It's a boy

I will type more when the shock has worn off.

Two more days!!!

Two more days until my songram!! I can't wait!

I am so anxious to find out what the baby is. I want to start aquiring things and need to know what color to aquire.

It isn't that I have a preferance either way. It doesn't matter to me what the baby is, I just want to know!!

More on celtic sea salt

This is interesting.

I didn't realize that most sea salts were refined and processed and do you little/no good.

Mid-wife appointment

Well, I finally dragged myself to my first ob appointment. My midwife is really sweet. I will be using the apprentice. She was so excited to hear that. This will be her first actual delivery where she is in charge. The midwife will be supervising every step of the way. She even encouraged me to play "stump the midwife" on the apprentice.

We don't have an exact due date at the moment. The midwife thinks I am further along than I think I am. She says I am measuring 18-19 weeks but I think I am 16-17 weeks.

I will have a sono in just two weeks to get more accurate date. Yea! I hope to find out what the baby is then too.

They say (whoever "they" is)that if the heart rate is under 140 then it is a boy and if it is over 140 then it is a girl. Of course, I know that isn't accurate but even if it was, it wouldn't matter because the baby's heart rate was 140 on the dot.

So the midwife wanted to address my anemia issues with Celtic sea salt. It was interesting to read about. It tastes like mineral salt blocks for cattle.(don't ask me how I know)

Now is my favorite time of pregnancy. My morning sickness is finally gone! WooHoo!!!! and I am not so big that I am miserable but I am starting to show enough to kind of look pregnant. I am not aching too much in various parts of my body like I know I will be a couple of months. So all in all, things are good.

Wow, finally

I finally blogged on the girls school blog. I haven't done that since November. I am so bad, I know but we will be doing it more often.

Go check it out:

Photos of Gavin

Gavin (I'll not even attempt his middle names) is David's sister's new baby.

He is 2 weeks old.

Why does TV dominate our society?

Why is TV so important? Everyone has TV. Everyone, Apparantly. Because when anyone finds out we don't have TV, they begin to pity us and try to get us a tv. We have a tv, we just don't have tv, as in we don't have tv programing, no cable, dish, or anything. We use our TV for videos and dvds only.

This happened again last night at church as we were trying to explain our position for the hundreth time and like always, this is the point at which people look at us as if we have two heads and begin to wonder what is wrong with us that we don't have tv. I appreciate the lady offering us something she thinks we "need". I just don't appreciate the way we are made out to be completely insane for refusing the offer.

There is never a day that goes by that people don't ask me if I saw so'n'so on tv.

What people don't understand is for every minute they spend in front of the tv, your not spending that minute on something else, like teaching the kids to sew, or working in the garden, or dealing with animals with the kids, or riding bikes with the kids, or playing ball with the kids, or 15 other things people tell me all of the time they "just don't have the time for".

If people want to waste time on tv, that is their decision and that is fine with me but when I don't want to waste my time on tv, why does that make me an oddball as if I have lost my everloving mind? The answer is because tv dominates the society we live in. It practically rules it. That is just sad.
