asked me where Paul Brown was located. I said "turn around the other way"....Yup, we were about 4 miles from the stadium. She said 2, but trust me, it was 4! So we walked and we walked and we walked and got there just after they did a tribute to Joe Nuxhall :) Anyhoo, it wasn't that bad but Natalie felt her first strong contractions on the way back so I think the baby didn't like it. Oh well, enjoy the pics!
