Our Life

We are trying to not use the previously effective medication for morning sickness. This is coming with limited success. Chris says all is fine, but when she IS feeling ill, the meds don’t do anything instantly. They take a while to kick in and make the sickness go away.

The cold I had just before Christmas seems to be winding down. About time!

To everyone we saw over the Christmas Holidays: it was good to see you! For those we did not see: we’ll see you soon. For those we won’t be able to see: keep reading here, I’ll try to keep the blog updated so you are not left out!

We will be in Athens for New Years, this year. Superstitious lunch is at Mom’s house. MMMMMMM, greens! I will be eating extra greens this year, along with some pork and black-eyed peas.

This superstitious lunch has been a tradition for as long as I can remember. For those not hip to the ways: each year on New Year’s day we eat food to bring good luck and health for the upcoming year. I tried to find something online abou this, but strangely came up relatively empty handed. I’ll try and keep looking for something that does explain what the deal is.

Happy New Year!

Update: found some new info on the lunch:

Not sure what to expect. i hate going to the Doctor. I have never been to a “Female” doctor, either, having previously never needing to see a female doctor. Lacking the female bits the female doctor would need to inspect, understandably I have never been to one. As well, no female in my life so far has ever wanted me anywhere near a female doctor visit they are having. Up until now, that has been “oooo- taaay!”.

We have a “munchie” for wings. I have passed a Hooters on my way to work, for the past 3-4 weeks, and think were going to try them again. I’ll post a bit later on how it all goes.

UPDATE:

Wow… I thought a prostate exam was an invasion. You girls have it way worse! Oh, and a side note: doctors offices have started a new “bait and switch” mechanism. They get you in a “first waiting room” and you think “ah crap, there is a wait” and then, there are 3 people called. You then think “sweet! line’s moving!…” only to be escorted to the next waiting room! Oh well.

I have seen ultrasounds on TV (Chris likes the medical shows…) so I had an idea of what to expect. Big goop of jelly, large hand operated tetherd thingy schooched across the belly… So we get in this room with the “show me your junk” chair… I was a little confused. Then the nurse comes in, and… well without details about my wife she would shoot me if I told others, lets just say the ultrasound was not external. Minus that, HOLY COW, WE HAVE AN ALIEN!!
