The Sky Is Green

They say that ones pregnancy progresses the more 'wits' you lose. I have noticed that over the past few weeks my wife will say some things that make me really scratch my head and go 'hmmmm...that is strange'. Or I will go 'hmmm....that is not correct'.
At first, I was a fool, and I would contest her remarks with some logic. However, I have quickly learned that I will not win these battles. Thus, when my wife says something like 'Hey, the sky is green.' I will shake my head in agreement and go 'Yes, the sky is green. Isn't that great!' However, I know that it is all Hammie's fault and that my wife will be back in her prime college /brainiac form January.

September 20, 2008 Update

My wife's pregnancy is coming along great. At least to me it is. She might disagree, though. She is feeling the size of Hammie growing and thus kicking harder. Also, my wife is complaining more about lower back pain. However, soon enough, baby will here. It is what we are going to do after wards which is, although planned, I believe, can be very unpredictable. However, isn't that what life is supposed to be about? The unpredictableness of it. Can't plan for everything.

Do You Like Babies R Us?

Do you like Babies R U? Well, I certainly don't. But I really do not know why. Every time I walk into that store, I feel like my head is going to explode. Maybe is the combination of bright lights, deep purple shirts and couples buying everything baby related in site. What did our parents do before such super sized baby stores? We were raised without the stores. And they were raised without their parents going to such stores. But, do these stores make things easier? Or are they an invention of Lucifer himself?

Doing Fine

Yesterday, we had quite a scare. There is nothing worse than to receive a phone call at work from your pregnant wife saying that she needed to go to the hospital. Well, after receiving the call, I rushed out of work and tried to get to MGH as quickly as possible. On Storrow Drive, all that I could think of what happened previously to my family. 'Was this going to happen to us?', I thought. 'What if it does? What will we do?' The questions came flying and flying and suddendly exploded into one big question mark as I walked into the room where my wife was. There she was, heart beat monitor connected with a nurse by her side. All that I could hear was thunder. It was not thunder, however, but Hammie's heart beat. 155, 160, 165, boom, boom, boom. Well, lets just say, that I was not feeling well. Then I remembered to stay calm and find out what was happening. The nurse said that they needed to do tests. After a half an hour, Tina had the tests and luckily everything was fine except for one thing. She tested positive for a fetal protein. I hope that this is a false positive. All that we can do is wait and just remember what the Temple has told us.
