Its a Small World

Today was a good day. First I started the day with my Chiropractor! GREAT way to start a day. And then at 4pm we got our anatomy scan ultrasound. Everything is good from what we could tell. The radiologist reads it and sends the info/report to my midwife so no news is good news. And no we didn't look for gender---so we have no idea if its a boy or a girl---but its a baby!

Had an appointment today with my midwife.....baby and me are both alive and kicking, and in little bug's case rolling and punching. :D

We are heading out for a babymoon in Honolulu Hawaii!!!!! We will be gone from tue 14th till Mon the 20th (we will be going to Des Plaines post babymoon). So you may be asking what is a babymoon. Well there are two types.
1. Like a honeymoon that alows you and your spouse to connect and have some quality time together a babymoon happens after baby is born. You all just Stay in or just are alone together for a few days to learn about each other and start off right.
2. Another type is a last hurrah before baby gets here (this one is obviously the current one we are going on). It allows couples to spend some quality/relaxing time together before the late nights and lack of sleep kick in.

Email I got....

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back.
When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.
She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday.'
'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.'
She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.
'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.)
'My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.' (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)
'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!' (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!)
'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's play-center, (placenta) so there must be a lot of toys inside there. When he got out, the middle wife spanked him for crawling up in there.'
Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest.. Ever since then, wh en it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along

I was looking for a pediatrician online and doing my research. Well I found a group I really like. Anyway I found a page that has all the little bio's of the doctors and here is the conversations....

Me: Troy come over and check out these bios for some doctors I'm thinking of interviewing.
DH: Ok. *looks at some pictures and reads the bios*
Me: I like this one *points*, he just looks like that lovable grandpa that you would love to visit.
DH: He doesn't look like a grandfather he isn't that old, I bet he is about my parents age.
Me: *smiles funny at him* ummmm your parents will be grandparents in a few months.
DH: Oooooh yeah

HAHAHAHAHAHA I guess I just found that as funny. Also I realized I think I hit a interesting low in my cravings. I know many women send out their spouses for their cravings at all hours of the day and night. Well I emailed one of Troy's co-workers, a man I have NEVER once met, and told him to pick me up some Sour Patch Kids while still in the USA and then to pack them in his luggage and bring them to me in the Philippines!

I ordered a stranger to pack and bring my craving to the other side of the planet! I think thats some type of record! :)
