Per Bdogg's request...

Here are some pix from my ultrasound yesterday. Both pictures show E's profile...the technician also took lots of shots of his brain, kidneys, etc., but she had to hold onto those.




As I was leaving the imaging center, there were gale-force winds...but just on that block. It was the strangest thing. I was practically blown back into the building. There were garbage bags and boxes piled by the curb, and the wind was strong enough to slam one of the (full) boxes against my leg! Fortunately, once I took a right onto another street, the weather was completely normal and the crazy wind seemed like a dream.

Great pictures of the baby! Looking forward to seeing more.:)
The winds have been bad lately, I almost got 'blown away' yesterday.

The wind you're describing reminds me of that movie with Diane Lane and Richard Gere (can't think of name) where she's blown over by the wind in NYC and meets a handsome guy....and begins to cheat on her husband. It was on tv the other night and only got to watch just a bit of it....but it looked pretty good.

I think that movie is called "Unfaithful," or something like that...


LOOOOOVE the pics of E! Thanks for sharing them! :)

Yup, that's what I was thinking (just from the cast). I haven't seen it yet, though.

Thanks!

Aaawww! I can't wait to see him in color. :)

That movie was pretty good. I think I remember some excellent twists and turns along the way.

How cool to see the pictures!! When are you due again?

I saw Unfaithful. It was interesting, but I'm not sure how much I liked it, and I can't quite even put my finger on why. Quite a review, I know. lol

Suzy - June 10. Yes, I heard from someone that it was not good. My guess is it's probably a downer b/c of what Richard Gere did to the boyfriend. (Yes, my informer gave the whole plot away ;)

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
