Anyway, seems like our baby monkey will finally be here soon (hopefully) so expect me to be gone for a little while (though I’ll try to keep everyone updated).
Hmm… what happens when adult monkeys learn to ride pigs forwards…

Frank, remember to wear comfortable shoes. Or find excuses to sit a lot.
I was on my feet for hours with the first and could get no sympathy for my aching feet. For some reason, women in labor are a sympathy black hole.
Frank, tell us you are going on a fishing or hunting trip or something. You can’t be going to actually participate in that woman’s thing (birthin’). I hear it’s nasty! Lot’s of blood and icky stuff!
You could take a couple of weeks out of town with the boys and be back just in time to have Sarah home with the little one and a home cooked meal waiting for you! It’s like a win-win…
Although my mighty Hawkeyes took a beating last week they shall return. I do sincerely hope, however that they are not forced to play on Smurf Turf! I would hate to see 75% of my team go teh gay!
If I recall, our mammalian bodies are believed to share a common ancestor with monkeys. Not that we are actually descended from them. There is no question we are mammals or that mammals adapt over time. I think the only real question is if there is a divine soul inside of the mammal. Even modern science is already stumbling across matter that is so small (to us) that it could exist in our bodies in an organized form and we would currently not have any scientific way of measuring it.
The “darks” are so small that they can pass through the entire earth without bumping into anything. Think of a flashlight that if you pointed it down would come out the other side of the earth.
It will be great! From the first trip in the stoller to your first trip with the kid to the firing range. Enjoy!
And, remember…
The last thing he said to me, Frank, he said, “Sometime when the crew is up against it, the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to get out there and give it all they got and win just one for the Zipper. I don’t know where I’ll be then doc, he said, but I won’t smell too good, that’s for sure
I will keep you and your wifey and your wifey’s little watermelon in my prayers. My German Shepherd walked by and snorted as I wrote this. That’s her way of saying she agrees.
If that rabbit starts acting up while you’re gone, I reserve the right to shoot him.
See, when your precious jewel arrives we don’t want you screaming “You blew it up!……Damn you all to hell!” We’d rather hear “please pass the gravy” as in a Thanksgiving dinner.
And okay, the Leslie Neilson joke already ran out of steam.
Why must the pig be forced to be subjected to carrying a monkey? Clearly the pig wants no part of the monkey, and yet everyone in the video seems to feel better when the pig has to carry the monkey. Clearly the people in this video are democrats, who feel they know what’s better for the pig than the pig knows for himself…and, as usual, they’re wrong.
Uh oh, I grabbed the suitcase excitedly and ran around the room and ran smack into the closet door, causing the suitcase to open up and its contests spilled all over the floor. Just like every sitcom from the 1950s thru the present. Or maybe thru the 1990s. Hollywood is soooo post-modern now.
Luckily, the pretty nightgown with matching robe and slippers for SarahK didn’t get damaged. The extra soft teddy bear is fine as are the dozen bubble gum cigars.
I live 5 minutes away from a large Swell bubble gum factory. Unfortunately it’s vacant and overgrown with weeds now while the township and the heirs fight over what use the land can be sold for. Anything but bubble gum. I had a boyfriend who worked there all thru high school & college and boy they were some fresh bubble-gum cigars. Which explains why all my teeth are rotting now. That and being Irish, the Irish & English have soft teeth.
Should I start driving from Philadelphia now? Or won’t you let me visit now that you know I’m Irish? What about the suitcase and its contents?
I have 2 Dutch Master Panetela’s and a six pack of home-made beer in the fridge on stand-by to celebrate the announcement of the blessed event, but don’t rush on my account.
Better to do it right, than to do it fast.

you have about 28 hours until the BSU football game. Keep reminding Sarah that.

Agaoin, live blogging? Streaming video? Actually, good luck Frank and Sarah and Buttercup !!!
We expect video of Buttercup riding the monkey riding the pig, by the way.
I get it! The video is metaphor – Frank is the pig and the monkey is parental responsibility. It’s so obvious!
Two words into the song I thought, “Is this Parry Gripp?” I sure do love Parry Gripp.
Good luck, Frank!
We thought FrankJ had multiple personalities before!
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

They get the Democratic nomination for President and win the general election.
God Bless You , Frank and SarahK with a
smooth delivery of a healthy Buttercup.
Until then,
Enjoy your last full nights of sleep
for the next 18 or so years.
DARN IT; Iowa Jim beat me.
Frank, you’re wasting valuable sleeping time right now.
I just saw the sonogram of my #2 daughters twins and they look like mice. I might be the grandfather of rodents. Hope yours are human.
when she sleeps through the night for the first time, you and SarahK are going to throw a party!
Carolyn,
You should probably worry about yourself if you’re thinking like me.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.
Heh heh heh.
But seriously, you guys take it as easy as possible. And relax…
I’ll be grading you on grammar and poise. GO!
Oh and Frank, when you do eventually post the video of SarahK cursing your name while crowning, can you have some 101 Strings Orchestra as BG music?
I will keep you and your wifey and your wifey’s little watermelon in my prayers. My German Shepherd walked by and snorted as I wrote this. That’s her way of saying she agrees.

Frank you’ve got my wife singing the baby monkey song incessantly. little Peanut buttercup better come soon.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.
May your travail be brief, your joy eternal!

Really? All of us who comment on this site and not one of us set up a baby pool? Frank, when’s the actual due date?

Best wishes to Frank and Sarah. And maybe there will be a surprise once the delivery starts! How does triplets sound?
About time!

Swell bubblegum cigars? Wow, been a long time since I bought those. And those giant novelty-sized Bazooka bubblegums.
I have 2 Dutch Master Panetela’s and a six pack of home-made beer in the fridge on stand-by to celebrate the announcement of the blessed event, but don’t rush on my account.

Wargs.
Best of luck to the Fleming fam.
Thanks as well for the baby monkey vid… the little botnet won’t quit watching and singing along…
