A Joke

I didn't want to forward another Joke... so, i figured i'd just put it here! Laugh at will...

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, STOP! Acts 2:38 ("repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven).

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar.
"She said she had an Ax and Two 38's!"

It's a....

Boy. :-)

But he's healthy & all his parts are there & the fibroid is supposedly gone. So, baby boy Watson is due on June 21, 2007 :-)

Love to all! Happy Valentine's Day

Okay... my brain is done thinking...

1 more day!!!! then we'll KNOW!

Just lying around

Just a week & 1/2 to go... i can't stand the suspense... Don't know how people can go their entire pregnancy not knowing who is in there! We will be at week 22 when we find out.

Maybe then we'll have a better idea of what kind of delivery to expect. Jake was a c-section, but not by choice, and it was GREAT! This time I told the doctor we'd just wait and see...

We do have a fibroid in there competing with baby though, so we'll get to see it, and how much it has been growing... then maybe know how big of a threat it is to baby. Again, i'm not looking forward to either delivery type. In high school I thought for sure that they'd have incubators ready by time I had kids... Fortunately, God knows best & getting baby out unscathed is the important part.

For all my new soon-to-be mommies... let me recommend, "On Being Babywise." (it could be Becoming Babywise... it's in the other room & i'm not gonna go get it. My little sister used it & recommended it & sent it to me... and I can't believe i've been raising Jake without it!! Of course you can do the trial & error method with baby #1, but I really wish i hadn't.

okay... off my soapbox.

next post on Jake!
