Too many idiots in this world...

Hubbie filled out FMLA paperwork so that he could use a week of sick time (instead of vacation) when I have the baby. He had to do it thru FMLA because he's not actually sick but a family member is, anyway...bla bla bla...

So he puts in for the week of Feb 1st. His supervisor emails him and says that that week is their "Statistics week" and it really doesn't work for her. And to quote her: "IS THERE A PLAN B?"

A Plan B??

Are you joking?

When would work better for you? Shall I hold off until March? I mean, I do SO LOVE being pregnant, and babies always do what you tell them to do, so we could probably make that work, right?


And to let you know: He responded **VERY SARCASTICALLY** with similar questions as the above and told her not to worry about it, that his statistics will be done.

I grew up in Detroit and by nature of that am a Red Wings fan. I think you have to be, it's like a law or something. 10+ years ago when I was graduating from High School, the Red Wings were on top of their game. Detroit had been nick-named Hockey Town and we had the best parties watching the games. We even danced in the streets when they won the Stanley Cup. These are some of my funnest memories!!

**The Hockey was okay too.**

Fast forward a few months to the sleepy town of Rexburg, Idaho. I meet a cute boy from Phoenix who says "Cool, your from Detroit? Are you a Red Wings fan?"
I replied: "Heck ya, I'm a Red Wings fan, are you?"
He tells me that Phoenix had only had a hockey team for a short time, so he's always been a Red Wings fan. Then he asks if I was going to watch the game tonight. This is where I saw my chance! "Oh," I replied (*batting eyelashes and flashing my most charming smile*) "I don't have a TV" Ha Ha! He took the bait! "You should come watch it at my apartment"

Well, here we are sitting on the couch some 9 years later. It was Friday and this is how the week had gone:

Monday: Fiesta Bowl,
Tuesday: Sugar Bowl,
Wednesday: Suns Game,
Thursday: National Championship Game,
Friday: Suns Game & Coyotes Game.

Let me also tell you that this is the first week my dear Hubbie had been home in the evenings in 18 months (he started on days again and it's WONDERFUL!) So to celebrate he decided to OD on sporting events. By Friday I was at my wits end and complained about having to flip between 2 sporting events. He says "hey, I seem to recall a 19 year old girl that loved hockey"

Yeah, yeah... I know. I sat down and fell asleep on the couch. And in my defense: He never asked me if I was a HOCKEY fan:)

3-D baby pics!

I've been meaning to scan these for a month now. Since they were taken on 12/1 I figured 1/1 would be a good day to post them! It was the coolest thing ever to see a 3-D pic of this baby. Squirt came along and was in awe as well. It went from looking like an alien to an actual baby. The ultrasound tech even did a quick 4-D scan, which is basically just a live feed. We were watching her just wiggle around in there. It was amazing! Apparently she's quiet large. They estimated her weight at 3lbs. 10 oz. which is above the 95% for her age. My Doctor estimated that she'd be 10 lbs if I went full term. The ultrasound tech was just oohhing and awwwing and I think she even teared up once which I thought was strange. Hubbie said that she was pregnant and did a pretty good job of hiding it but he could tell, that would explain her emotions!

We scheduled my C-section for Feb 2nd. I just hope she hangs on that long! Most days I feel like she's trying to claw her way out. My Doctor said he "should" be back from Uganda by then! That's a really comforting thought. Thanks Doc for deciding to do a medical mission in my 9th month of pregnancy. Really that was so selfish of you! Ok, Ok, I'm kidding (kindof).

I guess I'm having a baby shower in a few weeks, so look for invites if you live locally. I'm not crazy about the idea cause I'm a little old school and think you should just have one for your first. But my mother in law and sister in law really want to throw one and who am I to deny them the pleasure of throwing a party?? So come party and celebrate my baby girl!!
