To all those keeping up with the blog, I am very sorry I have not posted in so long. There are many different reasons why I haven't posted so I won't go into them here, but I don't plan to let those reasons keep me from blogging further. Thus, you can all get your baby info and Billy-blather fix on a more consistent basis.
First things first, baby and momma are doing just fine. The pictures on this entry can be clicked on to enlarge, they are from the most recent of the sonograms.
Second, brings us to the title of this entry: Salt and Sugar, two of Tyf''s favorite things. Two things which Tyf is currently depriving herself of in a very self-sacrificing manner (she likes to remind me of this often). Tyfany has actually refrained from salting any of her food from the day she found out she was pregnant. A feat I am very proud of. Giving up salt may not seem like such a big deal for many of you reading this but, if you have ever shared a meal with Tyfany or are a member of the Boettcher family, you understand. It's a sacrifice akin to fish giving up water, koalas giving up mildly narcotic eucalyptus, Homer Simpson giving up beer, or McCain giving up the moniker "Maverick." It's a big deal.
The Sugar would be a deal breaker if it was sacrificed for an extended period of time. Luckily, the sugar embargo is only for a few days thanks to the upcoming gestational diabetes test. The test will actually be done tomorrow afternoon, so Tyf can then go back to her jalapeno-poppers and dutch chocolate ice cream, or the new favorite BBQ potato chips and chocolate milk.
