Eh, the ups and downs have been crazy since stopping my loops.
Biggest down is not sub-related. We found out our baby has unilateral clubfoot during the anatomy-check ultrasound. It's not a big deal, long-term, but it frustrates me. My wife, being sicker than sick most the pregnancy, has taken a teratogenic drug called Zofran for nausea. I didn't want her to take it, but what I wanted didn't matter. I wasn't the one puking my guts out every day and losing a ton of weight. So now we will have to have our little girl in a cast for the first few months of her life, and she'll have to wear a bar with boots while she sleeps for the first four years of her life. After the first few months, she'll look completely normal, but the bar will be a pain-in-the-ass. Thankfully, everything else is on track and healthy. It could have been worse, for sure, but this has affected me more than I thought it would. I've withdrawn, am not speaking much to anyone, and have little to no motivation to do anything - including the gym.
I was also sick with some kind of sinus infection for a week. MIR was tempting, but I decided to persevere and keep this DMSI run pure - to test the "bloom," and all that.
I've received quite a bit of IOIs, but I don't even care to write about them. Nothing major or earth-shaking.
The most notable thing happened at the basketball game the other day. We arrived really early, which never happens, and out-of-nowhere I get approached to be part of the Lexus half-time show with my son.
So in front of 18,000 people, I race another guy and his son via remote control (our kids are in these Lexus Power Wheels) and win. We won a free Lexus Power Wheel, and I get to drive a RX350 from a Friday to Monday. Pretty cool.
While waiting for the halftime show to start, I was "stuck" with the entire cheerleader squad. They were pretty enamored by my little guy, but I - funnily enough - wasn't even paying them any mind. I'm with a bunch of college cheerleaders and I don't care? WTF? Oh well.
