ok, so i realize that it's been awhile since i've updated this blog, but the baby is still coming to bring impending evil to the world. it has been a busy few weeks here. i had my freak out session and realized that my house is a death trap filled with useless crap. since then there has been a shedding of stuff. thanks to the bissonette children i has been able to get a whole bunch of stuff done like carpet removal, furniture arrangement, and lawn work. all of this for the low, low price of parting out my record collection. yes, it was emotional, but i haven't listened to them in forever so i figured it was time. that, and i have most of them on cd now anyway.

i also accepted a long term sub assignment in a high school. the teacher is on extended medical leave, and i've had to hit the ground running on getting lessons together. it's also a painting and drawing teacher which isn't really my specialty, but i've actually kinda surprised myself with how much i've enjoyed teaching 2d stuff. who knew? it's also good 'cause it's more money which helps to feed the ever-ravenous fetal bucky. it also helps feed the ever-ravenous, fetal, sympathy bucky too. seriously when will the hunger stop? i can already here my new nick-name at the glass shop next summer being the pilsbury dough boy.

we've had another sonogram as well. unfortunately, marcia has the pictures with her right now so no uploading them for the blog. probably in the next week sometime. we got some good ones!

for the frenchies!

Hello Christiane, Vero and Guilhem! Marcia est enceinte! Je sais, c'est fou, mais oui, je vais etre papa. Je vais essayer de tenir a jour le blog que j'ai cree, en francais, aussi souvent que possible. Attendez vous a du "franglais" car je vais faire ca moi meme. En fait, ne vous attendez a rien de bien coherent de ma part, a part ce message, car dorenavant, j'essaierai d'ecrire en francais moi meme. La, j'ai demande a une copine francaise de traduire pour moi (J'ai nomme Cecile Blanco) car je ne voulais eviter confusion et malentendu avec ce premier mail. Marcia est trop occupee et surtout fatiguee pour pouvoir m'aider a ecrire ou vous appeler. Ceci dit, elle y songe fortement, donc attendez vous a un coup de fil dans les jours/semaines qui viennent.Voila les dernieres nouvelles: la photo sur le blog c'est celle le la premiere echographie, sur la droite on peut voir le profil du visage et sur la gauche le reste du corps. Si c'est une fille on l'appellera Molly, mais si c'est un garcon, on a pas encore decide du nom. On est ouvert aux suggestions. Dommage que "Garance" soit deja pris! On va attendre la naissance ce sera la surprise. L'accouchement est prevu aux alentours du 27 Avril, ce qui me permet d'avoir un peu de temps pour me preparer mentalement. Je vous tiens au courant de la suite des evenements!.

So here's the first pictures of the baby! the alien looking thing on the left is Bucky's face in profile. if you look at the circular mass on the right side of the left picture you will he its head. it's looking up. the picture on the right has bucky sprawled out much like the woman in the painting Large Odelisque by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. That's right bitches, i threw in some art history! suck on that mike, oh yeah! Though hopefully it will not grow up to be a prostitute like the subject of the painting. Daddy ain't raisin' no ho!

the sonogram also confirmed the due date of April 27th. i'll have to get out my astrology stuff to figure out what the hell that might mean. anyone know what sign that is off the top of their head?

we have also begun "nesting" or at least we've started to clear out crap that we never use and probably should have gotten rid of years ago. seriously, i found business cards from 11 years ago; it's really that bad.

hello all, this here is a web site dedicated to the future baby barber bequeathed with the nom de tour Bucky Babaloo, brilliant is it not? some might even say bitchin'. Why Bucky do you ask? Well, mainly 'cause my father is a nut job, and comes up with random idiotic names for things and oddly enough they stick. By way of example, every year at Thanksgiving the Turkey is named Raoul. He wanted my middle name to be Oliver for the sole intention of my initials being S.O.B.; amazing that i turned out as well as i have, no?

Anyhoo... as you may have deduced by now, Marcia is pregnant! Yes that's right, we are spawning and i'm in charge of the website (insert evil maniacal laughter here). So this is where you can come to find out how drastically our lives have changed, things about the baby, and how much more that i'm irritating Marcia now that she is hormonal. So far it's been quite alot! In the next few months i may even achieve my goal of driving her completely insane! Either that or Marcia will achieve her goal of killing me in my sleep. There is a slight chance that we might both make it through, but i think that the chances are slim...

But i digress, here are some of the things that are most commonly asked...

1) we are not going to find out the sex of the kid until birth. personally not really my idea of fun, but marcia's a wacko and wants to do it that way. i then suggested that we continue to wait and find out what the sex was until Bucky was aroung 10 years old, and she gave me the evil glare. can you say MOOD SWINGS! seriously the things that i put up with...

2) if it is going to be a girl we are more than likely going to name her Molly. that way we can flog her when she gets in trouble, and everyone will just think that we are talking about the kick ass punk band Flogging Molly. sweet huh?

3) we do not have a boys name. apparenly everything that i suggest is even worse than the previous suggestion. Alas, there will be no future Vercingetorix Barber on the way, sorry Matt.

i was thinking about telling my father-in-law that we were going to name it Obama, just to see if his head would explode. Both marcia and stephanie have said that this might be a bad idea as he might actually have a heart attack. oh well, i guess that i'll have to let that one go...

if you have a suggestion of what boy names we could use feel free to post them. though fair warning, i will make fun of it if it isn't as cool as Moopsy Weaselsnard...
