Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!!!

and on a side note: What is a super toot?

DomestiCity 016

This strip is pretty close to Nemo's true case. He didn't quite know what to make of it.

The baby has been kicking quite a bit lately. Cristy is glad to feel the kicks but wishes the impact wasn't so hard at 3AM.

Hi All. A little late but never the less, the strip is here. By the way, guess who had yet to feel the baby kick when this strip was written...

DomestiCity 013

Here's Cristy, Nemo and I in full Halloween spirit. Hope all you gouls and ghosts have a good time!

**EDIT**
So I forgot to add my scruffy facial hair and Cristy's elegant glasses in the drawing...... Let's just agree that I shaved and Cristy is wearing contacts this week. Yeah thats what we'll go with.

Here's this week's comic post. Cristy says that she's getting kicked harder and harder every week by the baby. So far I haven't felt a thing. How hard will she have to get kicked for me to feel it? I fear for her.

It's been a busy week, so the strip is posting a bit later in the day.

We had the 20 week checkup yesterday, and Cristy is healthy and doing great. The Doctor was real positive but said that Cristy needed to eat more protein during the course of her days. So digging back to my college years, I recalled that peanut butter was a great protein delivering snack but there is one problem. Cristy has a mild peanut allergy, so she's avoiding all peanut products in the hopes that the baby won't have it too. OK, what's the alternative? You guessed right, Soy-nut butter!

It has the same protein count as peanut-butter so I talked Cristy into buying a jar. And of course it tastes just plain awful. The flavor begins bitter with the aftertaste of roasted pinto beans. If this is the alternative, I sure hope our kid doesn't have a peanut allergy. Maybe Nemo will like it. We'll see tomorrow.

Jay is letting me post this week's comic strip. No, I didn't draw it, but I helped a little with the idea. For a change, this week no belly jokes, but as my belly keeps expanding you shouldn't have to wait for long.

It's been a pretty busy week, so here's Wednesday's strip a little later in the day than usual.

DomestiCity 008

Yesterday we found out if the baby was a boy or a girl.  The strip reveals the answer. 

We're both really excited!

DomestiCity 007

Here's the Wednesday strip a little early again this week. I think Cristy came out kind of nice in this one.  She really was a super-trooper during that 1st trimester.  She has just begun feeling fully energized again this week.

I'm really looking forward to next Tuesday, I get to find out what color fumes I'll be breathing while painting the nursery.  Seriously we're really excited and will post the news as soon as we know.

It's Wednesday, so it's new strip day.  Hope every one had a great Labor Day weekend.

***DomestiCity 002 REVISED***

OK, here's something I hadn't intended on posting but have had for a while, a revision of strip #002.  After sharing the new idea with our "test audience", we got a great big laugh.  So here it is, just like new, only driven on Sundays ...

DomestiCity 005

Here's the strip for Friday.  It's one of the earliest that Cristy and I worked on and is actually the follow up to number 1.

I want to thank my Aunt Jan for inspiring us to start creating the strips and motivating us to keep updating the info.  Until she commented on the earliest posts, we honestly didn't know if anyone would be looking at our blog.  Hopefully we can keep it going, at least until we can outnumber the drawings with baby pictures.

-Jay and Cristy

P.S.  I'll be missing the first Texas Tech game this season in order to go to my niece's baptism but I'll be there in spirit. "Guns up!"

DomestiCity 004

Well I guess this is close enough to Wednesday for an update.  This one I've been calling "an argument for maternity clothes."  There'll be another strip on Friday as well.  

I think Cristy's appetite is getting back to normal and she's been feeling better.  

Which is a good thing as we will be having a fairly eventful weekend, attending the baptism for our niece Hannah and spending a lot of time with family.  I'm sure you'll all be reading about the baptism on Jim and Juli's blog next week.

It's Wednesday, so here's the next installment of DomestiCity. Enjoy.

DomestiCity 001

Wanted to share with everyone how the first trimester is coming along (or wrapping up, actually).  In case you think that Cristy was mad at me for drawing this strip, she helped to write it.  But she did get a little queasy every time she got to that last panel.  :)
