13? Unlucky?! I say thee, NAY!

Friday, February 13th, 2009

scannedimage-41As I tweeted earlier today, my wife had her 13th week sonogram today, Friday the 13th. Our appointment was at 1:00PM., or for those of you keeping score: 1300 hours! Eek!

When I told friends about this appointment, a lot of them told me that they would change the appointment. Why? If I got three numbers aligned on a slot machine…

Well, as you can see in my opening photo, there was nothing unlucky about today. In fact, it was just about perfect.

Who Ordered the PB&J with ‘S’?

DO NOT EAT PEANUT BUTTER!

Who’da thunk it?

Really, who would have thought that we would be afraid of peanut butter? Salmonella? Are you kidding me? What do I feed my daughter for lunch now? As if it wasn’t bad enough that the economy has me crimping my food budget as it is, now I can’t buy THE STAPLE kid food? Really?

Curing the Common Cold By Doing Absolutely Nothing

Can we really go from this...

Can we really go from this...

My two year old does not get sick. In her close to two and a half years of life, Calli has been sick twice that I remember. But when she does get sick, it’s usually a doozy!

 

When she was about eighteen months old she caught a flu that had her vomiting so severely that she became dehydrated. She looked pale and her eyes looked sunken. We lived in Missouri at the time, and the doctor gave her an I.V. of fluids and medicines to make her feel better. The I.V. succeeded in hydrating her, but it still took about another week for her to get 100% better.
