Burt Reynolds Wants You to Have His Baby

Saturday was such a dreamy day for me. First Chris and I went to the second half of our childbirth class which included a tour of the hospital, diapering dolls and faux labor. After class Chris and I decided to treat ourselves to Indian food and hit Madras Pavilion, which we have officially decided is our least favorite Indian restaurant in Austin. Needless to say I managed to make more than one trip to the buffet and choke it down, at 33 weeks everything is edible. Ok onto the dreamy part…. On our way home Chris decided we should have ice cream and cobbler for dinner and I agreed completely so we stopped and picked some up. Once we arrived home with our bellies full of Indian, our minds full of baby info and our arms full of frozen pie we realized a package had come in the mail. Chris had ordered a copy of the movie Paternity off of Amazon. You all know what big Burt Reynolds fans we are around here so this was pretty exciting stuff for us. I had been begging Chris to find the movie since I got knocked up in June. It's never been released on DVD so it's not like I could add it to my Netflix que. The funny thing is my friends Nicole from Queen Puff Puff and Vince from Vinyl Frontier had sent me an amazing journal back in August that they made from the laser disc cover to Paternity. They didn’t even know I was in the family way just that I loved Burt. They must be psychic! So it was a sign that I must see the movie since I had not seen it since I was a kid. Chris and I immediately got into bed at about 6pm to watch the movie, the only VCR left in the house is in our bedroom. We cuddled up and watched Burt Reynolds and Beverly D’Angelo make a family. Here is the summary and a picture of my amazing journal....

Despite his inability to commit to a romantic relationship, child-loving Madison Square Garden manager Buddy Evans is determined to become a father. After rejecting a string of surrogate mothers and ex-girlfriends, Buddy settles upon a pretty waitress with dreams of studying music in Paris and soon finds himself falling for her.

Anyway it was not Oscar worthy or anything, but we thoroughly enjoyed the flick and I highly recommend it. We decided to stay in bed and made our pie and flipped channels for the rest of the night. Can an evening really get any better than snuggling in bed with your husband eating pie and watching Burt Reynolds movies? I think not.
