Thoughts

When the government shutdown sometime ago I received several phone calls from concerned family members and friends asking if we had milk in our house due to the fact that the WIC program was also shutdown (milk at Walmart costs almost 4$ a gallon!). People... we live in Mississippi. The U.S. government may have been shutdown all over the nation...but not in Mississippi. WIC never closed it's doors here.

Our smoke alarm in our bedroom went off the other night at 11:30 p.m. when there was no fire so it just needed the button pushed to turn it off. Due to dumb hip problems I couldn't climb up on a chair to turn it off. I was terrified that it would wake Rhett up and he would think it was time to play so needless to say it needed to be turned off immediately. I told Spencer to get up and turn it off. He slowly sat up in bed and grabbed his phone. He then began to say "It won't shut off." I told him it wasn't his phone and he needed to get on the chair and just push a button quickly. But again he just looked at me with a very confused look on his face, he looked at his phone and repeated "But it won't turn off." (so you all know the alarm on his phone sounds nothing like our smoke detector alarm). I kept telling him the obnoxious noise that was was going to wake his child up any minute had nothing to do with his phone, this conversation went on for at least another minute or so when it finally dawned on him that the very very loud noise was not his phone. It's just good to know that if ever I'm not home and my boys are sleeping and a fire actually happens that they will most likely die since Spencer can't get his phone to turn off.

Did you know that here in Mississippi Sam's Club does not do free samples!!! My heart cried a little for the lack of free food.

That's All...

Dr. Appointments

Both Rhett and I had doctor appointments this week. Rhett needed shots and I needed to drink that disgusting orange drink!
Rhett at 19 months now weighs 26 pounds and we've decided we should take him to get shots more often because that night he went right to sleep at 8:00 p.m. and didn't wake up the next day until 10:00 a.m.

Rhett is good friends with all the guys in our complex. He dances to their music when they drive by, he waves at them non stop, and now every time they see him they say "what's up little man?"

As far as my doctors appointment went, the orange disgusting drink was not as bad this time as the first and we finally got to get an ultrasound. So at 7 1/2 months pregnant we finally know what type of parasite is in my stomach. Most people are really excited for this ultrasound since they don't know at all what they are having, but at 14 weeks our doctor in Utah told us that we had a 51% chance that it was a boy and a 49% chance it was a girl due to the fact that he said "I think I see a little penis." Let's just say I may or may not have laughed very immaturely when he said that. All this time we were convinced our baby was a boy which we would have been excited for. We just want a healthy baby, due to the medication I have to take we get pretty nervous that our babies won't be healthy. Rhett came with us to the appointment and completely freaked out when the tech put the gel on my stomach, let's just say he's a little overprotective of his mother. But luckily they had a painting of a dog in the room which somewhat quieted him down. I would post the picture of the ultra sound but the picture is way too scary looking for you to see. So without further ado.........
