Yay, the summer Olympics is finally here and I have entertainment while on leave! The games have been exciting to watch thus far with the Redeem Team (men’s basketball) proving their ownership over the sport and Phelps living up to his golden opportunities. How amazing to see the world’s best athletes compete and learn about their ‘hollywood’ stories and dramas outside of the gym.
Two women swimmers last night going for gold dated/dating the same Italian Olympic swimmer. The first girlfriend is a French swimmer who at one time left France to swim for Italy with her boyfriend. But Italy did not accept her; she broke up with the dude and went back to France. The dude is now dating a swimmer from his own country in Italy. And taboids printed nude pixs of the first girlfriend reportedly to disrupt the training of the ex-gf; how scandalous is that? The current girlfriend was the favorite to win gold last night and was only lanes apart from the ex-gf; neither she nor the ex-gf were even close. Instead, two Britains and an American won medals…haha…
Another story involved a Chinese diver who’s very pretty. She was 17 years old when she won her first Olympic medal in Athens. After which she got into the glamour of modeling, partying, dating billionaires, etc. and soon she complained of her coaches stringent ways and neglected her training for Beijing. She soon got her act together and seems to be doing well at the current games. I suppose even these robot-like athletes are human at one point or another.
As far as our little Olympiet is concerned, she attempted her first moves on Friday night while we were at a wedding reception. I think the music and food got her going. She gave me a few contractions for a good 2 hours then eased off and have been staying put ever since. Thus, things have not changed much around the house except Daddy is now working from home to keep an eye on us. It's also nice to have dinner covered for this week thanks to my parents tonight, our friends tomorrow and Wednesday nights, Yogi’s mom on Thursday night and hopefully a nice romantic dinner on Friday night for Yogi’s bday and not hospital food!
Enjoy photos from our friends Abbey and James' wedding on 08.08.08!

I heard a different story about that Chinese diver: that she was actually enjoying all the endorsements she was getting, being a model, dating rich Hong Kong playboys etc.. but that the Chinese Olympic committee told her that she was getting too many commercial endorsements, becoming too much of a star, and had to either stop it all or they would kick her off the team. So, she fell in line. Poor girl.
Hey, I thought you were staying close to home, woman! And here you are at weddings etc...!
yes that's the extended story on the chinese diver.
staying close to home yes but refuse to be on house arrest :oP
Still waiting for the good news mama! :D Are you getting anxious?!? Mom and Pops better help induce labor so lil 'K' can watch the Olympics too ;)
Just checking in to make sure I haven't miss the big entrance of little Miss Katie. You need to blog daily so we won't all run around in panic thinking something has happened.
