Rowan and Erin Updates

The Paynes loved WEEK #7.  Ro-Dawg started sleeping through the night (mostly).  BP and Erin had to start suplimenting him with some expensive Neutragema fomula along side some Zantax for Ro-Dawg's acid reflux.  They can tell a difference!!!

And SPRING is almost here. 

Erin is still healing up.  The home stretch has turned into a little bit of a long home stretch.  Howeve, Erin just has to have her gauzes re-packed once a day now.  She goes to the doctor today, so keep her in your prayers.

Erin is loving staying at home though.  Sometimes she even calls BP several times during the day just to see what he is doing (boredem sometimes sets in on Erin).  Erin is in a competition with some other ladies (their names will be kept anomynous in case they want to be anomynous) in who can get back to their desire wait first.  Erin will win hands down because BP is her trainer.  Some wicked Erin eyes may come across the basement floor sometimes but BP only yells and pushes Erin simply to win the free meal for Erin (that is the prize and plus BP is just competitive).  BP can't help that he doesn't think an open wound is an excuse why she can't give me 100 situps while holding 25 lbs.  BP doesn't want excuses BATES, he wants results that result in VICTORY.  BP kids, BP kids, really BP kids.  Erin is very self motivated and really the only motivation BP has to put on her is trying to get her to eat every 3 hours to keep the ol' metabolism going.  And plus, BP thinks Erin is breath taking just the way she is!!!  As BP has already stated, he has fallen in love with Erin all over again and doesn't just think she is beautiful, but KNOWS she is beautiful.  She still takes his breath away. 

BP has enjoyed Erin getting the workout itch though because now he has company in the basement.  He had to move his workouts to the weekend because trying to fit working out/running in after work with a newborn causes for major issues (and BP knew better).  So he had to start using his weekends (which he despises working out on weekends) to slim down to his GOAL WEIGHT.  So now working out/running is more enjoyable and accessible with Erin in the basement with me doing her workout and Ro-Dawg in his bouncie seat yelling (or as he says, rooting us on) at us when we get tired.

Anyway, Rowan's pics are in.  Check them out if you wish.  They are uploaded to http://www.brandonanderin.shutterfly.com/

That is his cousin Tucker Drake (aka TD, sorry Hales-everyone gets a nickname, yeah you get a nickname too).  TD is just 3 weeks older than Ro-Dawg but is looks like a 7 foot giant next to him.  TD will be BP's down low player on the future BP AU (summer league) basketball team.
