Arg!
Should have been posted on June 19, 2009 I got puked on by a baby for the first time today. Sucky thing is that it was not even my kid. Oh come on now. We borrowed a baby to try out on car seats and somewhere in there she decided to hurl. I was just a second too slow. She smiled, she grimaced and then whamo! Puke out the pie hole. I managed to turn the vomiting child just in time to make sure that I took a hit as well as Jen and the couch. Is this the start of long road? (deep breath) I think so.

Mugworts….?
Should have been posted on June 12, 2009 Mugworts it is! Jen did some research and found that there is an herb called mugwort which is used to help breech babies turn. As it turns out, mugwort leaves are dried and rolled in to sticks that you burn like incense in a process called moxibustion. Jen tracked some down at a place called Nam-Bac Hang Chinese Herbs in the college area. It was great! Jen actually said, “It must be safe, they are selling it from a store.” Yeah, they only spoke Chinese, they only took cash and the box mentions nothing about the FDA, but sure, it must be…

Head in the clouds
Should have been posted on June 9, 2009 The people at The Ultrasound Experience are the coolest. They did our 4D ultrasound several weeks ago and now let us come back for free to scan Jen and see if Van is still breech. Yesterday, Jen went to the doctor (under a slightly over-exagerated emergency guise) to have them check. The cool nurse Joanne said that he had flipped! Who-hoo! But she did only an external inspection. I am sure you can see where this is going: yep, the ultrasound proved otherwise and Van is still holding his head high. Arg. Now we have to wait a week to go to…

Don’t Judge Me
I had a trip today for a friend of mine in his Bonanza. The passengers were some of his employees checking out a job site. I have flown them several times now and we have gone to Thermal Airport in Palm Springs every time. On my first visit I was directed to a small Indian Casino as the nearest “decent” restaraunt around. I took the crew car and followed the directions to a small single story building that looked more like an light commercial/industrial building than a casino. I thought twice about it and decided to go ahead and try it out. Turns out that they have an extraordinarily tasty…

Thankful for…
Bad weather in Aspen on Saturday/ Sunday. Last weekend Kenny had another 4 day trip (he had one the weekend before as well). I was all prepared to sit on the couch and mope. Saturday night Danny & Tonita came over to keep me company and guess who ended up showing up as well… Kenny. The storm heading towards Aspen meant Kenny’s trip got cut short and he flew home early and surprised me! Right before he got to the door, I received a cryptic text that read “Knock. Knock” and was so excited when a few seconds later he was really knocking at the door 🙂 Parents who love…

Baby Register (AKA "Buy us lots of stuff")
So, I think one of the best things about being pregnant is getting to register for fun little baby things. Although Kenny and I keep asking ourselves, “Where in the world will all this baby stuff fit in the house?!?” Really, we know we don’t really need anything, but have been having fun researching the pros and cons of various baby products, from cloth diapers to strollers to baby lo-jack 🙂 Seriously… it is crazy how much stuff is out there that the industry says that you have to have or your baby will die a slow and painful death. Thankfully I have lots of friends and family who have…

No title needed
I have had way too much time off the past two weeks. A trained eye can spot this due to my increased number of posts. But I cannot complain because today is perfect. To be precise: Temp – 72 degreesHumidity – 30%Wind – WSW at 5 mphUV index – 7 It does not get any better than this. So, when I took Pilot out for one of his many walks today, I took some photos of our front flower bed because everything was perfect. We planted these flower bulbs in November and now we are getting to see the results of our labor! I also tacked on some pics of…

Exercise
I needed to get out and burn some calories this morning and it was such a perfectly gorgeous day here in sunny San Diego, so I broke out my bike to go for a ride. The trail here was flooded out with about 18 inches of water, but fortunately there was a secondary route. Okay, I will admit it: I woosed out and walked my bike across!
